Anyone that knows me understands that I like to keep a low profile. Working with others and supporting what they do. I find being behind the scenes comfortable. Sometimes we need to push out of our comfort zone. The squirmy video of me is an attempt to do that, with the intent to encourage you to step out of your comfort zone too. There are so many businesses that are doing great things. Maybe like me you prefer doing than being seen. What I have learnt from the Techies Awards is celebrating what you do publicly can boost the confidence of even the most introverted amongst us. If you have a business that's doing something great, please consider entering The Business Exchange Awards. You may be surprised at how much fun it is. Writing down what you are doing and have achieved is a positive experience in and of itself. If you win an award, even better!

I am so excited to see my ABoR family again later this month! Never has diversifying your business been more important and global real estate is just one way to do that. We believe that being gobal is great (who doesn't love world travel?) but DOING global is the sauce that adds diversification to your business model and helps you to maneuver the ebbs and flows of growing a viable real estate business. Join the conversation on April 25, 2024 at Austin Board of REALTORS. Link below. Cheers 🥂 #globalrealestate #doingglobal #realestate #diversify

Embrace change, and new beginnings will follow! - I’m thrilled to announce, after four enriching (long) years at the University of Wolverhampton. I’ve graduated with a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Property Management and Real Estate with Sandwich Placement Second Class (1st Division). It’s been a journey! Completing, a RICS accredited course has provided me with a deep understanding of the built environment and equipped me with the necessary competencies to thrive in the industry. 🏢 Placement Experience: During my year-long placement at Centrick I gained invaluable hands-on experience in the fast-paced world of property management and real estate, a field I’ve come to love and appreciate deeply. 📚 Academic Achievements: One of my proudest moments was achieving a ‘First Class’ in my dissertation. Identifying a common issue and producing a report that was close to my heart wasn’t easy, but it was incredibly rewarding. My research examined “How internal property management decisions around maintenance and capital expenditure, affect residents in the UK.” The process was both challenging and fulfilling, and I’m grateful for the competencies I developed while completing it. 🎉 Career Milestone: The best part of it all, I’m delighted to announce that I’ve accepted an offer from Canary Wharf Group as an Assistant Property Manager with Vertus. I look forward to this new chapter and the opportunities it will bring as I take the next step in my career. Nonetheless, as a man of faith, knowing where I come from, I know that all of this is a testament to God’s grace. A scripture that has guided me throughout this journey is Joshua 1:9: "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." So… here’s to new beginnings, change, and the exciting journey ahead! #Graduation #Property #RealEstate #Faith #CanaryWharf #NewBeginnings #wlv

Very much looking forward to attending and moderating a session at The Operational Real Este (OpRE) Festival on 27th June. The agenda feels fresh and it is great to have a conference focused on the operations of real estate. As we always say, it’s the people that make a home and make a difference to how you experience spaces. (Listen to the latest episode of our podcast Housed as we discussed just this!) I am loving the topic of the experience economy that I will be discussing with my very lovely and insightful panel - Joe Persechino, Jenny Shaw and Mark Clacy-Jones. What is the experience economy? Are we doing enough? Is the right level of investment there? If you are going and want to catch up, please get in touch. #realestate #experienceeconomy #property

Aberdeenshire Council’s Housing & Building Standards Service has been shortlisted in three categories of the 2024 TIS Scotland National Excellence Awards! Aberdeenshire Council’s Tenant Participation Team - finalist in the category of Excellence in Digital Engagement - demonstrating a strong commitment to working collaboratively with tenants, residents and communities to broaden the reach of engagement – particularly during challenging times such as the Covid pandemic, the cost of living crisis and their aftermath. An increase in tenant participation in the governance process through use of increased digital engagement has created a clear line of accessibility between tenants, the Housing Service, and elected members – giving a clear voice from tenants to decision makers. Tenants are now represented in Member-Officer Working Groups and Committee, and tenants have expressed they have a greater understanding of the decision-making process and where their views can be put forward in the most effective way.  Meanwhile, our Sheltered Housing Service – in partnership with the Sheltered Housing Tenant Forum – has been shortlisted as a finalist in the category of Excellence in Scrutiny. The Forum has been instrumental in Sheltered Housing Service provision review, and has shown what true empowerment through scrutiny can do. Aberdeenshire Council’s Housing Tenancy Services Manager, Andrew Mackie, has been shortlisted as a finalist in the category of Outstanding Contribution to Tenant Participation. Andrew was nominated by our tenants, along with the support of the ACTG (RTO). Tenants who have worked alongside Andrew said that he ‘Goes above and beyond to help tenants…..’ ‘Is always very knowledgeable and makes discussions interesting….’ ‘He has time for everyone…..’ ‘He cares about us……’ ‘He always thanks us for any work that we’ve done…’ It’s clear to see that Andrew’s efforts to support Tenant Participation within the Housing Service has been recognised by tenants themselves – the 2024 Tenant Satisfaction Survey showed a majority of tenants are very or fairly satisfied with the opportunities given to them to participate in the Housing Service’s decision-making processes (77%, up from 73% in 2021). Cllr Anne Stirling, Chair of the council’s Communities Committee, said: “I am absolutely delighted to see our Housing Service being shortlisted no less than three times at this year’s Tenants Information Service National Excellence Awards. It is testament to the exceptional quality of service which you all deliver – and, indeed continue to improve upon – on a daily basis to support our tenants, our residents and our communities. We know how dedicated you all are to your roles and it is only right that you will be spotlighted on such an important stage. I wish all our shortlisted teams – and of course our very own Andrew Mackie – the very best of luck on November 7th.”
