In episode 108, Gillian is joined by Eduardo Prato, Director of Martin & Co Aberdeen, to explore a career path that spans countries and industries. Beginning as a helicopter pilot in the Venezuelan navy, Eduardo went on to work in high-pressure environments including offshore operations before transitioning into the property sector, although he still carries out air ambulance duties.<\/p>\n

The conversation explores what inspired these career moves, the challenges of shifting from a technical aviation role into a commercial property environment, and whether any unexpected skills transferred between the two.<\/p>\n

The Aberdeen rental market and changing sentiment<\/h2>\n

A key part of the discussion focuses on the Aberdeen rental market, including its historic ties to the energy sector and whether it behaves differently from other UK cities. The episode also touches on recent signs of renewed investor interest, particularly from outside the region, and what may be driving this shift.<\/p>\n

Alongside market insights, the conversation explores Eduardo\u2019s people-first philosophy, how it influences team culture and client relationships, and what it means in practice within a modern property business. The episode also reflects on continued recognition from the All Agents awards and what it represents for the team.<\/p>\n

The episode concludes with Eduardo reflecting on personal experiences that have shaped his outlook, as well as his role as a trustee for Arthur Rank Hospice and what that work means to him.<\/p>\n
