Anthony, a second generation surveyor, started his career as a trainee in the Lancashire office of Bernard Thorpe & Partners (now DTZ), at the age of 17. He moved to London two years later, to the City firm, Howell, Brooks & Partners, then to the estates department of the Marley Group, and finally to the Mayfair firm, Osborne King & Megran (now Fletcher King), before founding Ratcliffes in 1970.

Anthony pioneered the innovation of tax transparent commercial property investment syndications, a new property investment product, in 1990. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors in 2008, by way of eminent nomination, in recognition of his contribution to property.

Anthony is a Trustee and Member of Council at the Royal Albert Hall, where he currently chairs the Fabric Committee, which has responsibility for all property renovation and development works at the Hall. He is also a Trustee of the London Playing Fields Foundation, which, since 1890, has worked to preserve and protect London’s sports grounds, and where he advises on property matters.

Rupert is a third-generation Chartered Surveyor, who graduated with a Masters in Real Estate Management from Oxford Brookes University, following a Masters in Economic History from The University of Edinburgh, where he spent his third year studying at L’Università di Bologna, after receiving an Erasmus Scholarship. 

Rupert worked for King Sturge LLP (now Jones Lang LaSalle) in Public Sector Consultancy, Valuation, Asset Management and Investment; in the West End, City of London and Prague; before leaving to set up his own firm LONPROP in 2011 – a residential acquisition and development specialist focused on prime central London – which he continues to run alongside Ratcliffes.

Rupert worked for Ratcliffes as a teenager for pocket money, igniting his interest in property, before joining some twenty years later as an Associate Partner and, in 2022, accepting the offer of full Partnership.

Jane started her career in estate agency before moving to a practice of chartered surveyors in Lincolnshire. A move to London saw senior administration roles for both a private property consultancy and a major social housing provider. 



After taking time out to raise a family, Jane joined Ratcliffes in 2019, where she is responsible for secretarial services, office management and administration.

Guillaume began his career in the south of France, working in a family-run property management business, before relocating to London in 2008. After gaining UK experience in the retail and hospitality sectors, he joined a family-owned property consultancy based in Holland Park, where he managed residential lettings, sales, and relocations for a niche clientele over six years.

Subsequently, Guillaume took on a pivotal role in a media and publishing company founded by two brothers. As the first Head of Finance and Administration and later CFO, he played a key part in scaling the business and spearheading its expansion across EMEA, North America, and APAC. His contributions culminated in a successful merger and acquisition by a multimillion-dollar company and left after the completion of the transition.

Most recently, Guillaume served as the first Finance Director for an events and hospitality business. In late 2024, he decided to join Ratcliffes, returning to his roots in a small, family-oriented business culture.

Throughout his career, Guillaume has developed a specialisation in establishing efficient processes and overseeing both the day-to-day operations and long-term strategic initiatives.
