Countrywide Surveying Services (CSS) has announced the appointment of Ashley Miskin as surveyor development manager.

This new role will focus on increasing Countrywide’s complement of surveying professionals through the exploration of a wider recruitment pool in a bid to attract both new and existing surveying talent.

Miskin (pictured) started his career in surveying recruitment in early 2000 after working for a London-based estate agency. After occupying roles at Hays and Capita, he started his own recruitment practice working with a variety of corporates and independent surveying firms, including Countrywide Surveying Services. This relationship paved the way for Ashley to join Countrywide full time.

Rebecca Freeman, director of field operations at Countrywide Surveying Services, said: “We are delighted that Ashley has agreed to join Countrywide Surveying Services. He brings with him a wealth of experience; a new perspective and he has already established the highest of reputations across the profession. This is an appointment which will take our recruitment process to the next level.”

Miskin added: “I have worked closely with Countrywide Surveying Services for many years and formed close ties with the senior management team over this time. It’s a hugely exciting time for the company and the creation of such an innovative new position really demonstrates just how committed it is to bringing ‘best in class’ talent into this sector and driving it forward.”
