Meet the Team

Richard Mounsey Managing Director

I founded Mounsey Chartered Surveyors in 2010 because I knew there was a better way. We change perceptions and lead the way for higher standards across the surveying profession.

We’re ambitious and future-focussed, tenacious and proactive. And our mission is to expertly advise clients, adding the highest possible value to their properties and investments. The whole team here at MCS is committed to the high standards of work we do. And we don’t forget the laughs. The newly-refurbished office sparks a great atmosphere and helps the team to work together.

Outside of work, I enjoy regular ski trips in the winter months and help to manage a grassroots rugby team.

Tom Johnson Director B.Sc (Hons) Real Estate Management, MRICS, RICS Registered Valuer

I’ve been a part of Mounsey Chartered Surveyors since 2011 when I joined on a work experience basis. This quickly progressed to Graduate Surveyor and I became a Director in 2017.

Working within a general practice business, no two days are the same. Whilst a lot of my time is spent undertaking commercial valuations, I am actively involved in Commercial Agency matters as well as advising clients on Landlord and Tenant instructions.

Outside of work, I’m the owner of a Miniature Dachshund called Arlo (the boss of the house!) who I enjoy walking with my family. I’m also a long-suffering Stoke City season ticket holder and I help to run a grassroots football team.

Carl Baker Associate Director, Residential Surveyor B.Sc Valuation Surveying, MRICS, RICS Registered Valuer

I’ve been in the property industry for over 30 years and joined the business in 2016 as Associate Director and Residential Surveyor.

I undertake valuations of residential properties in Staffordshire and South Cheshire on behalf of private individuals and lenders. Working in this sector, no two days are the same.

Football has always been a hobby of mine – I support Stoke City and watch my son play in my spare time. I haven’t officially retired from playing and still play for a veteran’s team!

Rob Stevenson Director BA (Hons), B.Sc (Hons), MRICS

As a Director here at Mounsey Chartered Surveyors, my principal role is to oversee the smooth running of the Commercial Agency department which involves the sale or letting of all property types. Our client base, which ranges from investment funds, to private investors, to owner occupiers, continues to grow which ensures a varied and interesting workload.

At the weekends, I visit one of the many golf courses in the Staffordshire area or visit the county’s favourite attractions with my family.

Emily Mounsey Company Secretary

I’ve worked with Mounsey Chartered Surveyors since the doors first opened in 2010. I began managing the accounts alongside my physiotherapy job and then started to work at MCS full time around 7 years ago.

It was a sharp learning curve, but with valuable training and support from the team, I now manage all of the company accounts and get involved with HR.

Having lived outside of the city all my life, I love the countryside, taking our 2 dogs for walks and gardening. As a family, we love hitting the slopes and always have a holiday booked to look forward to.

Becky Thomas Senior Surveyor B.Sc (Hons) Real Estate, MRICS

After gaining 15 years’ experience within the Commercial Property sector, I joined the Commercial Agency team at Mounsey Chartered Surveyors in April 2023.

Specialising in the disposal and acquisition of a range of commercial property and land in Staffordshire and Cheshire, I apply my expertise to provide lease advice and negotiations between landlords and tenants.

I’ve found the MCS office a fantastic environment to work in and received a warm welcome into the team since day one.

James Craine Senior Chartered Surveyor B.Sc (Hons) Real Estate Management, MRICS, RICS Registered Valuer

After successfully securing a placement year as a graduate in 2017, I’m now a Chartered Surveyor at Mounsey Chartered Surveyors and principally work in the Commercial Agency and Landlord and Tenant departments.

I’m a genuine gym-goer (unlike Caine!), an armchair Manchester United supporter and an enthusiastic player of Fantasy Football. On quieter weekends I watch The Office US back-to-back – which can lead to excessive quoting and slight irritation in the office!

Caine Savage Chartered Surveyor B.Sc (Hons), RICS Registered Surveyor

I’m a Chartered Surveyor and RICS Registered Valuer with over seven years’ experience in the commercial property sector. I specialise in agency and property management, while also having experience in landlord & tenant matters and commercial valuation.

Outside of work, I enjoy supporting my local football club, Abbey Hulton United FC, where I also serve on the committee board.

Janet Milward Property Management Administrator and Office Manager Office Manager

I’ve been a part of Mounsey Chartered Surveyors since the doors opened in 2010, having worked alongside Richard Mounsey at two other practices.

Starting off in Commercial Agency, I’ve dipped my toe into every aspect of the business and now help to manage the office alongside work within our Residential Survey and Valuation department.

The team really is the heart of MCS, it feels like working with your best friends everyday. It’s been a pleasure to watch us grow to a team of 14 over the past decade, and I’m looking forward to many more years of success.

Sharon Williams Property Management – Accounts Supervisor

I joined the Property Management department at Mounsey Chartered Surveyors in 2019. I am actively involved in the financial administration of our client’s portfolios, including the collection of rents and service charges, as well as ensuring key dates relating to the asset management of properties are communicated to our surveyors.

I’m proud to be a part of the continuous success of the business, including the ongoing growth of our team.

In my spare time, I enjoy socialising with friends and family, walking, reading and gardening.

Tom Tunnicliff Chartered Surveyor BA (Hons), MSc, RICS Registered Surveyor

I joined the team at Mounsey Chartered Surveyors in 2022. After quickly settling into the business, I am currently rotating between departments whilst I work towards achieving chartered status.

My current role within the Commercial Property Management department involves being the point of contact for tenants, organising contractors for planned and reactive maintenance as well as administering service charge budgets.

My adrenaline-fueled weekends include motocross racing, mountain biking and watching Manchester United.

Clare Lawley Head of Property Management Accounts AAT Professional Qualification, CIM Member

I joined Mounsey Chartered Surveyors in its infancy in 2015 to look after the financial administration side of our Commercial Property Management department.

The department has enjoyed year-on-year growth since then, with our client base growing from 2 to 25 and number of tenancies under management from 4 to 200! These numbers are only set to grow in the foreseeable future.

In the winter months, I’ve always got a skiing trip planned to Austria or the French Alps for some much-needed adventure.

Eva Peake Property Management – Accounts Coordinator

Following a year studying Business at college, I decided I wanted to learn whilst working as part of an apprenticeship scheme.

With the support of Mounsey Chartered Surveyors, I’m currently working towards my Level 3 NVQ in Business Administration, assisting with customer queries, issuing invoices, admin duties and much more. I’m really excited to be starting my career at such an ambitious company surrounded by a friendly team.

In my free time, I’m a keen actor and have been part of an amateur dramatics group for the last 5 years performing in several pantomimes, musicals and concerts.

Harry Mounsey Apprentice Surveyor

With the support of Mounsey Chartered Surveyors, I’m currently working towards my Real Estate Development and Management Degree Apprenticeship at Salford University.

Focusing on Commercial Agency and Property Management, I’ll be working alongside the team to gain valuable industry experience and understand what it means to be a Chartered Surveyor. I’m really excited to be working with such a friendly team in a fun, ambitious environment.

In my free time, I play rugby and golf on the weekends and pickleball with the Mounsey team twice a week. In the winter, I love skiing trips with my family.

Shall we get started?
