Business people on the move

Kirsty McKenzie

Global real estate advisor CBRE has strengthened its advisory and transactions team with Kirsty McKenzie joining as a data analyst in its Glasgow office.

She is relocating from CBRE’s market-leading Manchester office where she has worked since 2017.

As well as producing research and analysis for the team in Scotland, Kirsty will be implementing new processes to strengthen data quality and completeness, along with additional areas of analysis that haven’t been generated previously in Scotland. This will also enable the firm to deliver market analysis quicker.

Kirsty said: “I am excited to make the move to Scotland and get started in this new role. I am passionate about the value that data and analysis can add to our client offering and look forward to further developing my skills and experience working alongside a great team.”

A graduate of The Robert Gordon University and locally schooled at Turriff Academy, Ross said: “The reason I joined STATS was because I was hugely impressed by the enthusiasm of the directors and their vision for where they wanted to take the business and it remains a hugely ambitious company.”
