Appointment of Core Associate

Core is delighted to announce that Sandy Wilson, a career banker and former national Head of Recoveries & Litigation at the Royal Bank of Scotland, has become a Core Associate.   In addition to his considerable commercial experience gained over a 35 year banking career which included corporate restructuring and work-outs, Sandy has extensive experience as a user of mediation services.   He has successfully completed the highly acclaimed Core mediation training course and assessment and his association with Core is a real boost to Core’s ability to develop its mediation offering in the financial sector.

Sandy Wilson said: “I see my association with Core as being a mutually beneficial relationship. I perceive Core as a premier quality mediation services provider and the leading quality provider in Scotland.   I look forward to being associated with and promoting the Core quality brand.   I feel at home with what I perceive as the Core values and I hope my commercial skills and experience and banking background will bring an added dimension to Core.   I have extensive experience of negotiation in commercial situations and of working closely with lawyers over the years in instructing them in on-going complex (including cross-border) litigation.   I have a conviction that mediation almost always adds value and litigation should wherever possible be avoided.”

John Sturrock commented: “We are delighted to be working with someone of Sandy’s experience and commitment to mediation. I regard this as a significant development for Core and welcome Sandy to our team. I have no doubt that he will bring a new dimension to what we do.”
