Spring in the UK is a time for optimism and for seeking out new opportunities, well it is in my opinion. And so I write this column in an upbeat mood reflecting, I hope, on the plethora of exciting opportunities that lie ahead this year for members to get engaged with.


The IIMS means different things to its many members, but two areas where I think the Institute can really make a positive impact are in the area of raising surveyor standards globally and training as a whole. Whilst raising standards is a desirable goal, it needs a bit more thinking time still. However, the training plan that has come together for 2018 is, I believe, excellent and full of impact. The formation of an IIMS Inland Waterways Working Group is an important development – their first training event takes place in April - through to the IIMS Conference in Sydney in early August; or the 24 hour Marine Surveying International Fest 2018, or the eCMID seminar in London in May perhaps? There really is something in the coming months for surveyors practicing in most areas of the business. I hope you will choose to get involved as the year progresses.
