First formed in 1979, The Survey Association has gone from strength to strength, with over 200 members located all over the UK, with Full Members turning over more than £300 million between them.
Setting standards for the land survey profession
Setting standards for the profession has always been one of the guiding principles of our organisation. We take our commitment to helping maintain the quality of work carried out by our members very seriously, as evidenced in recent years with the work around PAS128, culminating with the launch of PUMA.
Collaboration is key
Our collaboration with other organisations, such as our work with the Survey Liaison Group (SLG) on addressing the skills gap at our inaugural Geo:influence event last month, really demonstrates the strength and ability we have to address and take action to overcome common challenges faced by our profession.
Exclusive member events
Year on year we have seen member events we run becoming increasingly popular and of direct benefit to everyone who attends. Members from companies of all sizes enjoy these opportunities to get up to date, as well as network with each other and it is exciting to see regional relationships growing in strength too. These live events, such as our annual conference and our AGM, are an important part of what’s on offer for our members. You can keep up to date with what exclusive member events are coming up here https://www.tsa-uk.org.uk/events/.
Members also appreciate the opportunity to take part in regular workshops and seminars, covering topics from sustainability to wellbeing. This helps members stay up to date with latest best practice, ultimately helping us fulfil one of our key mission statements, to help our members build a better business.
Advocating for surveyors
Acting as spokesperson for the profession means we can advocate for members when it comes to regulation and legislation. Having worked so closely with Detertech for many years, we have been pleased that, as a direct result of our efforts, information on equipment theft is being shared with police, who are now following up on every incident of reported equipment theft. Within the last few weeks, it has been really gratifying to see that the impact of these thefts is now being discussed in the House of Commons, influencing recommendations on much tougher consequences for the criminals involved.
