Piety People
James’ role is strongly focused on the growth of Piety Group.
This involves working with the senior team to identify suitable development projects, sourcing Joint Ventures and securing debt partners as part of our expansion strategy.
James also collaborates with an experienced in-house construction team that assesses costs and key delivery risks, all of which give Piety Group a major advantage in the current environment of high-cost escalations. James, together with his team, has built a disciplined underwriting process that involves preparing a detailed feasibility analysis for all projects under review.
“When I joined Piety, I really appreciated how I could utilise all of my past experience to ensure the ongoing success of the Group. I am also able to work with my extensive network of past colleagues, networks and friends to help identify opportunities and explore new development opportunities and capital sources.”
As an outgoing, decisive, self-starter and all-around amiable person, James enjoys leading and inspiring his team to deliver great outcomes. This, paired with his ability to identify and solve complex problems, empowers the team to deliver successful results.

“As a leader and mentor, I have worked through numerous
economic and industry cycles and I find fulfilment in passing on my experience to the next generation.”
Piety Life
Outside of the hustle of his busy role at Piety, you’ll find James enjoying the company of his friends and family or playing his favourite sport – golf. He recently re-joined a club after a 20-year break while raising his three boys alongside his wife, Kate.
Finding the perfect balance between work and recreational activities helps James remain grounded to then lead the team to be the best version of themselves.
Passionate, efficient and dedicated, James Quigley is undeniably one of our most valuable assets at the Piety Group.
