Our People

---

Born and raised in Oxford, Dan is a proud fiancé and Dad to two boys. With a decade's experience in recruitment, he's developed a deep understanding of the construction industry. Dan’s recruitment journey began in 2015 in Central London. 

After several successful years in London, Dan returned to his hometown of Oxford and in early 2024, following a decade in the industry—and after a 3-month adventure traveling the world with his family—he decided the time was right to start his own venture.
 

 Just six months in, Dan teamed up with James, as they shared a common vision to create something more comprehensive. Together, they founded Reginald Gray, offering a turnkey, white-collar service solution across London and the South." 

 Outside of work, Dan is a passionate traveller and foodie, with some of his favourite culinary destinations including Italy, Thailand, Brazil, and Western Australia. As he approaches his 40s, Dan has also taken up road and trail running, with ambitious plans to participate in major events in 2025/6 

James, originally from Oxford, began his professional journey as an electrical engineer, specialising in high-end residential projects. His career took a turn in 2007 when he ventured into construction recruitment after traveling the world. Settling in London allowed him to build a robust network within the high-end refurbishment and fit-out market, an area in which he has since become a leading expert. 

In 2016, he leveraged his expertise by starting his own business, RSR Associates Ltd. Now back in Oxford, James is embarking on a new chapter with the establishment of Reginald Gray, aiming to further enrich his extensive network across London and the South. 

Outside of work, he is a dedicated husband and father of three, a passionate  gardener, fisherman and classic car racing driver.

  Born and raised in Oxford, Lucas developed a strong interest in psychology and human behaviour, which led him to pursue an undergraduate degree in the field.

After completing his studies, Lucas transitioned into a career in sales, where he honed his communication and client relationship skills. 

Through mutual connections, he met Dan and James, who recognised his ability to bring a youthful, psychological-based approach to the team.

Lucas’s blend of analytical thinking, empathy, and fresh perspective makes him a perfect fit for the team, where he thrives in offering a thoughtful and innovative approach to recruitment. 

Outside of work, Lucas is a keen golfer, spending most of his weekends traveling the country to explore new courses.
