Grant Kaveney is the Founding Director of GKR, with a long-standing track record in specialist property recruitment and business growth.
After successfully scaling a recruitment business in South Africa, Grant launched GKR in 2010 with a clear ambition to elevate the property recruitment market. Before founding GKR, he worked within UK and international recruitment divisions, specialising in property recruitment alongside roles in media, financial, and general sales sectors.
Under Grant’s leadership, GKR has continued to evolve, including the successful rebrand from GKR London to GKR International, reflecting the firm’s expanding global footprint and international focus. Grant remains focused on building a high-performing, globally relevant recruitment business that delivers long-term value for clients and candidates.
