He will work with Hillington Park’s stakeholders including Renfrewshire council, Glasgow city council, Glasgow Airport, Braehead Shopping Centre and the new Southern General Hospital.
Rick de Blaby, chief executive at MEPC, said: “Jamie’s appointment is an important one for MEPC and Hillington Park. Project Hillington is a very exciting proposition for us.”
