HFD Group has appointed London & Scottish Investments’s senior asset manager Michael McDowall as a property director.
McDowall spent five years at London & Scottish Investments as a senior asset manager. He has also worked at various real estate agencies in the UK and Australia, including FG Burnett.
In his new role, he will support the growth of HFD’s property development business, its commitment to sustainability and its serviced-office strategy.
He is experienced in particular with lettings and marketing, as well as property and asset management.
The firm’s existing projects include a “touch-free” layout for its 177 Bothwell Street office scheme in Glasgow (pictured), in response to Covid-19.
Stephen Lewis, managing director of HFD Property Group, said: “HFD remains committed to growing our property development business, despite the impact of Covid-19.
“We believe there will be opportunities around what many are describing as the ‘new normal’ and we are well-placed to capture them – our touch-free enhancements to 177 Bothwell Street are just one example of that in practice.
“Michael has a great track record in property and will play a key role in supporting the sustainability of our developments, as well as the continued expansion of our serviced-office business.”
McDowall said: “HFD Property Group is a well-known name and is working on some highly exciting projects, with an eye on the future in its commitments to sustainability and the use of technology.”
