Both Jamie and Marcus are well respected figureheads in our industry and I have no doubt that both will provide an invaluable contribution to LandAid moving forwards. It has been a pleasure to represent the charity and both Paul Morrish, Chief Executive of LandAid and Susan Hickey have been a joy to work with. We look forward to continuing to support LandAid for years to come”.
Paul Morrish, Chief Executive, LandAid says:
“Jamie and the Granger Reis team worked very closely with us to understand the brief deeply. In doing so, they helped us get a better grip on what we really needed. Their reach across the industry helped identify an extraordinary and impressive range of talented professionals keen to join LandAid as volunteer committee members – and in a way we could never have achieved alone. Jamie at Granger Reis showed genuine insight in our discussions and deliberations helping us make two outstanding appointments – Jamie and Marcus not only bring their own hard-won expertise to the charity, but also fresh-eyes, curiosity and passion. The only shame was not to have been able to appoint more of the great people who applied!”
