A switch from the accounting world to that of surveying is likely to prove a seamless transition for experienced marketing professional, Neil McKenzie, who has joined DM Hall LLP, one of Scotland’s biggest independent firms of chartered surveyors.

A marketing graduate of Strathclyde University, Glasgow, Neil previously held roles in the marketing teams at the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) and then with Big Four accountancy firm, Deloitte.

Neil, who hails from Cambuslang, said: “I am very pleased to have been appointed marketing manager at DM Hall, especially at a time when confidence is returning to the property market in both the residential and commercial sectors.

“There are lots of new marketing initiatives we are keen to develop as a firm, both to bolster our corporate social responsibility credentials and to maintain the DM Hall brand at the forefront of our clients’ minds.”

Managing Partner at DM Hall, Eric Curran, said: “Neil is a very welcome new member of the team. His background in the professional services market is exceptional and his contribution,I am sure, will enhance our offering to the market.”
