COLLEAGUES, clients and fellow professionals gathered in the Guildhall in Salisbury earlier this month to mark the retirement of chartered surveyor and auctioneer Roger Trubshaw.

Mr Trubshaw, who most recently was a consultant with Symonds & Sampson in Salisbury, notched up 48 years in the profession.

Valuing and auctioning property, livestock and farm machinery and implements were all in a day’s work for Mr Trubshaw, who also served on a number of professional bodies.

He came to Salisbury from Warwickshire in 1959, having taken his final professional exams and completed his national service.

He joined auctioneers and estate agents Woolley & Wallis as an assistant to the late Major Woolley and, later, his son, Peter Woolley.

Since then, he has practised as a chartered surveyor and auctioneer in Wiltshire, Hampshire and Dorset. Salisbury Journal
