Our Edinburgh office is now ten years old! As we pass the parcel and munch our birthday cake, we’ve been sharing the milestones along the way, and what’s still to come.

Whether they’ve been with us since day one, or are just at the start of their journey, we’re excited to have them along for the ride!

Now here’s a party game for you to try – can you match each team member to their childhood snap? Good luck. They grow so fast!

Neil Granger (4+ years in Edinburgh)

“Being part of the UK Net Zero Carbon Building Standard’s task group on operational energy and seeing the pilot standard launched was a real highlight. I’m also proud of our work on Pavilion 4, Eco-Park, Aberdeen – our first £1M+ cross-hub design project in Edinburgh.”

“Looking ahead, I’m excited (and a little nervous!) about the growth and change the business will go through as we embrace digital transformation and the shifting landscape of decarbonisation.”

“I’ve loved working on sustainability and The Shelbourne Hotel Dublin – it’s been a brilliant experience.”

“Professionally, I’m looking forward to helping deliver the energy improvement works I scoped earlier this year for a confidential 5* hotel in central London. Personally, I’m aiming to complete my first full-distance Ironman!”

Louise Campbell (3.5 years in Edinburgh)

“I don’t work on projects directly, but I’m proud of helping to create our new job forms, which will help smooth the admin processes a bit, though it was hard work! As for what’s next, I’m looking forward to seeing the Edinburgh team grow and be filled with lots more brilliant people.”

Emily Brodie (6 years in Edinburgh)

“I’ve really valued being involved in BPF Futures - the Scottish chapter started less than four years ago and I’ve been lucky to have TFT’s support in my vice-chair role. Is it too cliché to say the next ten could be our best yet? The team continues to grow and develop, and that’s really exciting to be a part of.”

“I’m an apprentice in the team, so I’m proud of achieving grades over 70% in my university studies alongside my work here. It’s been hard but I’m excited to gain chartership with the RICS next.”

Alasdair (8.5 years in Edinburgh)

“Looking back on the time I’ve been here, we can’t forget all the challenges that COVID presented, and how we overcame them. Personally, I’m proud of the developer and client endorsements I’ve received after delivering significant fund monitoring and TDD instructions. Some project highlights include coordinating a multi-billion pound and euro RCA portfolio – that involved inspecting 148 properties across 10.4 million sqft in six weeks!

What’s next? I’d have to say even more of the same! We never take for granted how fortunate we are to work with such great colleagues and clients on such interesting instructions.”
