In this episode of The Purposeful Strategist, Belden Menkus speaks with Richard Bruce, CEO of Carter Jonas, a leading UK property consultancy working across commercial, residential, rural, planning and development and infrastructure. Richard explains how their LLP structure, management approach, and company culture enables Carter Jonas to bring together expertise from across the property lifecycle to support clients throughout the UK.

In their conversation, they discuss:

How Carter Jonas's LLP structure enables fast, expert decision-making and a culture of accountability and empowerment

The culture of open debate they've cultivated, and Richard's view that when an idea is put forward, constructive challenge is much better than silence.

Why "property is personal" sits at the heart of Carter Jonas's purpose, and how that necessitates a high level of expertise in their services.
