Dove & Hawk Acquired by AMC Private Equity, Joining Linsco to create a powerful force in UK Property and Construction Recruitment
Dove & Hawk, a specialist recruitment consultancy focused on the UK property sector, today announces its acquisition by AMC Private Equity. Dove & Hawk will now become a part of the Linsco group, following Linsco’s own acquisition by AMC Private Equity in late 2025.
This strategic move brings together Dove & Hawk’s deep expertise in property recruitment with Linsco’s 47 years of leadership in construction, civil engineering, housing, fit-out, and facilities management. Together, under AMC Private Equity’s investment and strategic support, the combined business will offer enhanced talent solutions across the interconnected property and construction ecosystem.
Dove & Hawk has established a strong reputation for connecting clients with high-calibre talent in areas including estate agency, build to rent, new homes, property management, and business support roles. The acquisition will enable significant expansion of Dove & Hawk’s service lines into broader construction-related disciplines while accelerating regional growth across the UK. Currently London-centric, the business plans to leverage Linsco’s established regional presence and infrastructure to better serve clients and candidates nationwide.
Clients can expect greater access to talent pools, faster and more accurate placements, richer market intelligence, and strategic advisory support. Candidates will benefit from a wider range of career opportunities across property, real estate, and construction, delivered with the same personalised, culture-focused approach that has defined both brands.
Quote from James Huntly, Managing Director, Dove & Hawk:
“We are incredibly excited to join forces with Linsco. After 20 years of independent ownership, this acquisition marks a significant milestone for Dove & Hawk, allowing us to expand our specialist services across the property and construction sectors and extend our reach even further regionally across the UK. The next 5 years are going to be the most exciting and enjoyable journey of scale. Our clients and candidates will reap the benefits of deeper networks, enhanced resources, and accelerated growth while continuing to receive the exceptional service they know and trust.”
Quote from Natalie Evans, Managing Director, Linsco:
“Welcoming Dove & Hawk into the Linsco family strengthens our position as a comprehensive recruitment partner for the built environment. Together we can deliver even greater value to clients operating across property and construction.”
Quote from Jeff Crudgington, AMC Private Equity:
“This acquisition aligns perfectly with AMC Private Equity’s focus on the property and recruitment sectors. By combining Dove & Hawk’s property expertise with Linsco’s longstanding construction strength, we are creating a platform with significant growth potential, including expanded regional coverage and broader service offerings.”
The Dove & Hawk and Linsco brands will continue to operate with their established identities and teams, while benefiting from shared resources, best practices, and the financial backing of AMC Private Equity.
