First Placement
The beginning of the future
My first placement working for myself was in 2010; it was emotional, I knew the candidate well. It gave me the confidence to believe in myself and it was the start of many more to come.
First Key Account
It's not what you know, it's who you know
Grant was approached by one of the industry’s longest standing and successful estate agencies who instructed him solely to recruit for a 20 + office operation across London.
First Office Space
No more paperwork on the kitchen table
Moving away from the kitchen was a welcome relief for Grant; in 2012 he began working from a serviced office in Pall Mall, only two doors down from James Caan’s first office.
First Investment
Growth is never by mere change; it is the result of the forces working together
In 2012, Grant was introduced to Hamilton Bradshaw and Recruitment Entrepreneur, founded by James Caan. In 2014, he received investment from James and after just 12 short months, GKR was exceeding all expectations.
First Key Hire
Team work makes the dream work
Our first key hire joined as a consultant in late 2014, bringing 10 years of property experience. Now a Director at GKR, overseeing a highly effective team specialising within Residential property.
First Million
We did it!
GKR reached £1million revenue within 18 months. This was a huge achievement for us and has continued to snowball. We are now on the PSL for 80% of the UK’s most successful property firms.
