Scottish-headquartered real estate consultancy Ryden has made three senior promotions, taking the firm’s total number of partners to 43.
Nick Armstrong, based in the investment team in Edinburgh, and Eddie Fiddes, who works in property management in Aberdeen, have both been made partner, while Mark Thom has been promoted to associate within the valuation, lease advisory and rating team in Edinburgh. All three joined Ryden in the early stages of their property careers.
Armstrong (pictured above, left) has worked in the Edinburgh investment team for more than 10 years, his most recent transactions including the purchase of Prestonfield Park Industrial Estate on behalf of Ribston and the acquisition of 43-45 George Street on behalf of Thistle Property.
Fiddes (centre) has led Ryden’s property management team in Aberdeen since 2013 and has worked with local and national clients including Knight Property Group, GSS Developments, Gilcomston Investments and Freshwater Group.
Thom (right) began his career as a graduate in Aberdeen before relocating to Edinburgh, where he provides valuation, rent review, lease restructuring and strategic advice for clients such as the Robertson Trust and Scotmid.
Ryden managing partner Mark Robertson said: “Ryden has maintained a strong business focus during the extended periods of lockdown to ensure that we support our client-facing teams and sustain our market-leading positions… The promotions we have made are of individuals who have built their career with us and reflect our appreciation of their dedication.
“Ryden is in a strong position to support clients through the next stage of the commercial property market cycle, which is picking up pace in Q2.”
