Our story

Established in 2024 by our Founders Ben Gatt & George Jackson, who have worked together since 2016, Kanvas have strategically partnered with Fit Out & Design companies to help them grow their own successful businesses across London.

Simply put, we are Fit Out staffing experts, offering a no-nonsense service & honest solutions to our clients & candidates who place their trust in our hands.

Famous in our sector for going above & beyond in a (lets be honest) murky industry that always under delivers, which is why we’ve stuck around so long in our quest to change the views of our industry.

We assure it in ourselves, connections, candidates and clients. No lip service. No BS.

People trust & work with us because we’re honest about what’s possible in both their hiring process and their careers.

In Ben & George you will find two of the most “unsalesy” people possible, it simply isn’t in our nature.

About Us

Ben

Bens passion for all things Design & Fit Out began back in the early 2000’s when working as a carpenter on London’s ever changing sky line for leading Fit Out Main Contractors where he was involved in intricate Commercial Fit Out projects.

Beginning his journey in recruitment in 2012 by accident (be sure to ask him about this) and quickly embarking on a successful career where he has nurtured & grown those closest to him, both inside & outside of the industry.

Known for wearing his heart on his sleeve & his no-nonsense approach, with Ben you will only ever get sound & honest advice.

When not working positions for his clients you’ll more than likely find Ben in the gym taking multiple selfies to stick “on the gram”.

A keen new music enthusiast you’ll find Ben posting about his new findings most days on his @BenFitOut Instagram page.

George

George started his working life as a commercial floor fitter before being intrigued by the recruitment industry and what it could offer him in terms of future development.

Beginning his career in Recruitment in 2016, where fate would bring him & Ben together for the first time, through a mutual contact & long-term friend of both of the chaps.

A quick learner and real enthusiast for the industry it wasn’t long before George was rising through the ranks and winning over some of London’s most prestigious Fit Out contractors earning himself a solid reputation as somebody that not only listens but will always deliver results with empathy and care.

Outside of filling the hardest of opportunities George can be found on a golf course, DJing, Producing & Releasing music alongside some of the electronic music industry’s biggest names and travelling the world in search of the finest cuisines.

What our clients say

Chloe Xidhas: BW: Workplace Experts

"Ben was amazing, I was very dubious of using an agent at first, but he really came up with the goods. Kept in constant contact and put me in touch with just about every top firm in London, sending me only to interviews that were mutually beneficial for me and the employer. Absolutely no time wasting. Interviews came flying in and he was on hand to give advice for every single one. Fantastic experience and I am now happily placed in a role that is more than I could have ever asked for. I would recommend to anyone. Thanks Ben."

"George was in touch at a period I was searching for other jobs and speaking with a few recruiters, he was the only one who was honest and answered any question I had without trying to pull the wool over my eyes, I really appreciated how genuine he was and how available George was. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to make a move or wanting to hire someone. He will find the right place that suits you and your needs and vise versa with an employee looking to hire someone - Thank you George!"

"We have used Benjamin for a few vacancies within our Delivery team now. He has always succeeded in offering us good candidates. I feel this is because he understands our requirements and the type of person we are looking for. He is also very proactive in making sure those candidates understand us and our business."

"I changed my job about a month ago and George was my recruiter. I had a chat with George about my cv and what type of work I was looking for. George was very professional and understanding about my concerns as I haven’t changed my job for over twenty years. George has come up with some positions and he advised me which position would be the most suitable based on my experience and qualifications. I had my interview with one of D&B directors and went very well to which I had an offer and joined this company earlier in October. George has been excellent throughout my process of moving over to new employer. I believe if it wasn’t for George’s recommendation and his hard work I probably wouldn’t have had the opportunity to move to my current position. Very pleased with my job. THANKS GEORGE"
