Gary Murphy and Ashley Hare join as partners in valuation, Graham Thomson joins as a partner in lease consultancy, and Chris Hutchinson and Conor McGinty join building consultancy as partner and associate, respectively.

Newmark’s Glasgow office now comprises more than 30 professionals, reflecting continued investment in its Scottish business, broadening the end-to-end advice available to owners, occupiers, investors and developers. The appointments follow the recent arrival of Paul Broad to lead the firm’s national offices team in Glasgow, further enhancing Newmark’s capabilities across both transactional and advisory disciplines in Scotland.

Graham Howarth, partner - business rates and head of Newmark’s Glasgow office, said: “The growth of the Glasgow team underscores our continued commitment to delivering exceptional advice backed by deep local market knowledge.

“As client requirements become increasingly complex, demand for integrated advice continues to grow. The additional expertise further strengthens our ability to deliver integrated advice across valuation, lease consultancy, building consultancy and transactional services, helping our clients navigate every stage of the property lifecycle.”

Hare has more than 15 years’ experience across commercial property, development land and residential, including purpose-built student accommodation.

Together, they enhance Newmark’s lender and valuation advisory capabilities across the region. Both join from BNP Paribas Real Estate, where Murphy was head of valuation - Scotland and Hare was a director.

With more than 30 years’ experience, Thomson brings extensive expertise across rent reviews, lease renewals and lease regears throughout Scotland. He advises the full breadth of corporate occupiers, landlords and public sector organisations, with a focus on industrial and trade counter properties, offices and retail. He joins from Avison Young, where he was a director.

For the building consultancy team, Hutchinson and McGinty bring expertise across project management, contract administration, dilapidations, defects analysis and technical due diligence. With over 25 years’ experience, Hutchinson’s capabilities span offices, industrial, retail, hotels, healthcare and education.
