Rettie & Co has appointed Rob Trotter as Director of New Business for Lettings, joining from London’s-owned DJ Alexander where he spent nearly two decades.

One of Trotter’s key tasks will be to expand the agency’s Edinburgh lettings portfolio.

Trotter says: “There is massive potential for the firm to grow the lettings side of the business, underpinned by Rettie’s unwavering commitment to relationship-driven customer service.  

“It has been a big move for me, it is the only other firm I would have joined at this point in my career. The ethos that Simon Rettie, Neil Cunningham, and the team have built was a deciding factor.”   

And Rettie’s commercial director Neil Cunningham adds: “Lettings is a fast-growing division for us, and Rob adds the kind of high-level experience that will enable us to grow even more quickly, whilst maintaining our personal service where every landlord is given a named contact dedicated to everything from letting the property to maintaining it. 

“We continue to invest in our people, strengthening our teams so that we are always aiming for that best-in-class standard in the sector.”
