I wrote an article for this week's @EstatesGazette on why @WiredScore is committed to being a Certified B Corp. This is an exciting thing we've been thinking about for a while, and I'm really proud we're doing it!
WiredScore's got some big news - we've committed to achieving B Corp status. We caught up with @EstatesGazette to talk about why becoming a B Corp is such a big deal. Have a read of what our President @wpnewton, had to say here: egi.co.uk/news/why-real-esta… @bcorpuscan

I don't agree with all of this but Gove well identifies many important points, not least to be "rigorous and fearless in its evaluation of policy and projects" with proper data, and accept failure while innovating

My colleague @HamishDupreeLdn has written a piece in @EstatesGazette on life as a black person in real estate. Speaking out is an incredibly impressive thing. The racism Hamish describes is both shocking and commonplace. All of us must be involved in making the industry better.
“Hamish, run this iPad across the West End for me, I know black people are fast.”I can’t express how important it is for everyone to read this raw, real account of being black in real estate by @WiredScore’s @HamishDupreeLdn. It’s free to air. Read it now. egi.co.uk/news/hamish-run-th…

.@lmpicard describes a hybrid future of work that retains the ability for new and innovative work to happen effectively.
She also includes a joyous Upton Sinclair quote, “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”

@OxfordPropGroup's COO-
@wdhopkins - writes about the problems he'd love solved by #proptech companies. This couldn't be more useful- actual, real problems faced by the sector rather than a feature a founder hopes might be useful. bit.ly/2x8hqFm

Fantastic look at the next decade: "By 2030 no-one will use the term #PropTech, because that would sound as silly as saying ‘Colour TV’."
20 Changes in the 2020's - my end of year post for @placetech - What does the next decade look like? TL:DR Fantastic; IF we play our cards right.
