"The only recruitment organisation I’ll use & recommend going forwards!"
Who we are:
We’re a specialist recruitment business with deep roots in the real estate and property sector, with offices in London, Manchester, and Edinburgh and a network that stretches across the globe.
Since 2010, we’ve built a team of property experts turned recruiters, supported by the Recruitment Entrepreneur platform, with clients ranging from household names to boutique firms. We’ve grown consistently by doing things differently, by valuing relationships over transactions and people over process.
We’ve put a lot of care into building a culture where people feel inspired, supported, and excited to grow. It’s a place where collaboration comes naturally, high standards are shared, and development is a constant, not just a buzzword.
Our work spans across the real estate world: from Estate Agency and New Homes to Property Management, Office Support, Commercial Surveying, Project Management, and Construction.
Our Values:
-
Passion for Property
-
Resilience & Determination
-
Positivity
-
Best-in-class Service
-
Authenticity

Ethan Lewis
Situated in the heart of the city with a charming roof terrace.
Originally from South Africa, Ethan joined GKR in 2024 to combine his first-hand experience within the London property market and his sales and customer service acumen. Outside of the office, Ethan keeps active and particularly enjoys a rugby or football match with friends.
Michael Cartmill
An extensive, modern property recently refurbished and offering fantastic views.
Michael relocated to London from his hometown in Belfast, having worked as a Personal Banker before moving into Recruitment and bringing three years of experience with him to GKR. Outside of the office, Michael is a big football fan, an avid Liverpool supporter, and a Chess enthusiast.
Anu Deb
Tastefully designed with sophisticated interior features.
Anu joined GKR in 2014 with an ambition to expand GKR's business support recruitment services; coming from property herself, Anu grasped the responsibility quickly and now works with the industry's biggest and most successful property brands. With a family history in catering, it’s no wonder Anu is also quite the chef herself!
Bradley Hellier
Modern and spacious open-plan apartment with incredible character.
Bradley joined GKR with first-hand experience within the residential real estate sector. With a thorough understanding of the industry, he made a seamless transition into property recruitment at GKR. Originally from Devon, Bradley enjoys the outdoors and regularly visits home to help out on the family farm!
Grant Kaveney
Boasting an enviable position and state-of-the-art outdoor braai.
Back in 2010, after successfully scaling a recruitment business from South Africa, Grant launched GKR to transform the property recruitment landscape. When he’s not building the business, you’ll find him fishing, cheering on Liverpool, or proudly flying the South African flag. Oh, and did we mention he’s a surprisingly talented beatboxer?
Rose Lock
Offering extremely quick connections and an exceptional energy rating.
Rose joined GKR in 2018, having worked in property in both the UK and Spain over the last 20 years. Her tenacious attitude has driven fantastic results quickly as she has expanded our property management network. Rose is an OG vegetarian with the wildest office-snack combinations you will ever have heard of.
Lee Riley
A perfect example of period property with luxuriously fitted carpets.
After working in the property sector for almost seven years himself, Lee joined GKR in 2015 to support the growth of our residential department. He’s a self-declared Asian food addict, historically pooch-obsessed, with his very own fur-baby.
Molly Shoesmith
Completely restored within, meeting the new with the old.
Molly joined GKR in 2014 and was instrumental in developing the property management desk. In 2017, Molly became responsible for all company training and content management. Now based in Amsterdam, she is in charge of our business operations and stocking up the office with treats when she visits!
Peter Wallis
Impressive views across London following an upper-floor extension.
Peter joined our business support recruitment team in 2019, taking on the responsibility and growth of all marketing needs within the real estate sector. When not chasing recruitment fees, he’s most likely chasing gains, or his newest addition to the family!
Michael Woda
Distinctive features throughout and striking white render.
Michael joined GKR as one of our first key hires in 2014, bringing eight years’ experience in property working for leading residential agencies in London. If not in the office hoping for a hole-in-one, you’ll likely find him on the course – aye! Michael launched our Edinburgh office in 2024, and is now recruiting across the North West UK market.
