New Appointment to Board of Directors
Terrain Surveys are delighted to announce the news that Nicholas Metivier has joined the Board of Directors as our new Director of Operations
Nick’s responsibilities are for the day-to-day operations of the business, demonstrating strong leadership, operational insight, and a commitment to quality. These are at the very core of the service we deliver for our valued clients.
Director Graham King who himself worked his way up through the company and was appointed to the board of directors back in 2019 has known Nick since his very first day at Terrain
“18 years ago when he joined as a trainee at just 20 years old. With no experience but an unmistakable drive and a great attitude, he quickly made an impression. I still remember one of the very first surveys he assisted me with, deep in the countryside and knee-deep in brambles. With characteristic enthusiasm, Nic volunteered to get the survey points – only to end up tangled in thorns and stuck in the undergrowth. It was a funny moment that said a lot about his willingness to throw himself into the job (sometimes literally).”
Graham recalls that Nick has always had the drive and ambition to drive Terrain Surveys on to bigger and better things
“we can’t forget the time a young and ambitious Nic confidently told our then-Director that he could run the business himself. Well, Nic – now’s your chance!”
Nick is delighted with the promotion and what it means for the future of Terrain Surveys:
“My time at Terrain has now passed 18 years, and I have achieved my goal of joining the board of Directors. I have enjoyed every minute of it, the highs and the lows. I Started out as a blue eyed boy with only a vague idea of what surveying was. It’s testament to the company and the training they provide that I am now where I am. Opportunities have never been blocked, and are still always open for anyone in the team that has the drive and determination to succeed.
The future is bright for Terrain Surveys and I am excited to help drive our success and growth within the survey industry. There were only 6 people in the team on my first day of which 5 of us are still here which tells its own story about the company. I would like to thank Colin, John, Neil & Graham for their trust and encouragement throughout my time at Terrain, they are a big part of the reason I am here and hope to be for many years to come!”
At Terrain Surveys our ongoing mission to be the survey company of choice throughout the UK. Driven by our amazing team we promise to always operate with integrity and honesty and most of all a commitment to excellence.
Nick embodies this mission and we look forward to the next exciting chapter for Terrain Surveys.
