National commercial property company Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH) has made a senior appointment to bolster its team in Scotland.
Retail property expert Tim Appleton will head up LSH’s retail/out of town team throughout Scotland, a newly created post.
Appleton is a former director of Colliers, CBRE and Appleton Craig and with 30 years’ experience in the sector, has developed a wealth of knowledge with national retailers, funds and individual clients alike. He has worked on a number of major deals including a flagship acquisition for Blacks PLC in Glasgow and the Motor Park site assembly for Arnold Clark Group in Edinburgh.
Commenting on his switch to Lambert Smith Hampton, Tim Appleton said: “LSH has a fantastic reputation, especially in retail with clients like Starbucks and Specsavers, so the opportunity to head up and develop the retail division in Scotland for LSH was one not to be missed.
“I’ve been given the chance to retain my existing ongoing workload, whilst working with LSH’s wider retail team to develop it, and to establish LSH as a key player in the Scottish retail property market”.
Ian Davidson, Head of the Edinburgh Office, at LSH said: “Tim is well respected throughout the industry and has broad experience in all aspects of the retail and development sectors representing both landlords and tenants.
“We continue to recruit the best and most ambitious property professionals at a time when we are poised for further growth across Scotland. Tim’s appointment is the latest example of this approach and will support the provision of high quality services to clients.”
