I’m Richard, Chartered Building Surveyor and Director of RB Surveyors. After completing my studies in the City of Liverpool I went on to work with various commercial property consultants in London, Manchester and Chester. Along the way I gained extensive commercial property knowledge and industry experience.
I formed RB Surveyors in 2012, a company that adds value, is service focused and houses a fantastic team ethos by all working together. Since day one we have a proven record of delivering quality, commercial reports. We now deliver our services and add value to the largest retailers, investment companies and local authorities throughout the UK using a confident growth strategy.
Communication is a key driver for me and the company, we add value by clearly explaining matters, options and outcomes. We excel by delivering concise feedback, at the right level, within hours of attending site.
When I get some free time, I love spending time with my family and travelling the world, especially the city breaks.
Ian is both a Chartered Building Surveyor and Chartered Project Management Surveyor with over 30 years of experience in commercial property and construction.
I’m Darren and I’m the Associate Director at RB Surveyors, leading our team of Surveyors. Since graduating from Liverpool John Moores in 2011, I have gained valuable client-side experience, with particular emphasis on project management within Healthcare and Retail. Now a Chartered Building Surveyor and having been at RB Surveyors since 2016, I have experience in all aspects of building surveying; however, I have a strong focus on contract administration, pre-acquisition/pre-lease reporting and reinstatement cost assessments.
My spare time is generally spent as a busy parent and foster carer and we enjoy days out, holidays and trips to the theatre. When I do find spare time to spend with friends, I like to sample the delights of the craft beer world.
I’m Kelly and I am the Head of Office Management. I am a dynamic Senior Office Manager well versed in work at Director and Board level. I am mostly responsible for handling all confidential and senior matters, overseeing all offices and ensuring continuity over our excellent service level.

I enjoy being part of a team that is pulling in the same direction in order to deliver a personal and professional service, as I feel this leads to greater success. My work family is the best support I could wish for and go above and beyond to make every client happy. I welcome questions and any challenge you can throw at me. I am detail oriented, and I pride myself on the ability to communicate well.
When I am not making magic at my desk, you’re likely to find me exploring the world with my family, enjoying the theatre and taking on the challenge of an escape room. A smile rarely leaves my face and I enjoy life.
