With 30 years of experience across the Built Environment and Infrastructure sectors, Giles is a Chartered Professional (MRICS/FRCSA) specialising in executive search. Giles partners directly with leaders of boutique and SME consultancies, implementing discreet search methodologies to secure top-tier delivery, commercial, and advisory talent.

Beyond executive search, Giles is deeply passionate about business growth and commercial strategy.
