Meet The Team
Laurence Gaughan - Director & Co-Founder
Laurence's journey from professional football to business ownership has been shaped by high-performance environments, resilience, and a deep passion for people.
Having had the privilege of playing for some iconic clubs, and representing his country at youth level, he was set for a bright future in football. However, an early retirement at just 21 due to injury led him to pivot toward a new challenge—building a career in construction sales, specialising in fire safety.
Today, as the Co-Founder of Greenberry Recruitment, Laurence brings the same dedication, integrity, and team-first mentality he cultivated on the pitch to his work connecting top talent with forward-thinking businesses. He thrives on driving innovation and making a meaningful impact for both his clients and candidates.
