Steven Herd

Steven’s traineeship with Weatherall Green and Smith commenced in London in 1987. Prior to establishing Hendersonherd, he was the UK Board member of Atisreal Limited responsible for both the Scottish operation and all transactional business throughout the UK.

During 20 years with Weatherall Green and Smith Steven jointly established a London based insolvency department in 1989 and was appointed head of the Scottish business in 1996.

Developing a property insolvency business within a free falling market early in his career instilled an appreciation of core property values. His 12 year tenure of the Scottish operation created a sustainable, multi-disciplinary business, designed to profit from the dynamics of occupier, investor and financial markets. This business became one of the most consistently profitable in Atisreal Limited and respected within the Scottish and UK business communities.

Throughout his career, transacting property has been the focus. It remains his view that in the right hands, property is a fairly simple asset class, it is people and circumstance that present both the challenge and the opportunity.

Steven is a graduate of Aberdeen University and a qualified Chartered Surveyor. He attained the dubious honour of third place in the Property Week Awards UK Young Property Person of the Year, 1999.
