Property consultancy Ryden has strengthened its senior teams with a number of new appointments in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen.

Susan Cameron and David Lindsay have been appointed as Partners at the firm's Edinburgh office, while Gregor Harvie and Tim Jacobsen have taken up similar positions in Glasgow. In addition, Michael Lorimer has been made a Partner in Aberdeen.

Elsewhere, David Moore and Rachel Naylor have both been named as Associates in Edinburgh and Aberdeen respectively.

The promotions are part of Ryden's continuing plan for growth, with niche Scottish planning consultancy practice Muir Smith Evans merging with the firm at the close of 2017 to create a market-leading planning and consultancy team.


And with a third English office opened in Manchester last summer, today's announcement brings the total number of new Partners appointed in the past year to 10, with a total of 43 Partners across its six offices in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, London and Manchester.

Ryden has also restructured management within its Glasgow office with Ewan Cameron stepping down as Regional Managing Partner to be succeeded by Derek Tillery, who also heads the firms Property Management division.

Bill Duguid, Ryden Managing Partner, said: "These promotions have come from both transactional and non-transactional teams, and are part of our succession planning and investment in Ryden's future. Many of these individuals have been with us for over a decade, some starting at junior levels. We pride ourselves on offering our people a good career path and recognising the dedication they put into offering clients outstanding service levels.

"It also follows what initial (pre audit) year end figures would suggest has been a very good one for the business with turnover up by around 15% overall and over 25% in England, a remarkable achievement given the uncertainties prevailing in many of the markets we operate within and ahead of our own business plan targets."
