Having left school at the age of 15 with a passion for sales and business, Reece Mennie has evolved into an established serial entrepreneur, investor and founder with multiple successful businesses under his portfolio.
Dedicated to identifying, honouring and celebrating a cross-section of the globe's most influential and accomplished young business leaders under the age of 40 from a wide range of industries, the Forty under 40 awards recognise those who excel in business growth, professional excellence and community service around the world.
As the winner of both the ‘Real Estate Development' and prestigious ‘First Among Equals' awards, Reece impressed judges with success in building fast-growing property investment consultancy, Hunter Jones Group, and nationwide developer, HJ Collection.
Now positioned as a world leading entrepreneur, Reece has successfully scaled both brands from the ground up into multi-million-pound empires. Where Hunter Jones Group has raised over £300 million in well-structured property bonds to fund the development of over 20,500 units, HJ Collection is quickly accelerating into a leading nationwide property developer, having acquired 15 commercial sites under PDR schemes to develop into affordable homes in high-demand areas across the UK.
Discussing this latest accolade Reece said: "Despite the economic challenges that have impacted the property sector in recent years, the Hunter Jones and HJ Collection team and I have worked incredibly hard to scale both businesses from start-up to industry leading brands.
To win both the Real Estate Development and First Among Equals awards in the Forty under 40 Global Awards is an incredible achievement and one I am extremely proud of, particularly as entrants were judged on a global scale. I am very grateful to the support of my team for making this - and our wider business success - possible."
Based in his homeland of Essex, Reece Mennie also supports local businesses and members of the community, where he works with young and aspiring entrepreneurs through dedicated mentoring sessions.
