Exciting times for Scotland's rural economy are prompting property specialists Savills to search for new talent to service the sector.
The international firm – which has eight offices in Scotland including in Inverness, Aberdeen, Perth and Brechin – is looking for new recruits for its Rural, Energy and Projects (REP) division.
Hugo Struthers, head of Savills REP said: “The Scottish rural sector is an exciting place to work right now and it has never been more relevant to the overall economy.
"Following a successful 12 months we have made some recent promotions and additions and are growing our teams further. These changes will help our rural clients capitalise on the many opportunities being created by the growth of natural capital, the expanding green economy and an increasingly diversified rural landscape.
"Despite the challenges of the pandemic, the pace shows no signs of slowing. We will continue to support our clients and grow our business further over the coming months.”
Recent promotions and appointments include Ewan Reid being named director of the Perth-based forestry team, working with clients from the central belt north, and director Anna Henderson returning from a national role based in London to join the forestry investment and valuation team.
Susan Dunbar, who oversees the financial accounts of clients’ rural businesses Scotland-wide, has been promoted to associate director.
Savills is now looking to make further appointments in the following areas: food & farming, forestry, energy, infrastructure projects, architecture and building surveying.
