Ben Fox, who joined Savills 19 years ago, was promoted to director in 2015 before taking the helm of the Edinburgh Residential department in 2017. Under his leadership, the team has seen remarkable growth. In his new role, Ben will focus on identifying new opportunities and developing client relationships.

Ben said: “It has been a privilege to lead the Edinburgh Residential team over the past few years, seeing it grow and thrive in a challenging market. New clients need to know that we will provide sound market insight and a steady hand throughout the buying and selling process. I’m excited to work alongside John to ensure we continue to deliver this for our clients.”

John Forsyth, a director in the Edinburgh business, joined Savills in 2017 after building a successful career in the local property sector. His expertise and commitment to the market have earned him the trust of clients and colleagues alike. His promotion to Head of the Edinburgh Residential office presents a fantastic opportunity to lead one of Edinburgh’s most respected residential sales teams, further shaping its success.

John said: “I’m really honoured to step into this role. Ben has built a fantastic team—knowledgeable, hardworking, and committed to delivering the best results for our clients. I look forward to leading the department as we continue to grow and build on our success in the Edinburgh market.”

Cameron Ewer, head of the Residential Business in Scotland, added: “The Scottish property market is not immune to wider economic factors, despite displaying remarkable resilience. In this changing landscape, expert local guidance is essential. Ben has built a market leading team in the city and has a personal reputation as one of the leading agents for sales of prime property in the city.

“Bolstering this team with John’s leadership will be key to maintaining the high level of service Savills clients rely on. These leadership changes will ensure we continue delivering market-leading advice and achieving the best possible results for our clients.”
