THE Scotland division of Bidwells property consultancy has seen fee growth of more than 12 per cent in the year to December 2016.

The division, which has offices in Perth, Aberdeen, Inverness and Fort William, highlighted estate management, client accounting, planning and forestry as key growth sectors.

Scotland managing partner Finlay Clark said the growth reflected the firm’s ability to offer clients “knowledge of, and access to, some of the most interesting land and property markets with the highest growth potential in the UK”.

He commended staff for “working hard to bring us into 2017 in a very healthy position.”
