Alan Robertson, Chair of The Scottish Property Awards judging panel, commented: "It is clear from the recommendations of many individuals from across the Scottish property industry that Stuart Heslop is a highly regarded and respected individual who has advised countless businesses and individuals across his long career in real estate finance. We are delighted to present the award to him at this year's event and look forward acknowledging his contribution."
The award will be presented in front of over 600 guests expected to attend the Scottish Property Awards dinner on Thursday 23 February 2023 which is being held at the EICC. www.scottishpropertyawards.co.uk/spa/book-tickets.
