Estate agent Ganly Walters has acquired the MEPC business in Dublin, opening the way for John McKay to become head of commercial real estate for the firm.

A chartered survey, John McKay was senior property adviser with MEPC for over 10 years and previously worked with Jones Lang LaSalle and CBRE. He is currently building up a team at Ganly Walters and actively chasing investment opportunities and occupational space for what he calls "quality tenants".
