About RPS Group
About RPS Group: One Foundation, Many Capabilities
How the Group is structured, and the idea that connects every division back to a single identity.
One identity, many capabilities
RPS Group brings together a diversified set of business capabilities under one shared identity. Like the tree at the heart of our brand, our foundation is built to support steady, sustainable growth rather than short-term gain.
The Group is organized around a simple idea: a single, trusted foundation can support many different kinds of work. Each division operates with its own focus and expertise, while sharing the same commitment to reliability, quality, and long-term thinking.
Foundation
Roots
Before any division takes shape, the foundation comes first — the values, governance, and long-term vision that everything else is built on. This is the part of the organization that changes the least and matters the most.
RPS Group
Trunk
RPS Group is the shared identity that every division carries forward. It is the point where individual businesses connect back to a common set of standards, resources, and purpose.
Business verticals
Branches
Four distinct divisions extend from the same foundation — Offshore Surveys, Real Estate, Engineering & Technology, and Event Management & Rentals — each with its own focus, contributing to the Group’s long-term growth.
Our Founders
The tree at the centre of our story
Raj Michael is like the tree at the centre of our story. His early years were the roots: grounded in responsibility, shaped by humble beginnings, and strengthened by the need to support his family. From a driver’s seat to a seat at the table, from driving a Volvo to owning the keys, he built his path through determination, perseverance, and years of hard work.
Throughout this journey, his wife, Victoria, the visionary behind RPS, remained a constant pillar of strength. Together, they formed the roots and trunk of a family enterprise built on resilience.
Today, their sons and grandsons lead RPS, a diversified enterprise with interests in real estate, oil and gas, and events — pursuing new possibilities while upholding the enduring values that shaped its foundation.
Leadership
The people behind the Group
The Group is small and directly run — the people below are the people you deal with.
Raj Venkadesan
Director
RPS Group is small enough that the people who make the commitments are the people answerable for them. As a Director, Raj Venkadesan works on that side of the business: agreeing what can realistically be done, and then seeing that it is done.
The approach across every division is the same — be straight about what is possible before anything begins, and let the work be judged on whether it matched.
Deva Harish Hudson
CEO
Deva Harish Hudson leads RPS Group as Chief Executive, carrying forward a business his family built and setting the direction for where it goes next.
The intent is continuity rather than reinvention — grow deliberately, take on work the Group can stand behind, and keep the directness that comes from being answerable to the people you deal with.
