HWM SURVEYORS - Key Persons
I trained with my father in the family general practice business in Barrow in Furness, qualifying in 1982. The practice was bought out by Prudential Property Services, following which I started with HWM (formerly Harrison, Willis and Moore) in April 1989.
I have practiced in the Furness, South Cumbria and North Lancashire area throughout my career, carrying out inspections and valuations, mostly for residential property.
I am interested in local industrial and architectural history, and a member of Cumbria Amenity Trust Mining History Society (CATMHS), Cumbrian Railways Association, and Furness Railway Trust.
I have been for many years a deputy warden at Ulverston Parish Church, and served on the PCC. I am currently on the Church building Restoration Committee.
I am also a Trustee on Ulverston Town Lands Trust, a small local charity managing various parcels of land in and around Ulverston, which includes Hoad Hill (but not the monument!)
I graduated from Wolverhampton University in 1992 after completing a degree in Quantity Surveying. I never went into that industry however always stayed within the construction sector. I began working as a Stock Condition Surveyor, and enjoyed that role for many years. I joined HWM Surveyors in 2007 and qualified as a Chartered Surveyor in 2008.
I had the opportunity to become a Director in 2010 and have enjoyed this role ever since. I have always loved construction, architecture and the built environment, and feel lucky to able to look at so many beautiful buildings every day.
Job Titles:
- Graduate Building Surveyor
Hi, I'm Sophie and I started working for HWM Surveyors back in October 2018, where I began my journey as an Office Administrator. I knew straight away I had a passion for construction and surveying, embarking on my university apprenticeship degree in April 2020.
I finished my degree in February this year, and I am due to graduate with a First Class Honours degree in July 2024! I am overwhelmed with the support HWM have given me and I cannot wait to finally qualify later this year and provide a professional and thorough service for our wonderful clients!
Besides my interest and passion for building pathology, I enjoy spending my free time with my family, in the gym or wild camping! I am looking forward to what the future holds and I am loving every minute of my journey at HWM Surveyors.
