Mission Statement G A Farrell & Associates Limited will be consistently client focused in the provision of objective, independent opinions on which our clients can rely in making their financial decisions. Our team is committed to the highest level of professional conduct and uncompromising integrity. Introduction:G.A. Farrell & Associates Limited is a leading firm of Chartered Valuation Surveyors who specialize in the valuation of properties in Trinidad and Tobago. In 1976 Gordon Farrell, FRICS, retired from his career as the Director of Surveys, Land and Surveys Department. With over 30 years invaluable experience, he established G. A. Farrell & Associates Limited. Since then the company has grown to become one of the foremost firms of valuation surveyors in Trinidad and Tobago. The founding partner, Gordon Farrell, was joined in 1998 by two other partners, Mark Farrell and Derek de Gannes. They trained abroad in the USA and UK respectively and on their return to Trinidad they brought with them a wealth of international experience, each having worked abroad for over 10 years. In order to maintain its high level of professionalism and its contact with the international market, the firm has a policy of Continuing Professional Education. Its professional staff are required to complete at least 15 hours per year. Courses are attended mainly abroad and by correspondence. Some local seminars have also proved to be useful. G. A. Farrell & Associates Limited has grown from a small family practice to a large professional firm and maintains a high ratio of professional staff to administrative staff. It now has offices in Port of Spain (Ariapita Avenue), San Fernando (Harris Street) and Tobago (NIB Mall). Its Quantity Surveying consultant is Mr. Clifford Murray (MRICS) and its overseas associates are JRH Appraisals, Miami, Florida, USA.
