Scotland-headquartered agent Ryden has promoted head of agency and development Alan Gilkison to managing partner.
Gilkison (pictured), who replaces Mark Robertson, has been at Ryden for 28 years and specialises in industrial and the land market.
Robertson will return full-time to client-facing work as research and consultancy partner and will focus on urban expansions, city centre regeneration, manufacturing and public policy.
Gilkison said: “Mark has led Ryden during an unprecedented period of uncertainty caused by the pandemic and market volatility and has kept us in a strong position by retaining our specialist teams and enhancing client services through technology.”
He added that under his management the firm would focus on retaining existing talent and the delivery of future growth.
“We love what we do and that enthusiasm translates into getting deals done and supporting our clients across their land and property interests,” said Gilkison. “I will also maintain Ryden’s commitment to act ethically, contribute positively to our communities and lessen our impact on the environment.”
