Head of Rural Agency will seek to champion the case of both rural surveyors and women in the profession
Jennifer Campbell, Head of Rural Agency and an Associate at DM Hall, one of Scotland’s leading independent firms of Chartered Surveyors, has been appointed to the Scotland Board of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
Head of Rural Agency at DM Hall, a significant employer of Chartered Surveyors in Scotland, Cumbria and Cornwall founded in 1897, Jennifer is an accomplished Rural Surveyor with over 15 years’ industry experience, and acts also as land agent for several charities across the UK.
A member of Scottish Land and Estates, Women in Property and NFU Scotland, she is recognised throughout the sector as an insightful commentator on rural policy and market conditions, having authored a range of articles in The Scottish Farmer, Sunday Times Scotland and Farming Scotland.
She also advises on land acquisitions for the whisky and poultry industries with a team of valuers and advisors, who also act within the renewables sector.
Professor Norman McLennan, the RICS (Scotland) Board Chairman commented: “We are delighted to welcome Jennifer onto the Board to oversee rural, land and planning matters. Jennifer brings a wealth of rural and political experience which will complement the existing skills that we already have on the Board to represent all of the disciplines across the Surveying profession as well as the supporting our Scottish membership”
Jennifer said: “I am delighted to have been appointed to the Scotland Board of the RICS. My motivation to be a co-opted member of the board is that the rural sector is simply not represented sufficiently by RICS.
“I believe I bring extensive industry experience and much needed representation for the rural sector and women in property.
“We are in a rapid period of change with new legislation, taxation and heady transmission projects planned across Scotland. In addition, my interest in training and education coincides with a downturn in undergraduate applications for relevant courses which threatens the future of our profession in this country.
“I am keen to engage with universities, colleges and high schools and would be delighted to represent RICS and engage with the wider community on the huge personal benefits accruing from choosing a career in surveying.”
A first-class honours graduate of Heriot Watt University, Jennifer joined DM Hall in 2019 and qualified MRICS via its Senior Professional Route in 2022.
DM Hall managing Partner, John McHugh, said: “As a firm we heartily congratulate Jennifer on being co-opted onto the Scotland Board of RICS.
“This is an important role and I am certain that she will be a powerful and articulate advocate for both the rural property sector and increased female representation at the highest decision-making levels of our profession in Scotland.”
