Edinburgh based architect, surveyor and construction manager Gibbon Lawson McKee (GLM) has announced that Doug Lawson has returned to the firm that he helped found in 1996.
This follows 14 years in Australia as both a director for Knight Frank’s Queensland office and as regional project management lead for Australia’s largest developer, Stockland.
He is rejoining the management team in the role of director and will establish a new Perthshire base.
A chartered surveyor and fellow of RICS, Lawson brings experience in providing property consultancy and project management services, delivering large-scale, mixed-use development projects for a range of corporations.
In his new role, Lawson will help lead GLM’s commercial market strategy, focusing on enhancing service delivery, leading teams and managing stakeholder expectations.
Managing director Ian McKee commented: "In Doug we have a long history, trust and alignment of values and interests - the fundamentals for building success - so I am particularly excited by him rejoining the business at a time when opportunities abound.
"We look forward to expanding our highly valued appraisal, creative and technical design and delivery capability to new sectors where quality and longevity are most valued and Doug’s skills, experience and drive will be key to this expansion."
Lawson added: "My aim is to bring valuable overseas experience and learnings from projects of significant scale in the higher education, health, landlord and tenant, retail, commercial office and residential development sectors, capitalising on GLM’s strong market presence and heritage, in addition to having board-level input to its broader future growth plans."
