The appointment follows the promotion of Stewart Gorman MRICS to the same position in August 2025.

Aligned with the firm’s values of providing excellence and expertise to clients, both individuals have been integral to the continued growth and success of Edinburgh’s commercial department in the city’s West Maitland Street.

Stewart was recruited from J&E Shepherd in 2023 as a commercial surveyor and has been instrumental to the expansion of the firm’s valuation instructions from lenders, SIPPS and its network of private clients.

“At the heart of what I do is giving clear, evidence-led advice that clients can rely on when making property decisions. I’m pleased to be recognised for this, and I’m looking forward to continuing to grow our commercial business across Scotland,” said Stewart.

Bernadetta, who joined in 2020 from Heriot-Watt University with an honours degree in Urban Planning and Property Development, has played a key role in the growth and success of the department’s valuation and agency services.

“Since joining Allied Surveyors Scotland as a graduate in February 2020, I am delighted with my career progression and look forward to continuing to deliver valuations for lenders, institutional and private clients, as well as providing agency advisory services,” said Bernadetta.

Allied Surveyors Scotland’s head of commercial agency – Scotland, Iain Mercer, added: “Stewart and Bernadetta deserve recognition for their valued contributions to the business. These promotions reflect our ongoing commitment to nurturing and retaining talent within Allied Surveyors Scotland whilst ensuring our clients receive the highest quality service possible.”
