South West expansion for Rayner Personnel
Led by well-known figure Josh Rayner, Rayner Personnel recently embarked upon a drive to attract Associates to work alongside the leading estate agency and property services organisation on the basis that each Associate would run their own businesses with the support of the Rayner brand and infrastructure.
Already, eight such partners have joined.
Today it’s been announced that the rapidly expanding recruiter has struck a deal with new partners in the South West of England – and it’s a team that will be familiar to agents locally.
Will Smith and Jade Boyles-White are known to many for their Complete estate agency business with branches in Exeter, Newton Abbot, Plymouth, Teignmouth and Bovey Tracey plus a thriving Land and New Homes division, and have secured the South West patch for Rayner.
Boyles-White will continue to run the estate agency business day to day whilst Smith is to move across to the recruitment side of the expanded new group whilst maintaining his ‘rainmaker’ status as originator of many of Complete’s land and new homes deals.
“As a growing estate agency we have often been left disappointed by recruiters, with many being somewhat lacklustre. Recruitment and estate agency involve similar skills to one another and so it makes sense for us to use our industry expertise, experience and contacts to offer an improved, complementary recruitment proposition to estate agencies here in the South West. It makes a lot of sense”, says Jade Boyles-White, Managing Director of Complete Estate Agents.
Will Smith adds “I’m the proud founder of Complete and I remain involved, especially in land acquisition and deal making, but it’s time for me to tackle a new challenge and hence I’m so excited at the prospect of building the Rayner Personnel proposition locally and in offering the same level of recruitment service that I myself would want and expect. I’ll be banging on a few industry friends’ doors soon to listen to how our new venture can help them”.
Architect of the deal, Josh Rayner says “In targeting new territories for our expansion across the UK alongside new partners, I could not have hoped for a better collaboration than with Will and Jade especially as they will continue to run and grow their incredibly successful estate agency in parallel with the new recruitment business. I think we’ll start to see other estate agencies also realise that they are actually best placed to understand the industry, providing the best of what clients and candidates alike want from the hiring process. I look forward to hearing from any that are inspired by what we’ve put together here”.
