James Griffin

Construction & Property

James has the longest standing client relationships in the Caribbean construction market and is known personally by most of the main contractors working the islands. His book is senior and technical rather than trade: the people who price the job, plan it, coordinate the design and run the site. Several of the packages he works are tax free, which changes the maths for a candidate considerably.

In James's words
“Island construction is unforgiving. Materials arrive by boat, the weather sets the programme and the good people already know each other. You do not recruit into that from a database, you recruit into it from relationships.”
