Jamie spent his gap year teaching at Sompting Abbotts Prep School and after graduating from Reading University, worked as a property investment surveyor in Europe, Scotland and London. He attended RMA Sandhurst and was commissioned into the Scottish Brigade (Cameronians). He was made a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors in 1984 and continues to practise as a Consultant to a number of property companies and organisations.
