Bhavesh was nominated by Mark McGinty, Deputy Head of Building Control at Hertfordshire LABC. Mark said in his nomination: “On joining Hertfordshire Building Control, Bhavesh had very little knowledge of the technicalities of building control.
"What he did have in spades was a burning desire to learn and a passion for leading the building compliance process.
"He has demonstrated his desire to learn by pairing up with more experienced surveyors, attending CPD events and putting the hard yards in to study the Regulations and potential solutions to technical issues.
"This hard work has paid off such, that very quickly he has become a useful member of the team, able to be trusted to deal with customers with little supervision…..He is hard working, energetic, and enthusiastic and an inspiration to others in what can be achieved in a short space of time. He is also self-effacing and modest, unafraid to ask for advice and I feel that it is this attribute above all that will ensure his success in his chosen profession.”
