Gibbon Lawson McKee (GLM) is expanding to the west coast with the establishment of a virtual Glasgow presence for the building consultancy.

Led by Gerard Smith, formerly of Ryden, the new team will focus on the delivery of confidential commercial projects within the local area, complementing an established office presence in Edinburgh and Inverness.

Describing the market for experienced technical, property and construction professionals as being at an 'unprecedented high' the practice expects to recruit additional staff in the short term as part of an ongoing expansion process.

Managing director Ian McKee commented: “We have seen the potential for growth in the west of Scotland for quite some time and after a series of successful projects delivered by the team based in Edinburgh we were exploring opportunities when the chance to work again with Gerry arose. Gerry worked with David Gibbon (another co-founder of GLM) back in the late 1980s at Povell Worthington before I joined David and we subsequently started GLM together."

GLM currently employs 20 staff with an unspecified number working from home in the Glasgow area, negating the need for a physical building.
