Willcock said: “The Scotland business has incredible potential and I am honoured to be taking over at such an interesting time in the market, building on the strong foundations laid down by David. The opportunities to drive forward new strategies that deliver value to our clients, empower our team and support sustainable growth are vast and I look forward to working with talented individuals to achieve our ambitious goals.”
