iamproperty appoints Vicky Judson as Director of People
North East-based property technology leader iamproperty has welcomed Vicky Judson as its new Director of People. The appointment comes at a key time for the business, with work well underway to deliver its latest innovation – an integrated ecosystem of digital solutions for Estate Agents. Vicky has a successful track record of developing and implementing successful people-centric strategies, having worked within a number of well-known and respected brands with a strong presence in the region.
During an impressive and varied career in Human Resources, most recently Vicky was UK & Ireland HR Director for Draeger, developing and implementing reward strategies alongside launching numerous people initiatives that drove transformational change.
Prior to this, Vicky was Head of Human Resources at DB Regio Tyne and Wear which operates the Metro, where she developed and executed an award-winning employee engagement programme known as ‘My Metro.’
Vicky’s new role as Director of People at iamproperty will see her lead the businesses’ people strategy, which supports over 600 employees based across the UK. The fast-growing company has tripled its headcount over the last few years, with recruitment and continued growth still a focus.
Vicky said: “I’m really excited to be joining iamproperty at this particular point in their journey. The rate of growth has been phenomenal in the last few years and there’s so much more to come, especially with the development of the ecosystem. It is an amazing time to join such a successful, thriving and growing business.
“One of the main things that attracted me to iamproperty was the culture and the focus on the people, and since joining that’s really apparent. I’ve always believed the happier people are, the better they perform at work and for me that’s about having well designed jobs that allow room for growth, the opportunity for development and having the right tools to succeed.”
Ben Ridgway, Co-Founder of iamproperty, commented: “We’re pleased to welcome Vicky to the iamproperty team. She brings an invaluable raft of experience in Human Resources which will drive our five-year people strategy and support us as we continue to grow.”
iamproperty’s ecosystem of solutions empower Estate Agents to succeed. The business was founded by Jamie Cooke and Ben Ridgway, with a clear vision to modernise the property market with innovative, tech-enabled solutions.
Back in 2009 they spotted a gap in the market for a property Auction service that benefited both Estate Agents and consumers. They created the now multi award-winning Auction service, iamsold, pioneering the Modern Method of Auction (MMoA) to bring much-needed speed and security to the market.
Now, iamproperty partners with more than 6,000 Estate Agency branches and offers an ecosystem of solutions designed to help accelerate agents’ success. These include the UK’s largest residential Auction service iamsold, the UK’s first end-to-end digital client onboarding and conveyancing solution movebutler, cloud-based iamproperty CRM, and brand-new prospecting solution, the Marketing Toolkit.
iamproperty has won multiple awards for its products and industry accolades for its contribution to the sector. The business is headquartered in Newcastle and employs over 600 people nationwide. You can follow iamproperty on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn and iamsold on Facebook.
