Katie Grubb Receives MRICs

We’re thrilled that Katie Grubb from our Building Consultancy team, has successfully passed her RICS Assessment of Professional Competence and is now a Chartered Project Management Surveyor (MRICS).

Kate Henry-Aston, Chair said “Huge congratulations to Katie, this is fantastic news and thoroughly deserved!  With only 27% of new RICS Chartered Surveyors in 2024 being women, Katie is helping to shape the future of the profession and will serve as an inspiration for female graduates to come.”

Massive congratulations from all of us at Hunters.
