Ryden has announced the promotion of Lorna Greig to Partner. Lorna has been part of the firm's Rating, Valuation and Lease Advisory team for over 20 years and is one of Scotland's leading experts in non-domestic rating matters.

With 30 years' experience in lodging and negotiating rating appeals, rates management and mitigation, Lorna provides advice regarding all types of commercial properties. She has an impressive list of retained clients from multiple industries and public sector organisations.

Ryden's Rating service represents businesses in ensuring all Rateable Values are fair and reasonable. We liaise with Assessors Departments, answering any business rates queries and minimising outgoings.  

Brian Allen, Head of Ryden's Rating, Valuation and Lease Advisory team, commented on this promotion:

"We're incredibly delighted to announce this well deserved promotion of our colleague Lorna. She is a key member of our team, always ensuring we establish strong relationships with our clients across all sectors.

"This appointment once again demonstrates our commitment to developing our staff as part of Ryden's ongoing growth plans."

Lorna Greig, Rating Partner at Ryden, added:

"I am looking forward to continuing to strengthen Ryden's rating consultancy service and to keep providing the best advice to our clients.

"With the next non-domestic rates revaluation taking effect in 2023, there will be significant opportunities to support businesses and organisations by minimising their rating costs in an inflationary environment which will place additional pressure upon many of them. In Scotland, the appeal system and process will look very different but we are here to help establish how best to protect our clients' positions now."
