"Launching Luminate Partners comes at an exciting time for Kernel and the sector it operates in. The Energy, Power and Critical Infrastructure sectors are dynamically changing, transforming at pace and often, resource constrained. They need people who are agile and who can operate with fast moving tectonic plates underneath them. They demand a recruitment and search partner that can respond to this landscape. Luminate gives us the chance to help shape that future. This launch isn’t just an evolution; it’s a statement of intent, and I’m incredibly excited for what comes next."

Logan Naidu is the Founder and Group CEO of Kernel, recognised as a long‑standing industry leader who has built and grown multiple specialist recruitment brands through two rounds of private equity investment.

"The launch of Luminate Partners presents a unique opportunity to deepen and extend our existing relationships across the power, energy transition, and infrastructure sectors. These end markets continue to see significant innovation, long‑term investment and demand on a global scale, creating exceptional opportunity for a specialist brand like Luminate. The group’s entrepreneurial spirit runs throughout, and I couldn’t be more excited for the launch of our newest brand and the next phase of our growth."

James Hambly‑Smith is Kernel Global’s Group Chief Commercial Officer, bringing deep global recruitment experience and a strong track record in scaling high‑performing teams across FTSE‑listed and PE‑backed environments.
