Millar & Bryce unveils new branding for its 150th anniversary

Millar & Bryce, the experts in property searches, title information, conveyancing searches and land referencing right across Scotland, is delighted to announce their brand identity refresh, as part of the firm’s 150th anniversary, embedded further into the forward-looking, technology-driven Group, Landmark, leading the way in Proptech.

The refreshed identity was unveiled last week as Millar & Bryce marked the 150th anniversary with their Scotland Conference – Property Excellence, Past, Present & Future – a fascinating exploration into historic events, a celebration of heritage and valuable insights shared from industry experts across Scotland’s property sector. 

Looking Back, Looking Forward

The conference reflected the Millar & Bryce business over the past 150 years, its legacy and rich heritage, resilience and reinvention that have contributed to the firm’s longevity and a trusted name in the Scottish property market. 

Millar & Bryce welcomed industry leaders from across the Scotland property market and wider Landmark Group to share their insights into a broad range of topics from advancing into digital transactions, sustainability initiatives, to the emergence of tech and AI. William Ullstein the CEO of polling organisation YouGov, delivered the keynote, delving into the property buyers of the future and whilst the data indicated significant changes happening in the market, reassuringly the importance of maintaining a human element rather than trusting the technology shone through, with only 18% of 18-24 year olds thinking it was a good idea to use AI for legal advice. 

The Next 150 Years

Back in 2017 when Richard Hepburn was appointed Managing Director, Millar & Bryce had an average length of service in the business of 21 years with several 40+ year seasoned experts. Now approaching eight years in his role, preserving the 150th legacy and the best of what’s gone before whilst identifying and execute on change to create a sustainable future, will be pivotal for future success.

Richard Hepburn comments, “In our 150th year we were keen to present a fresh, new image for Millar & Bryce, aligning more with our parent, Landmark Information Group, and reflecting the digital future which we have embarked on as a Group.  The 150-year legacy of the Millar & Bryce business is very much valued and respected by Landmark, and bringing together our trusted skills and expertise with the vision of Landmark positions us as a business which can continue to provide relevant solutions for the land and property sector in Scotland”.
