David Hunter has been announced as the Chairman of the £330 million Maxim office park development, on the M8 motorway in Lanarkshire. As one of the UK's most highly regarded property advisers, Hunter brings a wealth of experience to the role from his background as Managing Director of £6.5bn Arlington Property Investors and prior to that Aberdeen Property Investors. He was also one of the founding fathers of Chiswick Park in London, widely seen as the UK's most innovative office park.

The Maxim development is the UK's largest speculative business park project. Work on the development, on the former Chunghwa Picture Tubes site at Eurocentral in Lanarkshire, is on schedule to build 10 flexible high quality office buildings, totalling 756,000 sq ft, by March 2010.

Karen Campbell, Chief Executive of Maxim, said:

"David's breadth of experience and knowledge of the UK and international market will make a significant contribution to the Maxim team."

Hunter is a past President of the British Property Federation and last year was inaugural Chairman of the Scottish Property Federation. His company - Hunter Advisers - supports property funds investing in the UK, Germany, France and India, among other activities.
