Professionalism
Introduction
to FB’s writings on Professionalism
Francis Bennion's connection
with professionalism began in 1965 when he was appointed
Secretary (now called Chief Executive) of the Royal
Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), the leading
professional body in the field of surveying, land
agency and estate agency. Finding there was in progress
a general attack on the ideals of professionalism
he wrote a number of articles defending them, and
also the book Professional Ethics: the Consultant
Professions and their Code. As Secretary of
the RICS he took a leading role in seeking to obtain
statutory registration of estate agents and was
a member of the short-lived Estates Agents Council
and a governor of the College of Estate Management.
In 1969 he founded a charitable housing trust (the
World of Property Housing Trust) which obtained
donations from leading figures in the property world.
Through amalgamation, this is now subsumed in the
Sanctuary Housing Association. In 1970 he helped
to found the non-strike Professional Association
of Teachers, and was its first national chairman.
