Gladman Developments strengthen Scottish office
Gladman Developments has strengthened the team in its Scottish office with the appointment of a new development manager.
Niall Burns joins Gladman Developments' Livingston office from the Edinburgh office of Lambert Smith Hampton, where he was associate director in the Business Space Team.
Mr Burns will work closely with office head and development manager Greg Limb and the other team members to identify and purchase sites for industrial and office developments, as well as for student residences and luxury retirement living.
The UK's largest developer of speculative industrial and office schemes, Gladman Developments already owns sites for office developments in Aberdeen, Livingston, Cumbernauld, Hillington and Berwick. It continues to market Scotland's largest speculative industrial development, MAX at J4M8, which it sold to a US real estate fund earlier this year.
"Scotland represents one of Gladman?s major growth areas within the UK market, and we are looking to acquire sites for new developments throughout the country, in towns with a population of more than 15,000. Niall's experience and contacts built up working across the East of Scotland will help us in this and I am delighted he has joined our growing team," says Mr Limb.
"We have significant funds available to invest in land across the whole of Scotland, if we can find the right opportunities. We always pay introduction fees for sites and retain the introducing agent to market the development for us."
Mr Burns has more than 11 years experience in commercial property. Prior to LSH, he worked for GVA Grimley. He lives in Peebles and is married.
Headquartered in Congleton in Cheshire, Gladman Developments has an annual turnover in excess of £200 million. It has more than four million sq ft of speculative industrial space in development or in the planning process and more than 1 million sq ft of speculative office accommodation under construction.
