Ruth Garbe

Office Manager

Ruth mainly works in the office sorting out all the administration for the business. Her background in running her own business has meant she can adapt her skills and knowledge to ensure the smooth running of the office and book keeping. Her interest in surveying and the outdoors has meant she occasionally helps out assisting the land surveyor on site trips and she is more than happy to get out the office especially on a nice day! Ruth has spent long weeks away on site in the past, working on the Ordnance Survey rural map revision programme for the field verifications.
