In this inspiring episode of Surveying The Future, host David Reynolds sits down with John Woodman—Past Master of the Worshipful Company of Chartered Surveyors and Chairman of Hollis—for a powerful conversation about leadership, legacy and resilience in the face of profound personal challenge. From his early days in surveying to guiding Hollis through industry transformation, John reflects on four decades of leadership within the built environment. But this episode goes deeper than a career retrospective. Following a diagnosis of Stage 4 glioblastoma, John has responded with extraordinary courage and taken on a mad and very tough challenge: skinning up and skiing down the equivalent of the 8848m height of Mount Everest over four days in the Alps to raise awareness and funds for brain cancer research.
