About Josh

Josh founded GS2 after selling his previous recruitment business and has worked within the industry since 2010. Initially starting out predominantly within IT recruitment, Josh moved on to HSE and HSEQ where he progressed through the company, completing the sale of the business in 2020.

Josh founded GS2 in May 2022 with the purpose of connecting those that believe in leaving the world better than they found it, focusing on the rising need for positive social and environmental reform.

Growing up Josh wanted to be a footballer, however, he gave up on the professional dream after a year at the age of 19 - he wasn’t good enough! Josh did, however, continue to play semi professionally for over 10 years, making it to the first round of the FA cup two years in a row, live on BT Sport!

Josh has two children, a gorgeous curly haired son called Hugo and an incredible step son called Oscar who suffers from a condition called Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). 

Josh regularly raises money for SMA charities by taking part in various activities, more recently completing the South Downs Challenge, the London Marathon and The Cleveland Way.
