DEVELOPMENT consultancy Pegasus Group is launching a new office in Glasgow and has appointed Colin Lavety as senior director of planning.
Colin is joined by planning director Andrew Woodrow, who he has worked alongside since 2018, as part of the firm’s plans to strengthen its presence in Scotland.
The Glasgow office complements Pegasus’ move to a new Edinburgh site just over a year ago. Headed up by Colin, the new team will support clients across industries including energy and housing.
Colin and Andrew both join Pegasus from engineering and design company Stantec, formerly Barton Willmore, where Colin spent the last ten years building and leading the planning team. With nearly 25 years’ experience in planning, he has worked on high-profile projects such as Aberdeen’s South Harbour expansion. He has also acted as project lead for several commercial scale wind farms and a number of residential-led mixed-use regeneration projects.
In his new role, Colin will help drive Pegasus’ growth plans in Scotland and oversee the expansion of the planning teams in both the Edinburgh and Glasgow offices.
He said, “It is an exciting time to be joining Pegasus who continue to go from strength-to-strength. I look forward to leading the growth of the Pegasus planning presence in Scotland as part of the consultancy’s talented multidisciplinary team, who are renowned in the industry.”
Douglas McCormick, CEO of Pegasus Group, added, “This significant growth of our presence in Scotland aligns perfectly with Pegasus’ long-term vision and strategic growth plans. With the senior appointments of Colin and Andrew, this new office in Glasgow will further our ambitions in Scotland, which are in lockstep with rising client demand.”
