Jake Marks


Director

Recruitment isn't just a job; it's a passion – and one Jake’s been chasing since 2013! After consistently smashing targets placing interim surveyors in the public sector, Jake and his brother decided to take the plunge and launch Marks Consulting Partners in 2015. 

More recently, Jake has established a private consultancy desk focusing on permanent recruitment for building and quantity surveyors.

Toby Marks


Director

Toby has spent over 10 years recruiting professionals across the property and surveying sectors, building strong relationships and a deep understanding of the industry along the way. His focus has always been on connecting the right people with the right opportunities, while keeping things straightforward and effective.

Now, Toby is concentrating on the continued growth of Marks Consulting Partners. He is passionate about developing both experienced and up-and-coming recruiters, creating an environment where people feel valued, supported, and motivated to achieve their goals. Company culture and employee wellbeing sit at the heart of his approach, ensuring the team can thrive both personally and professionally.

Outside the office, Toby is a husband and dad of two. When he does find some free time, he’s usually enjoying good food, listening to music, or attempting DIY projects, often with mixed results.

Brook Weissand


Senior Recruitment Consultant

Brook, affectionately known as the ‘mum’ of our group, recently moved onto the Property & Surveying desk covering the South East, bringing her trademark energy and dedication with her. She originally joined Marks Consulting Partners just over two years ago on the Regeneration & Development desk. With a strong mind and an incredible work ethic, Brook consistently goes above and beyond, taking initiative and showing unwavering dedication in everything she does.

Her determined personality makes her thrive in the recruitment world. Brook knows how to turn any opportunity, whether a challenge or a win, into something positive, always making the most of what comes her way. If she’s not deep in conversation with a candidate, you’ll likely find her raiding the snack drawer or adding goodies to the Ocado shop!

But Brook doesn’t just shine in recruitment. She’s also our (self-appointed and much-loved) Social Media Manager, a role she may secretly prefer! Brook runs all of our social media channels and is the creative force behind the quirky, engaging videos that have helped us attract new talent. Thanks to her artistic flair and background in textiles, our online presence is becoming a real standout in the industry.

Matthew Newton


Managing Consultant

Matthew joined Marks Consulting Partners eight years ago as a trainee with zero experience, unless you count trying to convince his mates to play golf with him as headhunting. Fast forward to today, Matthew is now a Managing Consultant specialising in the property and surveying industry, helping public sector client’s source technical candidates.

With a degree in Psychology, he likes to think he has a decent read on people. And this does show with how closely he works with his clients and candidates to make recruiting as smooth as possible.

Ethan Mooney


Managing Recruitment Consultant

Ethan specialises in recruiting across the Regeneration and Development sector, supporting public sector clients in finding the very best technical property professionals. His focus areas include Development, Regeneration, Planning, and Estates/General Practice.

With over four years dedicated exclusively to this sector, Ethan has developed a strong understanding of the market and the intricacies of the roles he recruits for. His network spans from junior professionals through to directors, and his straightforward approach has made him a trusted point of contact for both clients and candidates alike.

Ethan is hands-on throughout the entire recruitment cycle, guiding people from the very first conversation, through interviews, and all the way to onboarding. His consistency, commitment, and depth of knowledge have established him as a go-to recruiter within Regeneration and Development.

Sadie Haralambous


Recruitment Consultant

Since joining in 2023, Sadie has proved her ability to adapt quickly. She initially started off recruiting for HR and built her knowledge in the sector. Soon after, she joined the Property and Surveying team for the North/Midlands and quickly became an irreplaceable part of the team, proving that no challenge is too big. Since the change, Sadie has provided a breath of fresh air to an otherwise male-dominated industry.

Sadie has shown she is more than just a recruiter to her candidates and often provides added support on a personal level. Her kindness never goes unappreciated and is reflected in her number of 5-star reviews.

Never short of a funny comment or accidental one-liner, Sadie keeps the office laughing nonstop, whether she means to or not, we’re still not sure! Her combination of hard work and positive outlook makes her second to none. She always holds both clients’ and candidates’ needs in the highest regard, making her the go-to recruiter when it comes to Property and Surveying in the North.

Joshua studied Law at University and was for 12 years a Parish Councillor in his hometown of Milton Keynes chairing the organisation for 8 years.

With a love of all things political and powerful cars Joshua spends his time looking after his cat Sam, holidaying in America, and doing lengths at the swimming pool.

Joshua Bourne


Recruitment Consultant

She recruits within the General Practice and Development sector, supporting private sector clients in sourcing high-quality General Practice Surveyors, Development Surveyors, and Asset Managers across all levels.
