Strutt & Parker’s head of Scotland Andrew Rettie is retiring at the end of the April after overseeing the agency’s move into offices with BNP Paribas Real Estate.
He will be replaced by Jon Lambert, head of Strutt & Parker’s forestry arm John Clegg & Co, where he has worked since 1993.
Rettie has been at S&P since 1987 and oversaw the opening and expansion of offices in Inverness and Perth, as well as new residential agency departments in Edinburgh.
Rettie said: “It gives me considerable satisfaction to report that, having overseen widespread growth, I am leaving our Scottish business in good shape.”
BNP Paribas Real Estate UK, Strutt & Parker and John Clegg & Co moved into central Edinburgh offices last month following last year’s merger of BNP PRE UK and Strutt & Parker.
The firms will continue to operate under the three brands of BNP Paribas Real Estate, Strutt & Parker and John Clegg & Co.
Lambert said: “Scotland is a distinct region within the BNP PRE group.
“The new Scottish HQ in Edinburgh is currently the only office in the UK where the three firms are united. “As such, it embodies the spirit of collaboration behind the merger and provides a fantastic opportunity to embrace the synergies across the individual property sectors.”
