Lomond marks triple milestone

Co-created at the beginning of 2021 when Lomond Capital and Linley & Simpson joined forces, the business has now raced past three major milestones on its growth journey.

The company has completed 40 acquisitions, at an average rate of one every 18 days, taken its national rental portfolio beyond the 40,000 mark and now employs a team or more than 1,000 people.

Lomond has marked its second birthday and triple milestone by injecting new services into its Lomond Investment Management department and unveiling a new brand and website.

Lomond Investment Management adds an extra dimension to its suite of services by offering dedicated support to developers, receivers, investors and trustees spanning the build-to-rent, single-family housing, lettings, and offshore markets – maximising return and mitigating risk.

With UK-wide coverage, it pools expertise in front-end letting and management, block and estates management, portfolio sales, consultancy and financial appraisal, finance, and bespoke reporting.

Going forward, the business will also be branded simply as Lomond as part of its new identity and strapline “Property Wisdom at Work”. The new name, look and tone of voice follows surveys, competitor research, team interviews and workshops to explore what sits at the heart of the regional brands.

Lomond CEO, Ed Phillips, said: “Already in a strong position and with ambitious growth plans, it’s important we gain and retain a competitive edge in our sector as we continue to expand our business organically, as well as acquiring quality businesses into our network and larger agencies to act as a ‘hub’ for new locations.”
