COMMERCIAL property consultancy FG Burnett bas announced Angus MacCuish will retire from his position as managing director in April next year.
Mr MacCuish, who has been with FG Burnett for nearly 30 years, will remain with the firm as a consultant after stepping down.
Richard Noble, currently director and head of agency, will succeed Mr MacCuish as managing director, supported by an executive team comprising Graeme Watt, David MacLeod and Jonathan Nesbitt. Ken Matheson will continue as non-executive chairman, the firm said.
Mr MacCuish, who has played an active role in organisations such as Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce and The Scottish Council for Development and Industry, said: "I have enjoyed a career spanning almost three decades with FG Burnett, which is testament to the fact that it is an outstanding organisation.
“As I step down in 2016, Richard will continue to drive the expert team at FGB forward, supporting business communities across Scotland with their commercial property needs.”
Mr Noble said, “Although Angus will be missed in the office on a day-today basis, our focus is, and will always be, on the Scottish market place and the future of FG Burnett. This will allow us to continue our provision of in-depth local knowledge and personalised services, which is unrivalled."
Mr Noble added: "Over the years Angus has been instrumental in forming an expert team and developing and nurturing talent, which is the backbone of our business. I will endeavour to continue this support and am pleased that Angus remains within the business on a consultancy basis.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
