WWe have appointed Colin Preston as Business Development Director for the South of England, further strengthening our leadership team in the region.
Colin joins following the addition of the Mecserve team to the London office, bringing over 30 years’ experience across commercial, residential, retail and hospitality sectors. His background includes senior roles at WSP and Mecserve, and delivering high-profile projects for clients such as The Crown Estate, Firmdale Hotels and British Land, as well as major mixed-use schemes across Regent Street, Oxford Street and Haymarket.

Commenting on his appointment, Colin said:
“As a people-focused business that values quality and long-term partnerships, Wallace Whittle’s values align perfectly with my own. I’m excited to now build on the success the business has achieved in Scotland in the South of England. For me, it is about making the brand mean something by delivering consistency, passion and a personal touch in everything we do.”
Allan McGill, Managing Director, added:
“Along with our business growth plans for England we are delighted to welcome Colin to Wallace Whittle. Colin has joined us alongside the wider Mecserve team, however, he will be fully focused on developing and growing client relationships for the business. He will work closely with Craig Robertson, business development director for England, and Carl Saxon, regional director for South of England, in what is now a highly experienced team.”
