Every mentoring story is inspirational, but Anil’s is particularly inspiring because he went onto become a mentor himself and would later win the prestigious RICS Matrics Young Surveyor of the Year Award for the Mentor category in 2016. Rare mentor, Raymond, mentored Anil for many years, supporting his journey from when he recruited Anil as an Assistant Surveyor, through to seeing him achieve a First Class Honours Degree in Building Surveying at Southbank University, through to going onto get Chartered. Raymond's philosophy has always been to share knowledge and wisdom, which he considers to be an ethical duty as an experienced Chartered Surveyor. He helped Anil unleash his potential onto the sector through professional mentoring, and he has gone onto have a blazing career, including being recognised as the youngest FRICS in Africa and being an award-winning, global success in the RICS community. Anil wanted to pay it forward, and has gone onto mentor himself. To date, he has helped an impressive 130+ people get chartered, across 16 countries and 5 continents. We proudly use Anil’s story as a case study for our Rare mentor, Raymond, and as a testament to the power of mentoring.
