Director, Founder, Solicitor, Valuer
Ron is the founder of Hastings Legal and has been at the heart of the business for more than 27 years. He began his career as a solicitor in family law before moving into property, and his breadth of experience across both legal and property work has helped shape the firm's distinctive approach.
Ahead of the times, and with the foresight of his wife Helen, Hastings Legal was at the forefront of the property marketing revolution. Keeping it in the family, Helen designed and launched one of the first dedicated property websites in the Borders — a step that set the firm apart early on and remains part of its culture of innovation.
While no longer fully office-based, Ron remains closely involved with the business, contributing his experience and knowledge to its continued development. Building strong relationships has always been central to his approach, and he believes reputation, trust and humility are the foundations of long-term success.
Ron takes pride in seeing both the firm and its people thrive, and enjoys watching the next generation of the Hastings team grow into their roles. His focus has always been on combining professional excellence with genuine client care — values which remain embedded in the business.
Away from work, Ron is a keen golfer and runner, and enjoys playing music and spending time in the garden. Favourite local spots include the Duchess Drive and Bowhill Estate near Selkirk, and he values the quality of life that comes from living and working in the Borders.
