Our employees are our most important asset so it’s vital that we are able to offer a wide range of learning opportunities to support your personal and professional development.

ELECTIVE TRAINING

Each year we run a programme of courses which are open to all LSH employees. These typically take place between the London, Birmingham and Manchester offices with courses running each month bar August. The courses are aimed at developing core business skills and cover topics such as presenting, business writing, networking and time management. All these courses can viewed on the training calendar available via the HR Pages on our intranet (Flash) or you can use CoreHR to search for and book onto a particular course.  

For any training needs not covered on the elective programme, employees, managers and teams are encouraged to speak to the HR team who can investigate setting up any niche or bespoke training requests.

TALENT

Each year we run accelerated learning programmes for our top performers as identified and nominated across the business by our managers. We currently run 3 talent streams each targeted at a different experience level.   

PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS AND STUDY SPONSORSHIP

Sponsorship may be available should you wish to study for any relevant professional qualifications. Subject to a learning agreement the company will either partially or fully sponsor your course fees. 

GRADUATE/APC TRAINING

Our graduate scheme offers a two-year programme of structured training and practical experience to prepare them for passing their Assessment of Professional Competence (APC) and qualifying as a Charted Surveyor with the RICS. The training is split into two years which focuses on developing professional skills in Year 1 and then technical knowledge in Year 2. Graduates in our larger offices will complete a rotation, providing them with practical experience in different service lines. Our APC pass rate is consistently well above the national average, making a LSH a great place to begin a career in surveying.

CONTINUAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (CPD)

In addition to training the company/offices organise CPD events from time to time and employees are encouraged to attend all relevant internal and external CPD events to ensure they are kept up to date with all the latest industry news and developments. Employees who are members of any professional body such as the RICS are required to complete so many hours of CPD per year. 

COMPLIANCE/HEALTH & SAFETY E-LEARNING

As a new employee you will be required to complete a series of mandatory online training modules within your first few weeks. These modules cover a wide range of compliance and health & safety related topics from fire safety to anti-money laundering.  When you start you will receive an email with your login details and a link to the MyTraining portal. We recommend you complete these as soon as possible before your diary starts to fill up. They are very straightforward to complete and require you to read through the text and then complete a short test at the end. Some of the modules require re-testing on either a 12 or 24 month cycle from your employment start date. You will receive email notifications each time you are required to complete a module and you must complete them within the allotted time. 

CEO

Ezra joined Lambert Smith Hampton in 2000 and has been the CEO since 2009. Having grown up in smaller, boutique firms (Pepper, Angliss & Yarwood and Grant& Partners) Ezra is very much an entrepreneur at heart.

He led the management buy-out of Lambert Smith Hampton from Atkins in 2007, as well asits subsequent sale to Countrywide plc in 2013.

Lambert Smith Hampton has grown impressively under Ezra’s commitment to giving clients personal service, and he’s committed to developing diversity in the wider team. In 2015 Ezra launched the inaugural Lambert Smith Hampton Enterprise Award and formed a partnership with Young Enterprise to encourage more progressive thinking and attract a more diverse pool of talent to the world of property.

COO

Massimo joined Lambert Smith Hampton in 2008 and was appointed COO in 2015. Having qualified as a chartered building surveyor in 1993, Massimo left the industry in 1994 to pursue a career in finance and M&A.

His combined financial and property experience has come in handy, with the purchase and assimilation of no less than four property companies since June 2013. Massimo champions our key acquisition objectives, and the need to keep refreshing a diverse portfolio of high calibre multi-skilled property professionals. It’s an ever-evolving challenge that suits Massimo’s relentless energy to leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of progress.
