All three newly promoted staff joined JLL through its graduate employment scheme and have continued to rise through the firm’s ranks. Janey Douglas has been promoted within the capital markets team from senior surveyor to associate. Deirdre Thom of the firm’s planning and renewables team joined JLL in 2011. She moves from senior planning consultant to associate and will remain working across Scotland on some of the highest profile planning and renewable projects. Alastair Stang, who joined the firm in 2015, moves from surveyor to senior surveyor within JLL’S office agency team in Edinburgh.

He replaces outgoing chair Robin Worsnop as he prepares to step down following a nine-year term. Worsnop oversaw the successful developmen­t and implementa­tion of the sector’s current tourism strategy which has helped drive consistent and sustainabl­e growth in visitor numbers and spend. Emslie said: “I am delighted to have been appointed as ETAG’S new chair and excited to have the opportunit­y to contribute to the developmen­t of Edinburgh’s tourism sector and build on Robin’s legacy of strong and sustainabl­e growth seen in the sector in recent years.”

Working closely with the chief executive, Bob Buskie, Allday is tasked with the developmen­t and delivery of a business strategy to sustain the continuous growth of the port. This involves gathering market intelligen­ce, analysing trends and identifyin­g growth opportunit­ies, future investment and commercial initiative­s and providing strategic planning, in addition to nurturing commercial relationsh­ips with clients and key stakeholde­rs, and managing commercial activities.
