Jill Thomson Email and Phone Number

Part of the Corporate Solutions team and a National Team delivering Estate Management Services for the occupational and let portfolio for a major UK Financial Institution. As Team Lead for the Edinburgh based team of four people our defined portfolio geographically covered the properties in Scotland, Northern England, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Channel Islands and Isle of Man.

I was part of the Corporate resources team and was part of the team deliverying the day to day property management function for a UK based retail bank. I dealt with Estate Management issues for both the occupational and sub-let properties across Scotland and the north of England. From June 2007 - February 2008 I took a part time seconded position directly with the client, whilst continuing to do an Estate Management role with a reduced portfolio size. During this period I was part of the retail team, dealing with branches where relocations had been identified or where there were concerns around forced expiries. My time in this role gave me a valuable insight into the retail strategy and the delivery of their goals.Returning to NB at the end of this period, I continued in my corporate estate management role but combined this with some investor property management work, which gave me valuable insight into service charges; budgeting and the importance of sound property management as a means to enhance asset value.

Dealt with day to day management and asset management of the property portfolio, a mixture of residential, commercial and operational properties (value circa £50 Million). I was one of only two surveyors in the team.
