Harvey Gretton, Managing Director
Introduction
In 2002 I felt there was an opportunity to create a search and selection firm within the real estate and finance industries which was entirely devoted to building long term relationships with its clients. Many recruitment agencies talk about fostering relationships with their clients, but very few actually deliver this.
“Blayze Group was one of a very few companies which actually grew during the recent downturn and our devotion to growing our business within our core range of clients is testament to this. We continue to set ourselves apart from the rest by adopting a different way of working.”
“Blayze Group is a company of consummate professionals who are refreshingly straight forward and honest. Their hardworking attitude has contributed directly to the bottom line of the business by finding us
the best people.”
Finance Director, Berkeley Group PLC
A different approach...
Blayze Group was set up in 2002 in order to fill a gap in the
market for a relationship orientated search and selection
consultancy within the real estate and finance industry.
Our growth is a direct result of our continued ability to grow our client
relationships by helping them gain a competitive advantage through
consultative and bespoke talent acquisition services.
The real estate industry is a highly competitive sector where every
single employee can have a huge impact on a business’s profitability.
Today, the retention of high quality staff is as important as the initial
sourcing of talent.
Therefore our truly consultative approach, where we understand our
client’s and candidate’s short and long term objectives, has proved to
be a highly successful way of providing the highest quality and
retainable talent. We consistently enable our clients to dramatically
improve their attrition rates. For example when we began working
with one client their attrition rates were 70% but after 5 years of a
close working relationship these rates have reduced to 20%.
Our ability to understand our clients’ businesses and translate their
requirements into an effective search and selection programme
largely comes down to our experience. Many of the Blayze Group
team have at least 8 years experience in the real estate sector,
something which is highly unique for our industry.
Today, Blayze Group is the preeminent search and selection firm
within the real estate and finance sector. We will continue to grow
and strengthen our client’s businesses and by doing this, we will
continue to grow our business in line with their needs.
“I was taken back how consultative Blayze Group’s approach was; their focus on the details of my skills and experience was meticulous. They carry a lot of weight within their sector and employers seemed to recognise that Blayze work with a different echelon
of candidates.”

The Blayze Difference - Our Specialist Teams.
Blayze Group provides tailored services to clients through ten specialist teams, each dedicated and experienced in their particular discipline;
Design & Technical
Sales & Marketing Accounting & Finance
Architecture & Interiors
Engineering
Technical Surveying & Project Management
Construction
General Practice
Business Support
Land & Planning
Detailed knowledge and experience of the UK and International Real
Estate industry is vital to source the highest calibre talent for any role.
Blayze Group have developed their position as a leading recruitment
firm in the industry by structuring the business into specialist teams for
each sector within Real Estate.
These ten teams or ‘disciplines’ cover every major sector of the industry
and enable us to provide expert and specialist advice for our clients.
Within each team our consultants have specific experience of the sec-
tor, many having worked within it for close to a decade and becoming
authorities in their field.
This is a key difference for Blayze – a real ‘hands-on’, working knowledge
of the sector which, when combined with our consultative way of
working ensures that we can provide a truly unique service. It also helps
provide a detail-driven approach, enabling us to intimately understand
the candidates and the sector in which clients operate to deliver them
ongoing success.
Locations - We have a presence covering the entire UK, with Offices in London, Manchester and the Midlands.
