Non-Executive Director
Michael John Richardson
FRICS
(Quantities)
I have over 50 years industry experience, working for a number of practices during the 1950's and 1960's specialising in housing, and bank & office developments. During this period, I worked with the John Lewis Partnership on the development of their stores and the expanding Waitrose supermarket brand. My clients elsewhere included National Westminster Bank and Boots the chemist.
In the 1970s, I began to work in the public sector working overseas as a Quantity Surveyor on government projects. By the end of the decade, I was working for the Ministry of Defence as a Civil Service Quantity Surveyor on Cruise Missile and Aircraft Shelter sites.
I continued my public sector work, overseas, during the 1980's, eventually becoming the Cheif Government Quantity Surveyor for the Government of Botswana.
A fellow of the RICS, I returned to the UK in the later half of the 1980's working as a Senior Quantity Surveyor mainly on Hospitals and City Centre Development and then as a Financial Controller, Facilities Manager and Projects Manager for the Natural History Museum.
After formally retiring in 1998, I continued nonethless to be involved in the industry, as a free-lance project manager for Hackney Council transferring local authority properties to Housing Associations, working on Embassy work for a practice in Harrow and, more recently, as a
Citizens Advice Bureau voluntary adviser specializing in Building and Property advice.

SERVICE AND OPERATIONS MANAGER
Jason Karim
MA MBA
Jason's background demonstrates academic
excellence and a working knowledge of the
insides of a business, the pressures on a
growing a business and developing rigid systems,
policies & procedures which will enable the
business to flourish. Jason is our Quality
Manager for the purposes of ISO9000. Over and
above the ISO9000 requirements he tracks items
that he or senior management earmark for
tracking; such items may be issues that require
a cross team response, are viewed to test new
processes or are the first signs of customer
discomfort. Jason is proud that we rarely, if
ever, have to refer to our official RICS
Complaints procedure as tracking sensitive
matters before they become an issue surely is
the best way.
Probably the most important task to the Estates
Division is new site set up and Jason tracks our
21 point set up process to completion, at times
advising Clients how we can overcome the lack of
information.
Key responsibilities within Ringley:
- Seamless Integration of new clients

Nusrat Ibad
BSC MAAT
Nusrat Ibad joined Ringley in 2008 in a new role of Internal Audit. Nusrat is well placed to do so with a Masters in Statistics, MAAT qualifications and having trained in volume transactional accounting disciplines. Nusrat understands process, procedure, policing and implementation. She has extensive experience in quality assurance and data verification.
Quite deliberately the Finance Team does not report to Nusrat as her role is to coach and mentor them, develop their skills and literally audit the work of the department monthly. In any large transactional processing environment the skill is to watch the numbers and ensure that the cycle of events is always resourced to be up to date and to check that FSA, RICS and ARMA compliance standards are exceeded.
Key responsibilities within Ringley:
- Coaching & mentoring of Finance personnel
- Internal Audit
- Group accounts & group audit
- Transactional risk management
- Process review & compliance
