Todd Arnison joins YEP Southampton committee

As of August 2019, Todd, Property Tax Surveyor, became a volunteer on the committee for the Young Entrepreneurs in Property (YEP) Southampton chapter.

From inception, YEP has existed to support ‘entrepreneurs, rising stars and future leaders’ in the industry. Boasting a fantastic diversity of membership, representing a near 50/50 gender balance; representing the breadth of property and construction, from development, investment and professional consultancy to construction and architecture.

YEP Global has been supporting young people in the property and construction industry for over two decades; with chapters across the UK and one in Dubai. YEP aims to provide the best opportunities to build relationships, learn new skills and share ideas across a wide variety of events. Across the country, YEP is active in Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Leeds, London, Manchester, Nottingham and Southampton.

Todd has been a member of YEP since joining E³ Consulting in 2017; initially attending London events. Since August 2018, the launch of the Southampton chapter, he has attended events at every available opportunity.

By joining the committee, Todd’s role comprises assisting in the organisation of local events aimed at engaging and developing all young professionals in the industry, new and existing members; including generation of ideas, strategic planning, attaining sponsorship and oversight for events. As well as communicating with internal and external stakeholders, marketing and supporting members.

“Having been involved with YEP for two years, building a network of contacts and relationships at various events and after being nominated for RICS Young Surveyor of the Year with another committee member, I had seen at first hand the benefits of the YEP community.

YEP gave me a platform at an early point in my role to begin to develop key relationships and discuss new ideas with like-minded professionals at a similar stage of their career – a safe environment to progress and learn. An opportunity that has helped me evolve more quickly, surrounding myself with knowledge and comparable experiences.

I knew when the opportunity became available to join the committee, it would be beneficial to my continued growth within my role and the industry; as well as adding to the on-going success of Young Entrepreneurs in property Southampton. ”
