Lomond has agreed a new partnership with organisational performance improvement specialist FranklinCovey in a bid to attract talented new recruits, fast-track existing employees up the ranks, and ultimately boost its senior management team.

The estate agency group, which currently employs around 1,100 people, hopes the link-up with FranklinCovey demonstrates the group’s commitment to fostering exceptional leadership and supporting talent development.

Ed Phillips, Lomond’s CEO, said: “This strategic partnership marks a significant milestone in our journey to create and strengthen the ultimate senior leadership team.

“It will also fast-track those rising stars across the group to fulfil their potential and equip them with the character, mindset, skill-set and behaviours to grow into our leaders of tomorrow and deliver exceptional results.”

“This collaboration reinforces our dedication to investing in our home-grown talent, elevating our leadership and investing in the future of the property industry.

“It will also ensure we stay at the forefront of recruiting, retaining and rewarding the very best people working in the residential property sector.”

Recognising the instrumental role that leadership plays in organisational success, Phillips says this ambitious programme spans across all levels of the business, ensuring senior leaders, management teams, and emerging talent receive tailored developmental experiences.
