Multi-million pound business: The story of Foxtons and Marsh & Parsons with Peter Rollings
Peter Rollings was at the helm of one of the most disruptive, opinion dividing and at the time pioneering Estate Agency businesses in the UK for decades. Foxtons quickly gained a reputation for their bullish and somewhat aggressive approach to business. In Peters words, the Foxtons approach was to 'go to war' for their clients to let nothing stand in the way of uncompromisingly high stands (& results). In any industry, a company that 'goes against the grain' tends to divide opinion, and as times changed and the business evolved along with the landscape of the market - what impact did that have on Peters leadership style? How did that effect the company culture and staff morale? How did Peter get the best out of his team and stay on top in a competitive market place? In todays show Ben & Scott explore all of those things, as well as Peters later success in transforming Marsh & Parsons. A must listen for any budding entrepreneur, businessman/woman or property geek.
