Mark Scollay

Mark started his career in property recruitment with a FTSE 250 company, having graduated from Nottingham University in Manufacturing and Operations Management. He now has more than 20 years’ experience in executive search in the infrastructure, energy and real estate sectors.

He joined Cripps Sears in 2007 and became a partner in 2008.

On joining Cripps Sears, he comments that he was overwhelmed at the speed with which the business could deliver international (often emerging market) campaigns. Mark highlights that the culture of integration and team ethos is a real motivator for him.

Based in London, the Infrastructure practice integrates with all other Cripps Sears sectors to offer a truly global service. We have placed candidates in these locations.

Unique points of difference

Mark points to the unique way in which the company’s Infrastructure & Real assets practice works cohesively with the investment community, asset management disciplines and directly with major corporates.

“The breadth of networks, established between the partners and consultants of Cripps Sears, derived from 20 years+ experience gives us two advantages.

“First is that we know how the industry has evolved and developed globally. This history translates into deep networks and applies to all sectors – transportation, energy, utility, social or real estate.”

“Second, we understand the complexity of our clients’ businesses and are therefore easy to brief, whether a client is focusing on investing, fundraising, operating assets or constructing them.”

Personal interests

Mark’s leisure interests include cycling, keeping fit, travelling and food. He says it is his ambition to play a musical instrument, since at present his listening skills outstrip his musical abilities.
