KIP Speaker Video Library - new recording - Tony Alexander
 
Our most recent speaker talks are available to view for paid KIP subscribers via our speaker video library: https://www.kiwisinproperty.com/speaker-videos.
New this month is recorded interview with Tony Alexander, NZ Economy Guru and former Chief Economist of the BNZ. In a very entertaining hour Tony covers off the resilience of the NZ economy in the face of the pandemic, the reasons behind NZ's high levels of housing unaffordability and what can be done about it. Tony also touched on trans-Tasman migration, the pandemic induced "brain gain", potential future booms and busts in housing construction and likely future labour shortages. Check it out!

NZ hometown: Invercargill
Company Cushman and Wakefield
Role Marketing Director, Flexible Workspace EMEA
- What is your connection with the property sector?
- I worked as part of the INDEGO Team at Cushman & Wakefield. Establishing and operating Flexible workspaces on behalf of Landlords
- How long have you been in the UK?
- What piece of advice would you give a fellow Kiwi new to London?
- Take advantage of networks like this and contacts that you already have in the UK. Coming to London can be pretty overwhelming for most people, so having some friendly faces and/or connections that can give you tips about areas to live, job-hunting etc can make those first months a lot easier to navigate.
- What makes you proud to be a Kiwi?
- The ability most Kiwis have to be agile and adaptable and to be generally open and honest people.
- How can other KIP members help you?
- If you have any clients considering flexible workspace as part of their portfolio, send them my way. We can offer a consultancy service to help them determine the right proposition and implementation.
- How can you help other KIP members?
- Happy to give advice to anyone who is looking for a property marketing role in London or anyone who wants to talk about market trends in the Flexible Workspace world.
Kiwi fun facts
- Favourite NZ Sporting Personality?
- Stretching back far and scandals aside, I would say Chris Cairns. Cricket was a big part of our family activities growing up in NZ, and we were big Canterbury supporters
- Favourite NZ beach?
- Not really a beach but the Queenstown bay at Lake Wakatipu. Lots of happy memories meeting up with friends and family there
- NZ food you miss most?
- Feijoas – It’s the one thing you just can’t get here.
- Who would you most like to sit beside on your next trip back to NZ and why?
- My family! I’ve only had the chance to take my daughter to NZ once when she was much younger, and I would love to take her back again.
