Our Story
Building connection, visibility, and pride in surveying
Surveyors UK was born from a simple idea with a powerful purpose — to bring the profession together.
In 2021, founder Nina Young – a business professional, surveying student, and marketing strategist for the industry – created the Student Surveyor Group on Facebook. It was meant to be a small, supportive space where students could ask questions, find mentors, and get honest answers from qualified surveyors.
What happened next revealed something much bigger. Within a short space of time, the group grew rapidly and became a place of support for thousands of aspiring professionals. Conversations flourished, mentors were found and it was proof that surveyors at every level were craving connection, community, and recognition.
But there was still no independent home for the whole profession. No single place that unites all types of surveying. No space where students, chartered professionals, and business owners could connect freely off social media, without barriers or bias.
That’s why Surveyors UK was created.
At its heart is The Surveying Room, our free, independent community built with and for surveyors. It’s a safe, professional space to connect, collaborate, learn, and grow together — free from algorithms and distractions. A place where every type of surveyor belongs.
Today, Surveyors UK continues to expand that mission connecting, promoting, and elevating the profession through news, learning, opportunities, and partnership.
Because surveying matters and so do the people behind it.
Our Mission
Connecting, empowering, and elevating the surveying profession
Our mission is to unite a fragmented profession and celebrate the people who shape it.
We’re here to empower surveyors, encourage cross-industry collaboration, and build bridges between specialisms, organisations, and generations. By breaking down silos, we make it easier for ideas to flow, opportunities to grow, and the profession to thrive.
We’re also passionate about inspiring the next generation showcasing surveying as a vital, forward-thinking career that underpins everything from housing and infrastructure to sustainability and innovation.
Our goal is simple: to create a truly inclusive space where every surveyor regardless of background, specialism, or career stage feels seen, supported, and connected.
Together, we’re shaping the future of surveying.
A place for everyone
