The most satisfying thing about my job is ....
working with like minded people to get the job done quickly and
efficiently.
The hottest topic in our sector right now is
.... the need for offices to provide interesting, stimulating work
spaces to cater for new working practices. Companies are keen to
get staff back to the workplace to encourage engagement and
interaction but need to offer high quality invigorating space
taking cognisance of collaborative working and mental health.
Standard offices are quickly becoming obsolete and the trend for
fitted, furnished offices on flexible leasing arrangements is
quickly gathering strength. Whilst the private sector is addressing
these issues, there is a concern at the speed of return of the
public sector, which is having a detrimental effect on the recovery
of our city centres.
Property is a great career choice because ....
it is a practical and sociable career with diverse
opportunities
The most important career advice I would give to my
younger self is .... focus on the people who treat you
well and respect your advice. Be bold.
The three best things about working in Glasgow
are .... people, atmosphere, easy communications
My favourite part of Glasgow is .... Pollok
Park; I am there early in the morning walking my dog in peace and
quiet, which is a good way to start the day.
The city around the world that reminds me most of
Glasgow is …. Chicago, as it is down to earth and good
fun, with a similar look.
Outside of work, I am passionate about ....
fitness & socialising. Cycling and running are best, as you can
combine both.
My best tip to achieve a better work/life balance
is .... get a dog
