  • They have two children. Emily, concluding her PhD at Aberdeen University and Chris working within the music industry after competing his degree in Leeds.
  • On 1st December 1987, Colin established Lamberts Chartered Surveyors. The firm grew into one of the top 100 UK firms of surveyors and one of the top ten firms nationwide for fees earned per surveyor. Our clients included banks, building societies and other lending institutions to provide a full range of professional services. Today the company continues to grow under the careful guidance of the directors who led the management buyout in 2005.
  • They launched Wentbridge Properties with the £15,000 purchase of a derelict building in Pontefract, Yorkshire. When the company was eventually absorbed within TLG, it had assets in excess of £1m with nil borrowing.
  • From 2001 they were instrumental in building Devon Sailing into one of the country's leading Royal Yachting Association sailing schools. Their work included the financing, developing, marketing and eventual sale of the company in 2008.
  • The continuing professional development courses (CPD) were developed during 2005 out of the extensive sailing programme and now include courses which look at the parallels between sailing and business.
  • The company still own a commercially coded sailing yacht (Frangi) which is used for CPD and Life Coaching programs. Both Colin & Kerry are qualified RYA Yachtmasters. Colin is also a Yachtmaster Ocean Instructor.
  • The life coaching programme was established in 2008 and since then have developed a range of services including; redundancy coaching, investment advice, career advice, stress management, public speaking and life skills.
