Following 12 years of working in the public sector, Richard co-founded Milestone Certifiers and has been a Director of the company for the last 16 years.

As an AIBS Committee member, he has been engaging with various stakeholders, including regulatory authorities, to ensure that building surveyors are appropriately represented and accounted for in the recent legislative reform packages proposed by the WA State Government.
