APS Chartered Surveyors   mTT is a well run, professional company who take immense pride in their standard of work.

OUR ENVIRONMENT

The building sector is responsible for more than a third of global resource consumption annually, including 12% of all fresh water use. It also produces 40% of solid waste, so we work towards minimising the environmental impact of our designs and our business activities.

Since 2001, the number of urban areas with population greater than 5 million has increased by 50%, which puts a greater strain on the environment. With urban areas developing so much, our focus has to shift towards designing cities that are more sustainable.  How can this be achieved? By finding solutions which consume less energy, produce less waste, and work in harmony with the surrounding ecological systems.

We aim to achieve this by promoting commercially viable and considered sustainable design, whilst improving building quality for owners and occupants.

Our plan for 2012 and beyond

2012 is an exciting year to be in London - all eyes are on us not only because of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, but also because London is the First Summer Host city to incorporate sustainability in its organisation of the Games. We find this initiative inspiring, and we plan to inspire others through our actions.

Along with our long-term commitment to sustainable design of our buildings, this year we want to become more actively involved in events taking place in London and around the world. We have found the World Environment Day and the Earth Day particular relevant to our cause. We are planning to use these two major events as platforms for sharing our knowledge of sustainable design, hoping that our input will have a major influence on our clients, the industry as a whole, and maybe even the world.

OUR PEOPLE

We dislike the idea of running mTT like a ‘soulless corporation’ and making our employees feel like they are disposable – we want them to feel secure and appreciated in their jobs; after all, they are our most crucial asset.

Part of our strategy for a successful business is to recruit and train only the best people in the industry, and we look for people who, not only do a great job, but who are also passionate and wish to make a difference in the world.

We are an equal-opportunity employer and can easily recognise talent, which means that we will always employ the best person for the job, regardless of their age, gender, nationality or disability.  Part of our commitment is to create internships for students and school leavers; We have done this in the past and we found that it is not only beneficial to the students (who got the chance to experience how the industry works and what skills they needed to develop in order to get a job), but also to our employees, because they had the chance to act as teachers and mentors.

How do we keep our team happy?

As we expand, we plan to become even better at listening to what our team needs and create even more training and development opportunities.

OUR COMMUNITY

Charity work is very important for us at mTT; we recognise that we are in a privileged position to be able to help others and see it as a very important part of giving back to the community.

We have been active supporters of Small Steps School for Parents, a charity based in South London aimed at helping parents to care for their own children who have cerebral palsy or other form of motor or sensory impairment.

Small Steps is funded exclusively by charitable donation. It receives no Government support and has to raise £250,000 each year to be able to operate.

For the last 6 years, we have been running ultra-marathons, organising charity balls and generally spreading the word in order to help them raise the much needed funds.

Our plan for 2012

In 2012, we plan to raise more funds by running ultra-marathons in Jordan, Greece, Spain and the UK.
