Gavin started his career in London working for Savills before becoming a Real Estate Fund Manager for Scottish Provident in Edinburgh. In the late 1990’s Gavin moved to Stannifer Group, a large UK Development Company during which time he was responsible for developing over a million square feet of retail, office and leisure space predominantly in Scotland as well as establishing the Group’s Asset Management business. In 2007 Gavin established Kirkstone Real Estate then Cordatus Real Estate in 2012 via a merger.

With a strong belief in the power of sport, Gavin sits on the board of Edinburgh Leisure, the city’s Council funded leisure provider. With a similar belief in education, he hopes to contribute similarly to Glasgow Caledonian’s continued success.

In his spare time Gavin enjoys most outdoor pursuits and triathlon in particular, previously as a GB age group athlete and now as a British Triathlon coach.
