I applied for the PRUPIM Graduate Programme after spending three years at Oxford Brookes University studying Real Estate Management, a RICS accredited undergraduate course.

Gerald Bishop - Graduate Surveyor

In my first placement at PRUPIM I am working in the Asset Management Team on a portfolio of industrial properties in the UK. This involves dealing with both leasing and property management matters such as new lettings, rent reviews and tenant applications for alterations or subletting. The support provided for the APC is excellent as there is a solid structure in place and a wealth of experienced people within the company.

I have a master’s degree from Cass Business School in Property Valuation and Law which I completed part-time whilst working at PRUPIM. I then applied for their Graduate Scheme as I already knew that the company has a great working environment and a fantastic attitude towards training and development. PRUPIM’s holistic approach to property investment management ensures there is ample opportunity to gain relevant experience for the APC whilst working on a variety of quality schemes.

James Shipton - Development Manager

Having completed the graduate scheme, I qualified as a Chartered Surveyor in autumn 2007 and now work on the Development Team, where my role is Development Manager.  I am responsible for co-ordinating the instigation, investigation and assessment of development opportunities to maximise investment returns.  Once a proposed scheme is approved I am responsible for working with the project team to implement and deliver the project.
 
The business structure at PRUPIM is uniquely integrated, offering a package of Fund Management, Asset Management and Property Management services.  As a graduate I had exposure to all areas of the business and developed an holistic understanding of not only how the business operates, but how property as an asset class functions.  PRUPIM has provided excellent training and preparation for the APC, with full support available throughout the process and beyond, balanced with a beneficially high level of individual responsibility.

After qualifying as a Chartered Surveyor in 2007, I am currently working in the Fund Management Team at PRUPIM. My responsibilities include acquiring and disposing of assets on behalf of PRUPIM's client funds and liaising with PRUPIM's Asset Management and Development teams on various asset initiatives.

I have a degree in Real Estate Management (Sandwich Course) from Kingston University.
