Naylors Gavin Black appoints new managing partner 

Keith Stewart, head of the industrial agency team, is replacing Angus White, who has led the business for the last six years.

White will continue as a partner at NGB, focusing on property and asset management and consultancy.

Stewart has worked at the North East-based property consultancy for 23 years and will continue in his role as head of industrial agency alongside his new managing partner role.

He said: “A succession plan regarding the managing partner position and business has been in the works for some time.

“It’s an honour to take up this new role. It carries a lot of responsibility and prospects, and I’m excited for the future.

“I’d like to thank Angus who has led the practice to a strong position – and the whole team for their hard work to get us where we are today.

“The business is going through a lot of progressive changes currently. Our office move last year was a catalyst for planning ahead for our future and we have a new ambitious three-year business plan in place.”
