The people here at BK played a big part in me joining the team and continue to be a big reason as to why I’ve stayed. We’re truly a team who cares for one another and want to help those around us grow, at Bruton Knowles you can be whoever you want to be. The likes of Nigel Billingsley and James Bailey see the potential and skills in people and provide us with the training and support necessary to progress these. 

BK have also done a great job of embracing that times have changed and everybody works differently, in particular with the flexible working scheme I’ve had endless positive feedback from this. I can also say myself that it has really helped me create a positive work/life balance, as a single parent the flexibility of working at BK is a big thing for me.

Gill Froud, Partner, Head of National U&I Team South

I was initially attracted by the ‘work your way’ flexible approach to working. This is particularly important for a modern workforce and means that there you trust your team to get the job done. I have stayed at Bruton Knowles as I enjoy the variety of the work and managing a broad spectrum of projects from CPOs to DCOs to TWAOs, I also enjoy working with some of the best colleagues in the industry and am always impressed by the depth and breadth of knowledge we have here at Bruton Knowles.

Sam Dobney, Partner, National U&I Team

I enjoy the diverse nature of the work and very much enjoy the freedom of being able to work in whatever way I want regarding hours, workplace etc. There is an ability to progress as much as you want to at BK and I hope to do that.

Ryan Dunphy, Associate, National Valuation Team

The apprenticeship course on offer was the main reason I joined Bruton Knowles. When I was leaving school there wasn’t a lot of this about and it really helped me bridge the gap between education and employment.

Phoebe Harmer, Graduate Surveyor & Commercial Property Agent

I had friends who worked here and vouched for BK’s reputation as a great place to be with great teamwork and ethic, and no micro managing – you are trusted to do the work and given the opportunities to progress. Everyone has the same interest to make working life easier and simpler for each other and they’re great at giving you responsibility to show them what they know you can do.

Adam Taylor, Associate, National U&I Team North

I feel I have benefited significantly from investment in employee training. I successfully passed the APC to become a Chartered Surveyor on my first attempt, thanks to invaluable support from colleagues across the firm. Additionally, I’ve had the opportunity to closely collaborate with equity partners over the years, deepening my expertise in areas of the profession, in particular, within valuation. Our firm boasts a strong skills base which has been instrumental in my professional development. In 2020, we launched our National Valuation Team with a technology focus. The substantial investment and training in these new technologies have transformed our work processes and have significantly enhanced the service we offer to clients.

Nicholas Broadway, Partner, National Valuation Team

They have a good reputation in the industry, I started out at Bruton Knowles just doing work experience, so I knew it was a good place to work before I started here full-time. I had such a good experience I came back as an apprentice and progressed with them to my position now.

Will Matthews, Senior Associate, Development & Planning

I returned to Bruton Knowles in January last year and the company truly has just got better and better over the years. The flexible working style of BK has allowed me to achieve a really positive work life balance and makes the job really enjoyable. I also knew a fair few people who still worked here before I came back who vouched for how good the working conditions were at BK.
