Jonathan brings over 20 years’ experience across property, finance, and business development, with a strong track record in identifying opportunities, structuring deals, and driving commercial performance. He has worked with some of the region’s most highly regarded family-run housing developers, including Hopkins Homes, Hills Residential and Mulberry Homes. His role has centred on achieving sales targets, driving site performance, and supporting developers in maintaining consistent sales momentum across multiple schemes.

Prior to his career in property, Jonathan held senior roles within financial services and trading businesses. As Director of Business Development at Recipco Capacity Exchange Ltd, he played a key role in scaling the business internationally, supporting expansion into London, Vancouver and Beijing. He established relationships with C-level executives and helped form strategic alliances with multinational corporations, law firms, and financial institutions, while contributing to broader growth and investment strategy.

He also managed high-value trading portfolios specialising in interest rate futures, applying a disciplined, analytical approach to risk management and decision-making. Within Stringer & Kennington, Jonathan leads on land sourcing, landowner relationships, deal structuring, and commercial strategy - ensuring opportunities are carefully assessed and positioned to maximise value.

His background combines commercial deal-making with analytical discipline, bringing a structured, results-driven approach to land promotion.

Matthew brings extensive technical expertise across architecture, construction, and residential development, with a career spanning both design and delivery. He was appointed as a Technical Coordinator at Hopkins Homes, where he was responsible for managing the detailed design and technical delivery of multiple residential schemes, covering all aspects of technical delivery, including design coordination, planning compliance, consultant management, and on-site problem-solving.

Working within a business delivering over 1,000 homes per year across more than 30 active sites, Matthew personally coordinated seven developments comprising approximately 1,200 plots. These ranged from traditional housing to mid-rise apartment schemes and bespoke units, requiring a broad and adaptable technical approach.

Operating at the centre of the development lifecycle, he worked closely with land, planning, commercial, sales, construction, and customer care teams, gaining a comprehensive understanding of how successful schemes are conceived, designed, and delivered in practice.

Earlier in his career, Matthew worked at Hoopers Architects and KLH Architects and spent time at Historic England, contributing to heritage-led projects, building recording, and conservation work, including grant-funded schemes - experience that is particularly valuable when working with sensitive or constrained sites.

Following his time at Hopkins Homes, he established and now runs MJK Building Contractors Ltd and MJK Architectural Design Ltd, bringing hands-on experience in construction, architectural design, and project delivery. This ensures that schemes are not only policy-compliant, but practical, viable, and deliverable in real-world conditions.

Matthew holds a First Class Honours degree in Architectural Technology and a distinction at MSc level in Conservation of Buildings from Anglia Ruskin University. His expertise ensures that sites are not only viable on paper, but deliverable in practice - a critical distinction in successful land promotion.
