About David Leslie Ltd
David Leslie Ltd is a family-run construction recruitment consultancy specialising in the permanent recruitment of professionals across the Construction, Fit-Out, and M&E Building Services sectors.
Built on over 20 years of industry experience, we work in partnership with contractors throughout the UK, helping them secure high-calibre talent across project delivery, commercial, technical, pre-construction, and leadership functions.
We believe recruitment should be built on trust, honesty, and long-term relationships. Our approach is personal, consultative, and focused on quality over quantity, ensuring every introduction is carefully considered and aligned to both technical requirements and company culture.
We support a wide range of contractors operating across sectors including Commercial, Residential, Industrial, Education, Healthcare, Retail, Leisure, Pharmaceutical, Data Centres, Public Sector, and Cat A and Cat B Fit-Out projects.
David Leslie Ltd is more than a company name; it is a reflection of the values that underpin everything we do. The business was named after two people who played an important role in founder Rob Green’s life: his late uncle David and his father, Leslie. Those family roots continue to shape the way we work today, placing integrity, loyalty, respect, and genuine relationships at the heart of every client and candidate partnership.
Founded in 2022, David Leslie Ltd builds upon a construction recruitment career that began in 2004 and more than two decades of successfully supporting contractors across the UK.
Whether supporting a growing SME, an owner-managed business, or a national contractor, our commitment remains the same: to provide a professional, transparent, and dependable recruitment service that delivers lasting results.
Tailored Recruitment Solutions
Every contractor is different, which is why we do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to recruitment. We take the time to understand your business, projects, culture, and long-term objectives before introducing candidates. Whether you are looking to strengthen your pre-construction team, project delivery function, commercial department, or senior leadership team, our focus is always on quality, suitability, and long-term success.
Industry Expertise & Insight
With a construction recruitment career that began in 2004, founder Rob Green brings over 20 years of specialist industry experience to every assignment. Having worked exclusively within the construction and built environment sectors throughout his career, Rob understands the challenges contractors face when hiring. This experience allows David Leslie Ltd to provide informed advice, realistic market insight, and carefully selected candidates who can make a genuine impact.
Relationship-Led Recruitment
We believe successful recruitment is built on trust, honesty, and long-term relationships. Our approach is never about sending large volumes of CVs or making speculative introductions. Instead, we focus on understanding both clients and candidates, ensuring every recommendation is made with care, professionalism, and a commitment to achieving the right long-term outcome for everyone involved.
