Gerald Forshaw
Apprentice Surveyor
Embarking on my journey into the surveying profession in 2024 through the Harper Adams Rural Enterprise and Land Management Degree Apprenticeship, I have already gained a wealth of practical experience during my first year at Wignalls Chartered Surveyors.
My work has encompassed a diverse range of responsibilities, including property agency, market appraisals, compensation claims, and a range of planning applications. This hands-on exposure has provided me with a strong foundation in both the technical and client-facing aspects of the profession.
Beyond the office, I remain deeply connected to my roots, assisting on the family farm where I can often be found cutting lettuce and contributing to the day-to-day operations. I am also passionate about rugby both as a player and as a coach for the Tarleton U7’s team, where I enjoy fostering teamwork and discipline in the next generation. In my spare time, I stay active through regular training at the gym, exploring mountain peaks, and unwinding with friends while watching the UFC.
