Manchester-based property firm Landwood Group has strengthened its recovery and restructuring arm with the appointment of Joe Scott as an Associate Director.
The move supports the business’s national expansion and ongoing growth across the North West.
Joe spent more than three years in Savills’ valuation team, handling loan security and portfolio valuations across the North.
Before that he spent time in recovery & restructuring roles at Kroll and Avison Young, bringing extensive expertise in LPA receiverships and complex restructuring projects.
Helen Jude, Partner at Landwood Group, said: “We’ve always believed in bringing the right experts in-house, people who understand the detail but also see the bigger picture. Joe brings exactly that.
“His experience with major national firms adds significant strength to our high-calibre team, enabling us to continue delivering at the highest level. This is particularly important as we’re seeing increased pressure in sectors like care and education, where valuations and disposals demand a more specialist, considered approach.
“Joe’s background makes him a perfect fit as we grow our recovery offering and deepen relationships with national lenders and IPs.”
Joe Scott said: “Landwood has always stood out to me for its strong reputation for a hands-on, rigorous approach and a culture that clearly values its people.
“After years in large advisory firms, this felt like the right opportunity to join a team that offers the same depth of expertise, but with a more personal, end-to-end way of working.”
At Landwood, Joe will bolster the team amid an increase in both valuation and recovery work. His role will support the firm’s ambition to continue to grow the recovery and restructuring arm of the business, as well as being able to bring years of valuation expertise.
The appointment is part of a wider strategy to increase market share in complex recovery work across the UK, following a management buyout in 2023 and two consecutive years of record performance.
