DTZ has announced that Stuart Dorward has been appointed as Business Manager for Scotland with immediate effect.
Mr Dorward (pictured) will assume overall responsibility for DTZ’s Glasgow and Edinburgh offices, which serve the real estate services company’s Scottish regional business and its global clients active in the region.
He replaces James Thomson in the role, who will remain in the leading role at DTZ’s Edinburgh office focusing on agency, development and consultancy work in east Scotland’s booming office market.
Mr Thomson says; “After nine years in the role, it is with great confidence that I pass the baton to Stuart, who will continue the work of growing DTZ’s business in Scotland.
“I will take the opportunity to refocus on our Edinburgh business and the burgeoning opportunities in the office market. This is an exciting time for DTZ’s business in Scotland, and I will work hard to support Stuart in capitalising on these opportunities.”
Mr Dorward says; “I am delighted to take on the role of Business Manager for DTZ in Scotland at an exciting time for the business.
“As the economy continues to recover, and with backing from the TPG consortium, we are in an exciting phase of development for our business, both locally and globally.
“My role will be to capitalise on these opportunities and optimise our services to clients.”
The Scottish commercial property market is certainly growing in prominence at present, with numerous investors and occupiers looking beyond Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Head of UK and Ireland at DTZ, Colin Wilson, believes Mr Dorward will continue to aid in the meeting of key targets within the firm.
He says; “Scotland is a key element of DTZ’s growth plans in the UK, building on our core strengths to increase service lines and capacity.
“Our Scottish Leadership remains firmly committed on delivering a market leading business, supported by our strengthening global successes.
“We are delighted that Stuart has accepted the role and thank James for his significant contributions over the last 9 years.”
