I currently work in the Uk as Sales & marketing Director in the property developement industry.
I have tried registering with agencies and have recieved replies, however they require me to pay a fee?
I have now gone direct to the industries, could anyone advise me of developers to contact.

DO NOT PAY A FEE TO AN AGENCY. Only charlatans would try that scam.

Stop!
as i always say everyone who's looking for job,you should never pay to any agency to find u a job....these are scams...if they are doing their job,then they wont charge you...definitely they will not get back to you after you paid,or if they contact you it will not be sth worthy...
ive been in this industry since i came to dubai and according my short time experience here i would suggest you to submit your CV with those electronic job seeking site ,i.e. monster,bayt,nakuri,....
aside from them send your CV directly to the companies without your Photo(some say better result comes with photo...but i say if they really want a professional they look at her profile)...the last is sending CV to non-scam agencies.

good thing is that real estate is booming here and sales and marketing in this industry has a high chance to get a good job.

wish u luck

In the UK, you could also try Dubai jobs, careers and recruitment at reed.co.uk or jobserve.co.uk or try a trusted network like linkedin.
