Jacqui Barnes Laing+Simmons Head of People & Growth

One of the key leaders in the Laing+Simmons business, Jacqui works with our other Corporate team leaders to drive the growth of the network and its people through the development of bespoke initiatives and programs which generate meaningful, tangible benefits.

Since assuming responsibility for the growth of the network through the attraction of quality, value-aligned businesses, Laing+Simmons has welcomed many new offices and many talented people to the family. Under her leadership, these businesses and people now benefit from a broad range of support services, training, development and mentoring initiatives to set them on a path to long-term success with us. Our industry-leading recruitment and retention performance are a testament to Jacqui’s leadership.

With Laing+Simmons, Jacqui’s career has come full circle. She is a proud product of the Laing+Simmons Scholarship Program, which provides school leavers with real-world real estate experience. It’s how she was first introduced to the fast-paced industry, and to our brand, in 1999.

Combining vast real estate experience with proven success in recruitment, together spanning over 20 years, Jacqui works with the entire network to ensure our people fulfil their potential and contribute to strong, successful businesses over the long term. Her coordinated and caring approach to supporting everyone in the Laing+Simmons family is equally effective in welcoming new partners to our network.

With a focus “to nurture talent into the brand”, Jacqui exemplifies the Laing+Simmons people-first culture – a culture which set Laing+Simmons apart.
