What I do every day... As publications manager, my job entails overseeing the collation, checking, and approving the survey data that ultimately finds its way into our publications. After analysis of the survey results, I summarise our findings in Rode’s range of publications — most of which are under my editorship.

I am also involved in the compilation of our two time series databases, the writing of our monthly newsletter, and consultation work. Having previously worked in our valuations department for close on three years, I still try and speak to these colleagues as much as possible, as their daily experiences are an excellent source of market intelligence, providing me with greater perspective when writing our publications.

And about me… Before joining Rode I was involved in corporate (movable asset) finance, and before that I worked in the short-term domestic insurance industry.

On a more personal note, I enjoy cooking and spending time with friends and family. As far as sport is concerned, I love to fish, and try to get to the waters at least once a week. Being a property economist I am, of course, naturally curious, and therefore quite fond of reading as well (provided it’s not fiction).
