Two surveyors from Trident Building Consultancy’s Leeds office have been promoted to the company’s senior team.
Christian Watkins and Usmaan Mehboob, who work at the office at Carlton Tower, St Paul’s Street, have both been appointed to Associate Director from the role of Principal Surveyor.
Christian, who specialises in fire safety surveys, joined Trident Building Consultancy in 2017, passing his APC qualification in 2019.
Through his role as an APC counsellor, he also supports younger colleagues through their professional qualifications.
Usmaan also joined the company in 2017 and qualified in 2019, now specialising in large office refurbishments and other commercial surveying work.
He also sits on several management committees within the business, including those dedicated to sustainability, HR, and the Building Safety Act.
Christian said: “I’m delighted to join the senior team here at Trident Building Consultancy as it will enable me to play a more meaningful role in guiding the future direction of the business, and help to help more of my colleagues.”
Usmaan added: “I’ve always loved my job at Trident, so being promoted to Associate Director is a real source of pride. As an EOT, Trident is owned by its employees which means it is managed very much with our people in mind. This, we believe, is the secret to the business’s ongoing success.”
Dan Roe, Managing Director of Trident Building Consultancy, congratulated Christian and Usmaan on successfully taking the next step in their careers.
He said: “We are extremely fortunate at Trident Building Consultancy in that we have a great track record of recruiting and retaining talent.
“This is helped by being an EOT, meaning everyone who works at the business has a hand in making key decisions and shares in our financial success.
“To ensure this continues, we are keen to reward the hard work and talent of our people by helping them to get to the position they want to in their careers and fulfilling their potential.
“These well-deserved promotions are a reflection of that.”
