Brian — who was previously a director of local private surveying practice Wilkinson & Lowe — has joined the chartered surveyors’ Dunfermline office.

In his new role, he will be responsible for expanding DM Hall’s nationwide insurance validation and quantity surveying capability.

“I was attracted by the opportunities offered by DM Hall’s national network of offices,” said Brian. 

“The scale of the firm and its strong support infrastructure means that I can operate on a completely different level.

“I will be reporting to partner Alasdair Seaton [pictured above, right] in Dunfermline and will have the responsibility of effectively establishing a new QS department within the firm, with the ultimate aim of bringing on future talent to ensure sustainability.

“At the moment, I carry out insurance validation work across a large part of Scotland and this is something I will continue to expand, backed by the resources of DM Hall.”

Alasdair added: “[Brian’s] presence will allow the firm to rapidly expand its QS and insurance validation offering, thereby increasing the range of services that we can offer our clients up and down the country.”
