This latest episode of Bricks & Mortar sees EG’s Sarah Jackman catch up with Davies Jiva, a consultant at property regeneration firm AspinallVerdi.

The pair discuss his early experiences of the real estate sector in Malawi, his studies – which eventually brought him to the UK – and how he’s finding the APC pathway.

He highlights the benefits that come with RICS qualification, not least its international recognition. And as ever on Bricks & Mortar, there are words of encouragement for those looking to explore a career in the sector: “Nothing is impossible as long as you remain resilient… and focused with your aspirations”.
