The appointment is part of Morton Fraser’s ongoing ‘talent first’ approach to championing its existing staff.

Morton Fraser’s Commercial Real Estate team has seen 40% revenue growth over the last three years.

Chris Harte, Chief Executive at Morton Fraser, said: ‘Since joining last summer, Amar has brought a great deal of ambition to our growing team. As well as his individual strength in the field, Amar’s promotion is fantastic recognition of the confidence we have in our wider housebuilding and commercial real estate sector expertise.’
