Peace brings over five years of experience in the environmental construction sales. He began in face-to-face sales, moved into construction recruitment, and later worked with high-growth startups.

Most recently, he’s focused on solar storage and solar-sharing technology, working closely with developers and architects across the UK’s residential high-rise sector.

One challenge he often noticed in the industry was how difficult and time consuming project pricing could be. When he discovered BuildPartner, which solves that exact problem, he made it his mission to join the company.

Outside of work, Peace enjoys trying a bit of everything, travelling, snowboarding, chess, pondering on life’s big questions, or getting lost in some anime.

Tommy manages social media, content creation, and email marketing, blending the science of buyer psychology with the art of communication.

Outside of work, he’s an independent author and has edited over 200 books for other writers, though much less these days, since his children’s activity schedule requires a full-time logistics manager!
