Lambert Smith Hampton, the commercial property consultancy, has appointed Craig Maguire as head of its Scotland operations as the firm gears up to double its size North of the Border.
Mr Maguire will oversee the Glasgow and Edinburgh offices of the firm as it expands existing service lines and introduces new offerings.
Mike Thatcher, national operations director at Lambert Smith Hampton, said: “We have considerable confidence about Scotland’s prospects and have set ourselves some challenging targets; Craig’s appointment demonstrates that we’re serious about our expansion at a time when there are many exciting new opportunities in Scotland.”
Mr Maguire has over 20 years industry experience, having worked in agency, development and capital markets in Scotland, Poland and Central and Eastern Europe. He joins from DTZ, where he was a senior director in the capital markets team in Warsaw. Prior to that, he was managing director of Point Park Properties – a Merrill Lynch-Arcapita fund - where he led the acquisition, development, funding and leasing of over 1.5million sq ft of industrial and logistics space.
Mr Maguire commented: “We see significant potential in growing our offer to clients in Scotland and we will invest to realise these opportunities.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
