Ken Cribbin FSCS FRICS

The Society of Chartered Surveyors’ President for 2009/2010, Ken Cribbin, is a quantity surveyor who graduated from Bolton Street in 1989 and became a Chartered Surveyor in 1991. In 2005, he became a Fellow of the Society. He has served the members in various capacities, including as Chairman of the YCS in 1995; as Chairman of the Quantity Surveyors from 2005 to 2007; and on the Council over many years.

Ken joined Brendan Merry and Partners in 1987, becoming an Associate in 1993 and progressing to company director in 1995. He cites Brendan Merry as a mentor and friend and said Brendan’s recent passing was a major loss both personally and professionally. “Brendan encouraged participation in the Society by everyone in the company and served as President himself in 1981,” says Ken. Brendan had established the practice in 1968 and there are now four directors: Ken, Fintan Bennett, Michael Mulryan, and Damien Morgan. The company provides project management and quantity surveying services to public and private clients and Ken specialises in the healthcare and education sectors. He is married to Carol and they live in Howth with their four children: Niamh (13), Sean (10), Aoife (6) and Conor (5).

On the unique demands of holding down a job, having a young family and being President, Ken says: “I will be relying on the support of my fellow directors in work, and of my wife and family at home, but I am proud to serve the members and honoured to hold the office of President of the SCS.”
