“The Talent Motion team understand the real estate business and how it benefits engineers moving from traditional building services consultants. They can see how exposure to all stages of the property life cycle gives engineers a better understanding of building services that cannot be learnt by only completing the up-front design and installation. Having set up this division 10 years ago all my team have been sourced from Stuart and the team, they understand the role requirements and only send through those for interview who will be a good fit. Our team revenue continues to grow as the real estate market wakes up to the realisation that the built environment contributes significantly to the global carbon footprint and it is primarily engineering solutions that will help to minimise this impact!”

It’s different and offers a change of pace which all of which are positives. Stuart has incredible contacts and has certainly built an excellent reputation in the industry.
Stuart has placed me in my new role and also keeps in touch regularly see how I am fairing. The efforts are recognised and the professionalism is evident.”
