Michael brings with him a breath of knowledge and experience in the Scottish property market and will work in partnership with Graeme McGartland, Partner at Knight Frank in Glasgow, to provide a professional valuation service to clients across Scotland.

During his career he has handled a number of high profile valuations and worked with many influential clients, including major banks such as Royal Bank of Scotland, Bank of Scotland, Nationwide, Bank of Ireland and Ulster Bank. Michael's experience in the provision of loan security advice is principally in the commercial sector, including the valuation of many major shopping centres in Scotland including the Kingsgate Centre in Dunfermline and the Mercat Centre, Kirkcaldy.

Michael's new role at Knight Frank will comprise a mixture of the portfolio valuation of a variety of London based funds and property companies and will include a remit to increase the Company's client base by sourcing new business opportunities across Scotland. His role will also see him work closely with the Investment team in Edinburgh to offer an integrated service to clients.
