Corporate Restructure Sees Irene Devenny Appointed MD of Ross & Liddell

 

 


Property management company Ross + Liddell has announced a corporate restructure which sees Irene Devenny become managing director and former managing director John Harris assume the role of chairman.
 
Having occupied the role of managing director for the past decade, Mr Harris now intends, as chairman, to take a step back from overseeing the day-to-day running of the company in order to focus his efforts on its future strategy. Earlier this year Mr Harris relinquished his position as financial director with the appointment of company secretary Alexander Cassidy to that role.
 
Whilst retaining her role as director of property management, the corporate restructure makes Irene Devenny one of the few women to be in the driving seat of a Scottish property company.
 
Of her appointment as managing director, Mrs Devenny said, 'Having worked at Ross + Liddell for 30 years, I'm delighted to be spearheading the next stage of the company's progression into a one-stop-shop for property services. We now intend to expand both the range of services we provide and the markets we serve throughout Scotland.'
 
Having recently concluded its 150th anniversary celebrations, Ross + Liddell currently employs a staff of 80 from offices in Glasgow, Paisley and Edinburgh. Company turnover is approaching £3 million. Recent years have seen the firm expand the range of residential and commercial property services it provides, including property management, estate agency, surveys, valuations, rent reviews, letting, insurance and building surveying.
 
In addition to the corporate restructuring at board level, Ross + Liddell has made a series of recent key appointments, aimed at bolstering its property management, furnished lettings and its building surveying operations.
