Neil Mackilligin is stepping down as senior partner of Allsop after a decade at the helm.
He will be replaced by Scott Tyler, who will take up the role in March next year, becoming only the sixth senior partner in Allsop’s 110-year history.
Tyler, 47, is currently managing partner of the commercial side of the business. He has been a commercial investment agent for more than 23 years, eight of which have been at Allsop and previously 17 years at Savills.
Mackilligin said: “Scott is a seasoned and well-known character in our industry and has played a pivotal role in expanding Allsop’s offer outside of auctions. Over the last couple of years, he has been focused on business generation and cross-selling across both the commercial and residential parts of the business and is ideally suited to assume an expanded leadership role.”
Mackilligin will remain a consultant at Allsop in 2016 and steps down after a record year at the firm, with turnover rising by 17% in 2015 to £47m and profits for equity partners up by 44% to £14.4m.
“It is great to go out on a high but the results are testament to the incredibly talented and tight-knit group of partners and staff at Allsop who have made my time as senior partner so rewarding and enjoyable,” said Mackilligin. “It’s Scott’s turn now and I have no doubt the firm will continue to go from strength to strength under his leadership.”
Tyler said: “I am looking forward to continuing the stellar work that Neil has put in over the last decade. In this strong market, I want to ensure Allsop continues to deliver a first-class service to all its loyal clients and to expand our business by attracting the very best people in our industry to this unique partnership.”
Ed Dunningham, head of valuation, will become Allsop’s new managing partner.
