Tributes paid to former Council Surveyor

The Highland Council has paid tribute to Mr Des Devine, former Surveyor at the Council who died earlier this week.

Steve Barron, Chief Executive said: “It is with great sadness that we heard that Des Devine passed away this week after a long and brave battle with cancer. 

"Des was a surveyor in the Property service and I worked very closely with him when we formed the Asset Management team in 2008. He achieved excellent results there and his enthusiasm and energy were infectious to everyone involved. Every discussion with Des was positive and they all ended in a smile. 

“He will be fondly remembered by all who knew him. I extend our heartfelt condolences to his family for their loss.”
