Personal development with Greystar is key to achieving long-term success ✨🚀

🚀 End of an Era, Beginning of a New Journey 🚀 Today marks the close of a remarkable chapter in my career. After 7 incredible years at Shawbrook, I'm excited to embrace a new opportunity that lies ahead. During my interview at Shawbrook, I asked, "What is the best thing about Shawbrook?" The answer was simple: the people. Seven years later, this still holds true. The integrity, commitment to doing the right thing for customers and colleagues, and the never-ending drive to tackle challenges define this amazing team. I am grateful to have worked with some of the most brilliant Product experts (Olivia Waite, Jordan Sanderson, Louise Bird, Adriano Araldi, Bronagh Kelly, Chang Eddie Liu, Arthur Leung, Lea-Jane Baird), talented Designers (Nicola Fleming, Rob Evans, Craig McPheat, Scott Burns, Emily Shone, Nimra Chaudry), and those deeply committed to customer outcomes like Colin Smith and Jason Kentish. The generosity and support from my colleagues has been unparalleled (Andy Townsend, Paul Went, Sue Saville, Lee Shaw, David Sneddon, James Longstaff, Stuart Doignie, Philippa Pykett, Russ Thornton, Joanne Edwards, Amrita Kohli) Here are some of our incredible achievements during my time at Shawbrook: 📈 Loan book growth: 350% 💼 Deposit book growth: 375% 📊 We rolled out awesome CSAT and analysis tools 💡 Established top-tier product and design teams 👥 Tons of support groups; including my New Parents group, which continues to thrive 🖥️ Remarkable advancements in our technology ✅ Delivering great consumer duty outcomes every day 🏃 Moved from waterfall to fully functioning Agile 🌐 Nailing hybrid work setup – I remember the days when booking a phone line for a conference call was the norm! The thing I loved (and continuously love) the most is how we empowered growth by truly understanding and enhancing our customers' experiences. Feel free to connect; I'd love to chat if this drives you too. In the immortal words of Vinnie Jones, "It's been emotional." Thank you, Shawbrook, for an unforgettable journey. Here's to new beginnings! 🚀 #NewBeginnings #Gratitude #Teamwork #Innovation #CustomerExperience #CareerJourney #CustomerSatisfaction #Technology #Data #Collaboration #Goals #Product #Design

This picture is a brilliant depiction of one of the hardest industries in South Africa. And probably most rewarding. To be a successful Property Practitioner is a feat of bravery, enterpreneurship and determination that is misunderstood and undervalued.

🏢 Multifamily Myth Buster: "All properties should be managed the same way." At first glance, this seems obviously false. But when we look closer at industry practices it is shockingly true. Some examples: 🌧️ Identical marketing strategies across diverse markets 🌧️ Cookie-cutter renewal efforts regardless of demographics 🌧️ Uniform staffing ratios ignoring community-specific needs Why? It's efficient, scalable, and often encouraged by technology. But it's leaving value on the table. The truth? Tailored management plans are crucial for maximizing performance: 🥇The most effective marketing emphasizes what makes a property unique 🥇Renewal approaches should consider local markets, resident mix, leasing velocity, upcoming expirations and move outs, et al. 🥇Staffing needs vary based on property size and age, yet we’re stuck on 1 to 100 in most cases Bespoke management may require more upfront effort, but the long-term gains in efficiency and performance are undeniable. 🤔 Have you seen standardized approaches fall short?

Recently, I had an almost 3-hour long conversation with a potential new team member at Beanstalk Real Estate Solutions. It was not just an interview, it was a journey through their life, their experiences, and their aspirations. It reminded me of the importance of listening and putting others first.   In today's fast-paced business world, it's easy to "dial it in" and overlook the important details. We've become a "cut & paste" society, where individuality often gets lost in the shuffle. But not here at Beanstalk. We believe that the devil is in the details. We take the time to get to know someone, to ask questions, to understand "their story". Because every story matters.   Whether we're managing a commercial property, securing tenants that meet a building or client's requirements, or handling sales or purchases of either commercial or residential properties, we make our clients' mission, vision, and story the priority. At Beanstalk, we tailor our services to those we serve and represent. No one is "just a client". They are THE client. Because in the end, it's the people that make the difference. And we're here to make that difference count. #ClientFirst #DetailsMatter #MakingADifference

Continuous feedback has been key to my success. In one of my recent projects with Perry Homes in the US, we provided IT services to support their real estate business, and client feedback was at the heart of our collaboration. The constant communication allowed us to adapt, improve, and integrate seamlessly with the #PerryHomes team. At Eminent Technology, I’ve seen firsthand how strong relationships and open communication lead to project success. By actively seeking and incorporating feedback, we not only met our clients’ needs but also exceeded their expectations. This approach doesn’t just elevate the quality of our work—it creates a collaborative, productive environment where everyone thrives. I’m incredibly proud of the work we accomplished when working with Perry Homes and look forward to more successful partnerships in the future. #ClientFeedback #ProjectSuccess #ITServices #RealEstateTech #EminentTechnology #PerryHomes #Collaboration #Innovation #ContinuousImprovement #ClientRelationships

💡 Employee Spotlight Today, we shine the spotlight on Patrick Wilson, CFA, an integral member of CenterSquare's real estate securities group. As a Portfolio Manager, Patrick plays a crucial role in supporting our listed real estate platform by optimizing sector and risk allocations while performing thorough investment analyses and valuations. His insights and tactical decision-making have been fundamental in driving positive outcomes for our clients and enhancing our investment strategies. Patrick’s steadfast dedication serves as an inspiration to us all, and we look forward to witnessing his continued success in the years to come, continue reading to learn more about Patrick. 1. Can you recall a specific project or accomplishment that you're particularly proud of? What was your role in making it successful?  I was part of a small team that underwrote our private investments in Lineage Logistics, the world’s largest cold storage platform. We had a massive amount of underwriting to do in an accelerated timeframe which made it both intense and exciting. I was responsible for the financial underwriting of the transaction and building out our financial model to share the investment opportunity with our client base. 2. If you could share some advice with your younger self, what would it be?  Don’t sweat the small stuff. Your career will unfold through a series of wins and losses, if you stress about every minor challenge or obstacle you have to overcome, you can exhaust yourself quickly and diminish your ability to take on the true tasks and opportunities that really matter. 3. What are you looking forward to at CenterSquare?  Our company’s move to its new headquarters in Conshohocken this year. The new location will provide a modern space, greater walkability, and exceptional access to mass transit which will be an exciting transition for our firm. 4. What is at the top of your bucket list?  Play a round of golf with my three boys on the Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland. 5. If you could try something knowing you would not fail, what would it be?  Become a world champion poker player.  #employeespotlight #REITs #portfoliomanagement #team

Earlier today we at New West End Company launched our evolved insights programme, which I am incredibly proud of, so I wanted to reflect on the journey. First of all, none of it would have been possible without the support from Paddy Gamble and Tom Rollinson from Colliers , both of whom deserve a lot of credit for the hard work into realising a truly groundbreaking insights product. Secondly, I wanted to speak of our overall vision: when we talk about the London’s West End’s success, eventually it all comes down to people who go there, who live there, who work there, who shop there. And you can’t really understand people through a single lens. No matter what anyone tells you, there is no single number or KPI, no matter how compelling, that will explain people and how they make a place thrive. It’s not just #footfall, not just #turnover, not just #dwelltime, not just sales productivity, not just sentiment, it’s all of those things together and more on top. And then you’ve got to make a sense of it all by weaving a compelling story of what it all means that will resonate with different audiences (many stories, actually). Insights is the art of telling meanigful stories, and boy we’ve got a rich story to tell! All New West End Company BID members get free access to something really amazing. https://lnkd.in/g7UK-Nym Have a look.

Good morning and happy Tuesday! We have had a great response since the launch of Elevate Supply! We have had a fantastic response from candidates across South Yorkshire, and so we are reaching out to schools across South Yorkshire to begin our journey of supporting schools with their supply recruitment! Our amazing specialist within South Yorkshire, Javairia Khan, will be reaching out to your school in the next few weeks to discuss the endless benefits of Elevate Supply. In a nutshell: - We save schools on average 20% off their current daily and long term supply costs - Free to use technology, with our platform operating as a "pay as you go" system - basically , you don't pay unless you hire supply cover, and they complete the work - We have fully transparent pricing, all visible before you make or confirm a booking - We connect schools to local teachers by using first class technology. Create your role, and at the click of a button, your vacancy instantly reaches out to all our candidates who match the requirements you have set - You also have a dedicated account manager at hand to help support you at all times Elevate Supply is proud to be part of Twinkl Educational Publishing, and we are working towards improving the standards of the education industry. For too long, schools have been overcharged and candidates underpaid. We are changing this model, to ensure teachers are paid fairly and to scale, while schools also save time and money in the process! If you're a school and use supply - reach out to myself or Javairia Khan and we will happily arrange a time with you to chat about your current situation, provide an online demo of our technology and show you how we can help address any issues you currently face. If you're a candidate in South Yorkshire and currently use an agency to find your work - then reach out to myself or Chardaine Martin and we can help you register and find work. We allow candidates to select their own rate of pay to ensure they are paid fairly. So if you're currently working within supply, it will be worth your while registering with us, and setting your daily rate to a higher and fairer rate that you're most likely being paid now! We are here to change the game of education recruitment. And we aren't going to stop until we succeed. Come and join our community and lets work together to create a fair and cost effective solution to supply! Have a great Tuesday everyone! #edtech #supplyrecruitment #schools #supplyteachers #headteachers #supply #teachers #supplyteachers
