Ian Hope, head of the rural department, said: “Our priority is to attract and retain the best and brightest talent to join us at Galbraith and develop their property careers.

“This year those embarking on their surveying qualification face the additional challenge of virtual learning in order to become a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. Galbraith has adapted to changing circumstances and we offer a programme of support to enable our new recruits to progress in their chosen field and to reach their full potential.

“Our rural division has continued to grow in recent years based on the outstanding service provided to our clients. Rural businesses face a high degree of uncertainty but there remain significant opportunities for estates and farms, especially where good internet connection can be offered. We are investing in the future by further expanding our team.”
