The Property Week Podcast show

Summary: Most 25-year-olds, on hearing that the company they worked for was being put up for sale, are likely to start looking at the job market or do nothing. Not Ray Bloom. On hearing of plans to sell John D Wood, where he was head of commercial property management, Bloom wrote a business plan, sought an investor, bought the company and became chief executive officer. In the latest Property Week podcast Bloom talks to James Max about the challenges he faced into taking over the business including dealing with his colleagues and clients. He also discusses plans for the business and gives his views on the property market, protestors and road ahead.
