ALLIED Surveyors Scotland has appointed Iain Mercer as its head of commercial agency – Scotland.
He joined the business in 2018 as director of commercial agency (east) with the remit of opening the firm’s first east coast commercial agency in Edinburgh.
The department has shown a trajectory of year-on-year growth and in 2023 Allied acquired the Leith-based property business Edinburgh Commercial Property, adding to its client roster, staff numbers and range of services.
With the growth of the firm’s agency, valuation and building surveying work in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness, Mr Mercer is now tasked with spearheading commercial activities across its network of offices.
“Since joining Allied Surveyors six years ago, Iain has worked tirelessly to build on both the brand and his and our existing network to great success,” said chairman of Allied Surveyors Scotland, Grant Robertson. “His promotion to head of commercial agency for Scotland reflects on that success and sets out our clear intentions for greater future growth in this area of our business.”
Iain Mercer added, “For some time now, I have been coordinating and aligning the strategy of our commercial departments looking at everything from service package to branding and marketing. As we look to drive forward our commercial activities, I am thrilled Allied’s board of management has asked me to take on this role.”
