Our Team
Jamie Foskett
Jamie's unique advantage as a recruiter is that he draws on the experiences of owning and operating a significant construction fabricating business supplying construction clients, so he knows the sector and has first hand knowledge of the challenges employers face when building teams that fit with their cultures and company ethos. With recruiter skills established in the cut throat London construction environment, his focus is on providing a relationship based service to all our clients and the candidates he works with.
His spare time is split between his rugby mad boys and as an enthusiastic member of his local volunteer fire brigade.
Peter Hart - Founder (Group Managing Director)
Pete’s background prior to establishing Number 8 ,was entirely residential construction. He established and operated a successful high end residential construction business in Auckland New Zealand for 15 years, but moved to the UK to head up a new venture construction business. Between 2002 and 2008 Pete was in charge of the day to day build operations on both development and contract projects.
As Group Managing Director he is responsible for overseeing all day to day operations as well as the ongoing expansion of the group’s activities.
Michael Lynott Group Financial Controller
As the company's Financial Controller, Michael assumes responsibility for two very important aspects of our business. The weekly payroll function and the “money”. Michael brings a wealth of experience to the role with over 30 years looking after the books of various companies with connections to both construction and recruitment agencies. Unfortunately there is often a dark side and Michaels long term support for Brentford FC is an indication that the attention to detail he demonstrates on a day to day basis, has not always been evident in his decision making in the past.
Zinzan Brooke - Founder
Although Zinzan is not involved in the business on a day to day basis, the "leave nothing on the field" ethos he demonstrated as one of New Zealands greatest rugby players, is at the very core of how the business was established and how it operates today.
