Key promotions
Shepherd surveyors promoted to associate

Shepherd Chartered Surveyors has promoted Alan Berry, a commercial property manager in Glasgow, and Edward Cook, a residential surveyor in Edinburgh, to associate from 1 December.
Mr Berry was recruited from Aberdeen University into Shepherd’s graduate programme in 2012 and passed his APC in 2015.
Originally from Northumberland, Mr Cook pursued a management career in hospitality before transferring to a real estate postgraduate degree at Heriot Watt University.
Commenting on the promotions, George Brewster, Senior Partner at Shepherd, said: “It’s no coincidence that both Ed and Alan are key contributors in Edinburgh and Commercial Property Management departments. They have made significant individual contributions which the partnership needs to recognise, so promotion is well deserved.”
