PROPERTY consultancy Knight Frank has announced the appointment of an experienced project manager as a new partner.
The company has appointed David Robertson to its team, who joins from Gardiner & Theobald where he was a director, where he worked across several commercial property projects.
A chartered quantity surveyor, David has also previously held roles at Axiom Project Services and Thomson Bethune.
David has recently managed the construction of the 7,800-capacity Hive Stadium for Edinburgh Rugby as well as the refurbishment works at Atlantic Quay Glasgow on behalf of the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service and Department for Work and Pensions.
One of David’s first responsibilities at Knight Frank will be managing the £200m transformation project at Port Hamilton, Edinburgh, which will become Lloyds Banking Group’s main Scottish base.
Work includes a full redesign with energy-efficient upgrades, a new café, fitness centre and creative spaces.
Alasdair Steele, head of Scotland commercial at Knight Frank, said: “David is a welcome addition to the team with a wealth of experience managing best-in-class projects.
“His expertise adds another layer to our existing building consultancy offering, meaning we can now support current and future clients with project management services across all sectors.”
David Roberston added: “Joining Knight Frank marks the start of an exciting chapter in my career.
“The firm has a great reputation in Scotland and I’m looking forward to leading the growth and development of its project management arm, starting with the refurbishment at Port Hamilton.”
