In response to significant growth over the last few years, Hardies Property & Construction Consultants has undertaken a comprehensive operational restructure, with the appointment of a senior partner, expansion from three to four geographical divisions throughout the UK and the addition of three new partners.
Danny McArthur joined Hardies as a student 25 years ago before his appointment as a Graduate Quantity Surveyor two years later.
He progressed to become a Chartered Quantity Surveyor and Project Manager with considerable experience in the health, housing and leisure sectors and was former head of the firm’s central division.
He became a salaried partner in 2010 and an equity partner in 2015. Now, as the firm’s senior partner, Mr McArthur will oversee the restructure of its operations throughout the UK.
He said: “These far-reaching rearrangements have been made to take the company forward for the next five years, so we can meet our challenges and take advantage of our growing opportunities for a number of UK national clients.
“These opportunities have prompted our expansion from three to four geographical divisions, due to our growth in Glasgow and the west of Scotland in particular, following our recent acquisitions of Binnie McKenzie Partnership and Allan & Hanel Chartered Surveyors.
“With the firm now working across the whole of the UK we have plans to open further divisions in England and Ireland next year.”
Hardies has replaced its strategic partner designation with the introduction of managing partners to bring it into alignment with the organisational structure of sister firm Shepherd Chartered Surveyors.
That means that former strategic partners Murray Warner and Darron McKay become managing partners of east and the north respectively, while Graeme Davidson is promoted to managing partner for west and Martin McConnell to managing partner for central division.
Furthermore, Hardies has appointed three new partners: David Alexander becomes a partner to lead the QS team in Edinburgh, Shaun Buchan becomes a partner to lead the Building Surveying team, while Graham Rolfe becomes a partner in the Dunfermline office, where he will lead the QS team.
Established in 1913, Hardies Property & Construction Consultants is a leading multi-disciplined practice specialising in Project Management, Building and Quantity Surveying, Energy Services, Housing Services, Principal Designer and Clerk of Works.
