PMP, the Edinburgh-based building surveying and project management firm, has brought new director Stewart Rutherford on board as it looks to double its turnover over the next three years.
The firm, currently working on some major property developments in Glasgow and Edinburgh, booked revenue of £1 million in its last financial year. It was first time it had reached the figure since the recession of 2008 and 2009.
Mr Rutherford joins PMP after a near 13-year spell with Trident Building Consultancy, where he was a director in its Edinburgh office, and arrives with PMP having doubled in size in the last two years.
John Dunn, managing director of PMP, said: “Stewart’s appointment comes at a time when we focus our efforts on growing the business to double the size in the next three years. We have been fortunate to have experienced some very strong business conditions in recent years and have won a number of major projects. We continue to see a number of good opportunities ahead and we will be working together across our business to capitalise on these while launching a number of new service lines to diversify our offering.
“Stewart will be leading the growth of the Edinburgh office with a plan to grow our team with a further three or four full time appointments in the next twelve months.”
PMP is currently working on the £5 million redevelopment of the former Glasgow City Council Building at 112 Ingram Street, as well as Blenheim Place in Edinburgh for Chris Stewart Group, which is being turned into 36,000 square feet of prime office space. “The opportunity at PMP is very attractive as we have agreed a firm and exciting plan to develop and grow the business over the next three years,” said Mr Rutherford. “I’m delighted to be joining the team and look forward to delivering results”.
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
