  • Large scale topographic surveys for school and clinic upgrades
  • Land reform surveys
  • Rural settlement and rural housing projects
  • Setting out and monitoring for construction projects

  • Cadastral projects including large and small residential developments, beacon relocations and certificates of identity, and subdivisions of the national road network

Colin is a former President, and current Board Member of the Rotary Club of Gately, and actively involved in the Find Your Voice leadership program run by the club.

He is also chairman of the Middlecourt Trust which has developed most of the Lilyfontein School campus. Lilyfontein is renowned for its adventure-based curriculum and development of young leaders. 

Colin’s great love is seeing people flourish. This may be why he is also a professional speaker and executive coach. And, when he is not working, you will most likely find Colin in his kitchen, cooking up a storm with a glass of wine close at hand.
