Newton Property Management appoints new chief executive

Newton Property Management has appointed Vincent Goldie as chief executive and Rachel Littlejohn as business development director.

Goldie has served as chief financial officer since February 2023, following previous senior roles in the financial services and utilities sector.

"The property management sector is in need of a customer service revolution, and I am honoured to lead Newton into this next phase," he said. "By reimagining our approach to customer service and implementing strategic changes across systems, processes and technology, we are well positioned to set a new standard for excellence in our industry."

Newton has undergone significant restructuring recently, including the appointment of Rachel Littlejohn to the board as a shareholder and director, alongside chair Stephen O’Neill and directors Kirsten O’Neill and Derek Macdonald.

"I am thrilled to have been appointed to the Newton Property Management board at such an exciting time," said Littlejohn. "My aim is to drive excellence in business development, ensuring that every interaction with our clients meets our vision to deliver a sector-leading customer experience."

At the end of last year, the factoring firm acquired Greenock-based Morison Walker Property Management. This latest deal saw Newton expand its presence in the west of Scotland.

Formed in 2001, the business is based in Glasgow - with further offices in Inverness and Aberdeen - and now manages factoring for around 34,000 properties across the country.
