Operations Director for Exciting New Principle Place Development

Principal place is a new building development based in Shoreditch in Central London. Developed by Brookfield, this mixed-use development includes a 600,000 sq ft, 15 storey office building with nearly an acre of roof terraces which acts as Amazon’s new HQ; numerous restaurants, shops and a boutique gym as well as a 50 storey residential building due for completion in 2019.

Brookfield approached Maxwell Stephens to support exclusively in the recruitment of an Operations Manager for this exciting new development.

“I have known Peter professionally for over ten years and have used his services quite extensively. Maxwell Stephens have a good reputation for providing quality ‘white collar’ candidates in the London property industry. I have just placed a new Operations Manager within my portfolio through Peter. My view would be that Maxwell Stephens have a good understanding of management and operational roles within property.

Peter and his Team take time to understand your requirements and will seek to review this on a step by step basis. I have rarely not taken up on an offer to meet a recommended candidate through them. Peter has an extensive network through the property management industry and pro-actively promotes best practice through newsletters, briefings and surveys, sharing current market knowledge and benchmarking salaries which is all very useful. I am happy to use Maxwell Stephens as a sole agent.

Maxwell Stephens may approach a potential candidate speculatively if a role may appear to be something of interest to them. I always sense there is a personal approach by the Team and a desire to get things right for both recruiter and candidate alike.

Just to add that Maxwell Stephens found me my current role three years ago and I have been very happy with it.”
