Neil Johnston and Adam Watt have been promoted to associate partners.

Based in Edinburgh, Mr Johnston works in the Project Management team and was instrumental recently in delivering the exceptional new office fit-out at 177 Bothwell Street on behalf of Evelyn Partners, the wealth management and accountancy firm. Mr Johnston, who lives in Gullane, has been with the firm for over two years and previously ran his own business for 12 years.

Mr Watt, from Roseburn in Edinburgh, has been a key member of the Office Agency Team for four years and has enjoyed a successful year, completing the acquisition of space at Capital Square on behalf of Eversheds in 2022 and the letting of a full townhouse to Kaplan at 26 St Andrew Square for their Edinburgh HQ. Mr Watt is also heavily involved in advising multinational landlords on flagship projects such as Kennedy Wilson at Waverleygate and Parabola at 1 New Park Square, Edinburgh Park.

Now working alongside Mr Johnston is recent recruit Greg Sprakel, who joins the business as a project manager following a spell with Currie & Brown.

A further recruit, Michael Sinclair, has joined as an associate surveyor in the ratings team to support existing partner, Paul Lejkowski, with the implementation of the new rating changes that were introduced in April and assisting clients on navigating those changes and forthcoming appeals. Having graduated from the University of Glasgow with a dual accredited Masters degree in Real Estate and Regeneration (MSc), Mr Sinclair has worked in the business rating sector for the past four years.

Murray Strang, managing partner, Scotland at Cushman & Wakefield, said: “Neil and Adam have been involved in significant projects for the business in the last year and represent a strong foundation for future leadership within the Cushman & Wakefield business. Both thoroughly deserve recognition through these promotions.

“We are delighted to also welcome Greg and Michael to their respective teams where we see considerable potential for growth in each service line.”
