Not all surveying practices are the same and in our case not all team meetings are the same!

When I set up West Country Surveyors Ltd I really wanted it to be different. A place where myself and the team as a whole really do want to come to work on a Monday and love what we do. Somewhere in the back of my mind it was going to be the closest I could get to those hazy school days we all look back on fondly whilst still being super professional (minus the suits and ties…..that was the FIRST thing I banned at set up!).

 

Anyhow, at our monthly team meeting this month we mixed it up and visited the wonderful Brickhaus Cafe in Wellington, Somerset. Here you get to build LEGO whilst having a biscuit (LEGO themed of course!), coffee and a chat….perfect for us and really fits in with our website theme. Win-Win.

So off we toddle on a warm Wednesday afternoon, bricks flying all over the place, drinks drunk and models made. This is how I envisage a team meeting, practical, fun and engaging.

 

 

Then show stopper, Taylor tells us she had never actually built a LEGO model before…..that is it the job interview format now has an extra question added to the mix. How could I possibly not have asked ‘What is the best LEGO model you have made as an interview question for a Surveyor? Anyhow, Taylor broke her duck and built a set of cacti which looked really great.

I think everyone enjoyed doing something different and the change in venue is always appreciated.

 

 

We know we are different than most of the surveying industry, but that is what makes us special! If you would like to be a Surveyor at our firm please do get in contact, we have a vacancy to join our team and would love to hear from you.
