Jamie is the Chair and Co-Founder of the Livingston James Group. Passionate about the impact of our advice on the lives and performance of our clients and candidates, Jamie is responsible for ensuring the Group’s services and strategy evolve in line with its purpose and values and that it continues to deliver value for the benefit of its key stakeholders.
A graduate of both the University of Glasgow and Toulouse Le Mirail, Jamie spent his early career with a multinational recruitment firm. He co-founded Livingston James Group in January 2010, leading the buyout of co-founder Andy Rogerson in 2019 and the transition to Employee Ownership in January 2023.
Beyond the business world, a former club captain at West of Scotland Rugby Club, Jamie keeps his hand in with the sport vicariously through his son, and in support of the Wooden Spoon Charity where he was Regional Chair for 13 years. He is currently Chair of Columba 1400, a charity that provides transformative values based leadership experiences for young people and the key adults in their lives. At home, he and his wife, Chloe, are active members of their local church and lead community initiatives ‘Project Present’ and ‘Back to School’ when not acting as taxi drivers for their fast growing and ever logistically demanding children.
