PROPERTY consultant CBRE has announced the appointment of Tony Rosenthal as director in one of its Scottish teams.
Rosenthal will join the Scottish Rating team in Glasgow.
He originally qualified as a surveyor with CBRE in 2008 and has rejoined the company from Cushman & Wakefield, where he was a partner leading the national rating team in Scotland. Previous to that he was also a partner at Gerald Eve. He brings ten years’ experience in Scottish business rates with his experience mainly on specialist markets including airports and renewables.
Rosenthal’s main focus will be to widen the rating team’s involvement in specialist markets and, using his vast experience in rates mitigation, to expand the already successful mitigations offering in Scotland, including developing the water rates mitigation service line.
Brian Rogan, CBRE’s head of Rating in Scotland, said: “This is an exciting time for the Rating team at CBRE and Tony’s appointment, along with the specialist markets and mitigation experience that he brings with him, will enable us to strengthen our offering to clients.
“The Scottish Rating system has witnessed a dramatic couple of years with new practices being implemented following the 2017 Revaluation and the Scottish Government introducing a number of new reliefs and legislative changes following on from the Barclay Review in late 2017.
“Now, more than ever, ratepayers need the advice of experienced and dedicated rating surveyors who understand and follow how these changes impact on their assets performance.
“Tony’s considerable experience and expertise in navigating ratepayers through the new Scottish rating appeal and relief application processes will be of direct benefit to our clients.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
