Ryden secures investment from Lambert Smith Hampton

Ryden has announced a strategic investment from Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH) to support future growth and deepen expertise in new commercial property and development land opportunities in Scotland.

Ryden’s Scottish offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen will continue to trade as Ryden LLP with its English operations becoming integrated into LSH to accelerate expansion plans in Northern England.

Both firms share a culture of strong, local client relationships with a commitment to delivering commercial results. An enhanced service for clients is at the forefront of the new partnership.

Alan Gilkison, Ryden Managing Partner, said:

“The businesses are an excellent fit in terms of geographical coverage and areas of expertise. The investment will allow us to develop our core strengths and expand into emerging sectors.

There is a common desire to deliver growth, achieve key expansion targets and expand client services, while retaining Ryden's strong reputation in Scotland. It also represents an excellent opportunity for our English business to grow more rapidly as part of a larger, established brand in the north of England and to work collaboratively across the regions.”

LSH is a property consultancy with 29 offices and over 1,000 staff in the UK and Ireland.
