Ken Campbell is to take on a non-executive role for Elphinstone Holdings when he stands down as Group Director of the Glasgow-based property group next month.
With over 43 years experience throughout the UK property market, Ken joined Elphinstone eight years ago and has been a key figure in the huge expansion of the business.
His Elphinstone projects include the development and sale last year of the award-winning 300,000 sq ft City Park office development for £63.25 million which created 3,000 new jobs in the east end of Glasgow, and won six awards including BCO Regeneration Award; the 40-storey Elphinstone Place mixed use development; and the proposed £350 million sustainable village development on the River Clyde next to SECC. He has also been closely involved in all aspects of the group's extensive land and property portfolio.
Development director, Steven McGarva will take on executive responsibility for commercial development at Elphinstone in Ken's place.
Ken started out as an apprentice with industrial specialists James Barr & Son, Campbell joined Jones Lang Wootton's first embryonic Scottish office and was with them for 23 years, including 15 as a Partner, expanding their agency and development team to running over 70 per cent of the market.
Subsequently headhunted by Knight Frank to head up and regenerate their Scottish commercial business, he then became one of 23 London Proprietary Partners responsible for driving the fifth largest global firm.
During this time Ken was recognised by the industry as being one of the most impressive and influential Scottish commercial property players in the agency market, with involvement in over 3 million sq ft of office development as well as all other sectors of commercial and industrial property throughout the county.
