Qualified as an RICS Chartered Surveyor from commercial property pathway in January 2018, Alan has progressed rapidly over the course of his professional career. He joined Emperor Group in 2015 and is currently responsible for the group's property investment, development, leasing and sales and marketing.

 

Referring to a well-established membership of young and future professionals, RICS Matrics supports new members entering the profession, and work with RICS to shape the future of surveying. The Matrics Committee plays a pivotal role in engaging and inspiring these next generation of surveyors and future leaders of the profession. It connects and supports students, trainees and newly-qualified professionals (up to five years post-qualification) of the RICS community in Hong Kong, and acts as role models and ambassadors of surveying industry.

 

Over the 24-month tenure, Alan will lead the Matrics Committee to promote the surveying profession, shape career initiatives, encourage thought leadership, and help young and future surveyors develop skills and grow their profiles and networks.

I will do my best to serve as a role model for the surveying profession and advocate the good work of RICS as a leading global professional body. Our industry is evolving at lightning speed due to the use of technology. As a young surveyor, I will also lead our profession to embrace technology and adapt to the fast-paced market."

 

Mr Dave Hallam MRICS, Chair of the RICS Hong Kong Board, added: "The region's real estate sector has been evolving rapidly and is currently facing a talent gap. That's why the work of RICS Hong Kong Matrics Committee is so important when it comes to expanding the talent pool. With Alan's experience and interest in the application of new technologies in the surveying profession, I am sure he will help those in the industry keep up to date with the latest trends and inspire the next generation by engaging with young surveyors. I wish Alan the very best of luck in his new role."
