Effective from June 1, the appointment has formalised the relationship between Dykes and Griffin, who set up a joint venture two years ago to operate a full-service commercial property agency. 

Greg Dykes originally formed Rannoch Property in 2014, upon returning to Glasgow following a period working in the London markets for a number of well-known funds. He has a wealth of experience working as an in-house property manager for Taylor Woodrow Property Company and City Site Estates Plc.

David Griffin, a commercial property surveyor for 43 years, began his career in the Strathclyde Assessors Department and moved to private practice latterly with Lambert Smith Hampton. He founded his general practice surveying firm with his former partner Richie Webster in 1984.

David Griffin said: “I have been planning to do this for a few years and Greg is the right person to work with our clients and team. I have introduced him to several of our clients and the feedback from them is very encouraging.

“We have formalised the relationship and we are both delighted that Greg is a Director of the company. As for myself, I’m not quitting yet and will still deal with acquisitions, rent reviews and lease renewals.”

Greg Dykes added: “I have been working from Griffin Webster, dealing with commercial property sales and lettings alongside David Griffin, one of the founding partners of the firm. We get on very well together, and I am looking to growing the business with him.

“Looking ahead, surprisingly there is still demand for shop and warehouse premises and remotely, we have managed to complete a few deals in recent weeks. Overall, I am very confident about the future of our industry.”
