Managing Director

James has spent over 13 years working in the UK built environment recruitment market, partnering with top property consultancies, multi-disciplinary firms, project management consultancies and client-side developers both in the UK and internationally. His work spans Project Management and Development Management recruitment, placing talent that helps drive complex property and construction projects forward.

With strong roots in the UK property industry stemming from his time studying at Reading University, James has built a network of long-standing relationships. His deep understanding of the technical demands in construction consultancy recruitment has grown alongside the careers of those he’s supported over the years.

When he’s not connecting people and projects, you’ll find James following his love for antique toys, supporting Chelsea Football Club, or experimenting in the kitchen, usually with travel inspiration behind the menu.

Claudine Gilbery-Phillips
Head of QS Recruitment

Following her 20+ years of experience as a Bond Broker, Claudine has spent over 10 years working in the built environment recruitment market. She works closely with Quantity Surveyors across the UK, providing career advice and helping QS candidates secure new roles that genuinely suit them. Whether it’s a multi-disciplinary Consultancy or pure PQS firm, she’s known for listening carefully, asking the right questions, and putting people forward for the right reasons.

She works with all levels from Assistant Quantity Surveyors through to Partner / Commercial Directors and understands the ins and outs of what Quantity Surveyors actually do, not just what’s written on the job spec. For Claudine, recruitment is personal. It’s about long-term relationships, not short-term wins.

Based in the UK, she’s raising her twin boys, loves running, balancing mum life with her passion for connecting good people with good work. She’s big on honesty, doesn’t do fluff, and always brings a calm, considered approach to the table with a “never give up” attitude and the tenacity to match a Rottweiler.
