New Year, New Challenge

Fabriq team members pushed themselves out of their respective comfort zones. Forget Veganuary! Team Fabriq challenged itself to complete a minimum of 7,500 steps by the end of the month. Quite fitting really, with the 2020 Olympics scheduled for later in the year.

"And why, why would team Fabriq plunge itself into this challenge?" I hear you ask. Well, as a famous celebrity once said "because we want to" but also the challenge served the purpose of emphasising general health and well-being and simply enjoying the outdoors more, in 2020. Oh, if you recognise the last quote, then you are wise beyond your years.

It has been quite an eventful start to the year/decade for us at Fabriq to say the least, with our fearless founder Benjamin Kott passing on the CEO baton, leaving behind an incredible legacy of a leading edge product and a laudable culture.

As many of you are already aware, while Ben is moving on...he's NOT moving out! He continues to be involved in providing direction for the company on business governance and strategy as a non-exec to Fabriq’s Board of Directors. With that said, while we miss having him around during our weekly team lunches (he did promise he would stop by whenever he could for his favourite fish and chips!), he will continue to play a pivotal role in shaping how Fabriq evolves as a purpose-driven company.

First working week of the year and my LinkedIn feed is filled with articles on 2020 trends and resolutions. They all make for a great read – special mention to Nikki Greenberg's, Paul McCorquodale's and Will Darbyshire's ones which gave me the inspiration to write this piece.

While the industry acknowledge the urgency of tackling climate change and the role PropTech has in addressing it, the greatest impact we can collectively have is when mass adoption of sustainability technology happens in the property sector.

We are currently hiring a Marketing Executive with strong digital-marketing and demand-generation experience within an enterprise-SaaS environment to help Fabriq with its 2020 growth plans. This is a full-time position based in London.

This is a very hands-on role, essential in supporting Fabriq’s overall marketing efforts and you will report directly to the CMO. We are a small team, so there is a lot of space to develop, bring in your own ideas and get actively involved in shaping the direction of the marketing strategy.

Last Tuesday (the 26th of Nov 2019), I was invited to be part of the panel on ‘Leveraging ProptTech to get to Net Zero’ at the first Women In PropTech (WiPT) London event alongside fearless leaders in the space Sally Jones, Julie Hogarth, Alison Webb and beautifully moderated by Sarah Ratcliff.
