Purchase of Murrills House crowdfunding tops £10,000


In case you missed the launch of the crowdfunding opportunity recently, IIMS is reaching out to the members and supporters of the Institute to invite them to make a financial donation towards the purchase of Murrills House as the Institute’s new permanent headquarters. Any financial donation will not simply go to the bottom line of the business and get lost. Rather, we plan to invest it in paying for the stamp duty on the purchase with any balance left being put towards some of the maintenance work we will need to do, which includes a variety of minor works.


All those who choose to make a contribution (unless anonymously) will be recognised with a special, individual Founders Plaque for each person making a donation which will be displayed in the offices for ever more. And rest assured that any donation, no matter how small, will be very gratefully received. We have made it simple to do by setting up an online ‘Just Giving’ page, which can be accessed at https://bit.ly/2VU4Qnr. Alternatively you can simply transfer money to IIMS but please let us know beforehand if you intend to do so; or you may send a cheque directly to head office. The opportunity to donate will remain open until 31st


March 2020.


IIMS Diploma Professional Qualifications - new education assessors and markers required


Thanks to those who put their names forward after our appeal last month. Some of the IIMS Professional Qualifications are currently getting a makeover and are being updated. Unit 1: An introduction to Marine Surveying for Yacht & Small Craft Surveyors has been re-edited, revised, updated and released to new students from the July intake onwards. Unit 4: Report Writing is the next for a review and update.


A new module entitled Business Management is being readied for launch in time for the October student intake. This module will help the students learn that there is more to running a successful small business than just performing the survey and writing a quality report.


Our assessor and marker pool is sadly ageing and we would like to extend it as part of our succession planning. IIMS is keen to attract some new markers for the education programme. If you have a detailed and specialist knowledge of any area of marine surveying and would like to become a marker, please put your name forward without obligation to Lorna Robinson. IIMS pays a modest fee for each paper marked. The work is not onerous, is all conducted online via email meaning you do not have to leave your office. Please email Lorna Robertson for more information at education@iims.org.uk.
