London calling - we’re open for business!

Atkins Search is delighted to announce the opening of our new London office, marking a significant milestone in the continued growth and evolution of the business.

For many years, Atkins Search has built a strong reputation as a trusted construction recruitment specialist, supporting clients and candidates across the entire project lifecycle. The launch of our London office represents a natural next step in our growth strategy, allowing us to better serve the thriving construction market across London, the South East and Soutth West.

As demand for specialist construction recruitment services continues to increase, our expanded presence enables us to work even more closely with construction consultancies, contractors, developers and industry professionals, delivering tailored recruitment solutions across both permanent and temporary appointments.

Leading our London office is Regional Director, Mayur Ghedia who will be responsible for building on our growing presence across the capital. Riley Plastow will be working alongside him to help with day to day operations and strength relationships with both clients and candidates across the region.

A Significant Milestone for Atkins Search

A few words from our Managing Director, Antony Rowe, on what this means to him and the wider business:

“This moment marks a significant milestone in the continued growth of Atkins Search, and one that has been part of our long-term vision for several years.

The opening of our London office represents an important step in our journey as a business and reflects the success, growth and reputation we have built within the construction sector. Expanding into the capital has always been a key part of our strategic plans, enabling us to strengthen our presence in one of the UK’s most active and influential construction markets while supporting our growing client and candidate network across the South of England.

We are delighted to say that the transition has started extremely positively. The demand for specialist construction recruitment expertise continues to grow, and our London operation allows us to be even closer to our clients, projects and industry partners. It also provides an excellent platform for us to continue developing new relationships while building on the strong partnerships we have already established throughout the region.

Mirroring the successful model that has driven our Nottingham headquarters, the London office delivers both temporary and permanent recruitment solutions across the entire construction lifecycle. From early-stage design, planning and development through to delivery, completion and project handover, our specialist consultants work collaboratively with clients and candidates to ensure the right people are matched to the right opportunities.

As we continue to grow, our ambition remains the same: to provide a high-quality, relationship-led recruitment service that adds genuine value to both employers and professionals operating within the construction industry. We are excited by the opportunities that lie ahead and look forward to further strengthening our position as one of the UK’s leading construction recruitment specialists.

The launch of our London office also creates exciting opportunities within our own business. As we invest in the next phase of our growth, we are actively looking to speak with ambitious construction recruitment professionals who share our passion for delivering exceptional service and building long-term relationships.

Whether you are an experienced recruiter looking for your next challenge or someone eager to develop a successful career within the construction recruitment sector, we’d love to hear from you. We currently have opportunities available across both our London and Nottingham offices, offering the chance to work alongside an experienced team and support projects across the entire construction lifecycle, from concept through to completion.

With a new office, growing markets and ambitious plans for the future, there has never been a more exciting time to join Atkins Search.”

Leading the Growth of Our London Operation

Commenting on the opening of the new office, Regional Director Mayur said:

“This is a day I’ve been looking forward to for a long time and one that represents a significant milestone, both personally and for Atkins Search as a business.

I’m incredibly proud to be leading our new London office and to have the opportunity to build upon the strong foundations, reputation and relationships that Atkins Search has established across the construction sector over the years. Opening a presence in London is an exciting step forward for the business and reflects our long-term commitment to supporting clients and candidates across one of the most dynamic construction markets in the UK.

Our ambition is clear. We want to continue growing our presence, building lasting partnerships, and delivering exceptional recruitment solutions across the temporary and permanent markets. By combining our specialist industry knowledge with a relationship-led approach, we are committed to helping businesses secure the talent they need while supporting professionals in taking the next step in their careers.

There is a huge amount of opportunity across London and the wider South East, with major projects, investment and development continuing to drive demand for high-quality construction professionals. Alongside this, we are seeing increasing opportunities across Europe, creating new avenues for growth and collaboration. It’s an exciting time for both the industry and our business.

I’m genuinely excited to be working alongside the talented team at Atkins Search as we continue to expand our reach, strengthen our market presence and deliver value to our clients and candidates. We have ambitious plans for the future, and this new office provides the perfect platform from which to build and grow.

Reaching this point has only been possible thanks to the support, encouragement and trust of so many people along the way. I’d like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who has played a part in this journey, whether through supporting the business, working alongside us, or contributing to the relationships that have helped make this next chapter possible.

While opening the London office is a significant achievement, we see it very much as the beginning rather than the destination. The hard work starts now, and we are fully focused on building a successful operation, strengthening our team and continuing to exceed expectations across the markets we serve.

A new office. A new chapter. And some very big ambitions for what comes next.”

Looking Ahead

The opening of our London office is not simply about expanding our footprint. It represents our commitment to growth, our investment in the future of the construction industry and our ambition to become the recruitment partner of choice across the UK.

As we begin this exciting new chapter, we would like to thank our clients, candidates, industry partners and employees for their continued support. We look forward to building new relationships, strengthening existing partnerships and continuing to deliver exceptional recruitment solutions across the construction sector.
