US advisory firm The McDevitt Company has hired Dan Hildyard to head up its UK retail business and drive forward the company’s ambitious expansion plans.
Hildyard is a former executive managing director of Harper Dennis Hobbs, where he spent 18 years leading the UK agency business. He left in 2022 to run his own company.
The McDevitt Company was founded in 1997 by Wade McDevitt and has offices across the US as well as in Amsterdam and London.
Hildyard said: “Given McDevitt’s ambitions within the UK retail sector, I look forward to helping to fine-tune its expansion plans as we seek out new opportunities across London, and the wider UK market.”
Wade McDevitt, CEO of The McDevitt Company, added: “With Dan coming on board, and the experience and contacts he has within the retail market, it is testament to how strongly we believe in the prospects for growth within the UK’s retail market. We will also eventually be looking further afield at other sectors, as the strength of the company expands.”
