Our Managing Director, David Baker, has a few words to share as we hit an exciting milestone here at Atkinson Baker! 👇

​🎉 What a milestone! We are officially 3 months into trading here at Atkinson Baker. I want to say a massive thank you to all the candidates and clients who have been a part of this incredible journey so far.

​One of the biggest takeaways for me over these last 90 days has been the conversations. Approaching these chats from a business owner's perspective has completely changed the dynamic—they feel so much more honest, pure, and grounded in real partnership. 🤝💼

​🎙️ Speaking of great conversations, I am so thankful to everyone who has listened to Episode 1 of the Built on People podcast featuring Jake Rogers at Jack Rafter. The support has been amazing!

​If you haven't caught it yet, the episode is now officially live on Spotify:
🎧 Listen here: https://open.spotify.com/show/0pREYLCRryrrFtJQNDK0zV?si=GOUMvmZNSMWOkiqLm5ZFqA

​🏗️ Coming up next: This week, I sit down with Lee Drew at Arazu Construction. We explore the industry from the main contractor's side and get real about the heavy pressures that come with being a Construction Director. You won't want to miss this one!

​🗓️ Mark your calendars: The new episode goes live next week, Wednesday the 18th at 12:00 PM!

04/03/2026

It’s finally out! 🎧 Episode 1 of the Built on People podcast is officially live right now.

​A massive thank you to Jake Rogers for being the very first guest. We had a completely unfiltered chat about what it actually takes to run a business in the construction game—the good, the bad, and the extremely stressful.

​Incredibly proud of this first episode and love for you all to give it a listen.

​You can stream it right now here:

🎙️ Host David Baker welcomes Jake Rogers, owner of Jack Rafter Ltd, to discuss the realities of running a construction business beyond the “highlight reel.” 🏗️

👨‍👦 Jake shares where he is in life—raising two young boys, balancing family plans, and feeling settled after seven tough years in the industry—and explains carpentry in simple terms in our ⏱️ 60-second challenge.

📈 He recounts registering the company in 2017, moving from domestic work into commercial carpentry, pursuing accreditations, and taking the risk to avoid future regrets. Jake describes being blindsided by personal financial guarantees, reputation risk, and cash flow shocks, especially around COVID when clients went bust, leading him to trust his gut and walk away from bad contractors. 🛑

⚖️ He outlines the biggest stresses—constant calls, staffing, and client demands—and the rewards: flexibility and time with his children, plus building a respectful, non-hierarchical culture. 🤝

💡 He advises others to “just go for it,” build work on the side, and commit to hard early hours. He also generously agrees to support our chosen charity at our clay shoot and dinner event for Southern Wellness Action Group - SWAG later this year, a mental health charity for construction. 🎗️🎯

🎧 Full podcast out tomorrow at 12pm! 🕛

Atkinson Baker – Construction Recruitment You Can Trust.

23/12/2025

🎄 Thank You from Atkinson Baker Group

As we approach the end of the year, we want to take a moment to say thank you.

Thank you to everyone we’ve spoken to since launching Atkinson Baker Group this month.

Thank you to the clients who’ve trusted us with opportunities so early in our journey.

And thank you to everyone who’s engaged, shared kind words, or simply acknowledged what we’re building.

2026 will be our first full year in business — and we’re under no illusions that it will be a challenging one.

But we believe that nothing meaningful is built without hard work, consistency, and accountability.

As a business, we’re fully committed to:
- Proving our value to the construction industry
- Putting people first in every interaction
- Earning trust through delivery, not promises

Our ambition is clear: to become one of the UK’s go-to, trusted recruitment partners in construction — and we’re excited about the growth, learning, and impact that lies ahead.

Thank you for being part of the start of our journey.

Merry Christmas all & a Happy New Year

Here’s to 2026. 🚀

Most construction hiring processes were never designed — they just evolved.

The Construction Talent Playbook introduces a clear recruitment lifecycle model:
Attract → Select → Offer → Onboard → Retain

Each stage has a measurable impact on delivery, retention and performance.

When these stages are designed properly, recruitment becomes predictable — not reactive.

This framework sits at the heart of how we support construction businesses at Atkinson Baker Group.
