Summary
As a head of department for Douglas and Gordon I could see the problems that we were having recruiting good quality staff into the sector. I was acting at the time on the finance committee of ARMA (Association of Residential Managing Agents). A number of volunteer ARMA committee members transferred to the education committee with the specific aim of developing a three part education for residential property managers. This resulted in government body approval and the launching of the IRPM (Institute of Residential Property Managers). I was a founding governor (one of six) and we were extremely proud of what we achieved which lasts through to today with the National Property Institute.
