Middleton Jones

Middleton Jones is a specialist commercial property recruitment firm founded in 2014 by Rob Pratt. The company partners exclusively with owner-led investors, developers, and independent consultancies across the UK, focusing on placing senior leaders, fee earners, and specialist hires that materially shape business outcomes. With over 100 placements since 2014 and 15 years of deep commercial property specialism, Middleton Jones operates a low-volume, high-precision search model built on genuine relationships rather than database keyword searches. The firm distinguishes itself through retained and exclusive work, accessing a discreet network of candidates rarely found on job boards.

Middleton Jones specialises in recruiting across multiple commercial property sectors. For real estate investors and developers, the firm places talent in investment and acquisition, asset management, fund management, development management, capital raising, and investor relations roles. For commercial property consultancies, Middleton Jones recruits senior fee earners and business generators across lease advisory, valuation (Redbook), rating, development consultancy, property management, building consultancy, and agency functions covering industrial, office, and retail sectors.

The company operates throughout the UK, serving entrepreneurial firms where hiring decisions are made by principals rather than committees. Middleton Jones differentiates itself through 15 years of sector-specific expertise spanning every major commercial property function, from agency to asset management and valuation to development. Clients choose Middleton Jones for its commitment to discretion, long-term relationships, and deep specialist knowledge over transactional placements. The firm welcomes confidential conversations with both hiring businesses and commercial property professionals at all career stages.
