Green Shoots of Bennington Green

May 23, 2012 - PRLog -- In line with the Company’s growth strategy, Chris Lewington has been appointed as a Director and will be responsible for the Building Surveying & Contract Administration by the firm, which is now recognised as one of the South Coast's leading surveying firms.

Chris is a Chartered Building Surveyor and a Member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

His career began within the Construction Sector as a carpenter joiner following completion of a City & Guilds Craft & Advanced Craft Apprenticeship with Mullen & Lumsden Contractors. Chris then continued his studies up to university level, where he chose building surveying as his career choice and transferred to a Kent based surveying practice, Steve Frankham Associates, as a Trainee Surveyor.

Following completion of his Building Degree Chris had a two year spell within the Technical Services department of Swan Housing Association based in Essex, before transferring back to the private sector in 2002 when he joined The Livemore Partnership based in London’s Docklands. Whilst gaining experience, Chris continued his education until he became professionally qualified in 2004.

Chris said, “I relocated with my family to Dorset, which is a beautiful part of the world, six years ago.  I continued working in the private sector for The Welling Partnership in Southampton, where I spent two years before joining Bennington Green back in 2008.”

Chris joins Ryan Greening who has also been awarded a directorship this month, bringing the total number of directors currently five.

Nigel Soloman, Managing Director of Bennington Green said: "These are very exciting times for Bennington Green as we have a clear strategy for growth which is now coming to fruition.  We are dedicated to appointing only the best candidates for the job to ensure our clients receive exemplary service for unrivalled service offerings which is why we recognised Chris’s potential to appoint him as a fellow director.

He added, "We have also appointed Ryan Greening to director - bringing building surveying, design and project management to the table - and with Chris’s expertise the services that Bennington Green can now offer are virtually unsurpassed."
