Ardent strengthens Scottish growth ambitions with strategic senior hire

The strategic hire supports Ardent Scotland’s continued growth across infrastructure, transport, utilities and renewables sectors. It also strengthens the business’s specialist land and project delivery expertise at a time when developers, investors and infrastructure partners are facing increasing pressures around land risk, project viability and delivery uncertainty.

Based in Ardent’s Glasgow office, Gavin has more than 20 years’ experience in the property sector. He brings extensive expertise in strategic land management, infrastructure delivery and complex project development.

Most recently, he served as Head of Renewables at Forestry and Land Scotland. There, he led one of the UK’s largest renewable energy land portfolios, including 1.4GW of operational onshore wind capacity and a forward pipeline of 3.5GW.

Throughout his career, Gavin has worked across valuation, commercial property management and large-scale infrastructure projects. He also currently serves as a Tribunal Member for the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service, hearing cases relating to non-domestic rates and council tax.
