About Fixflo

Fixflo was founded by former property lawyer Rajeev Nayyar and former CTO of Friends Reunited Duncan Careless.
The idea for Fixflo came to Rajeev when he was living in New Zealand and living through the pains of both being a tenant, and the long-distance landlord of a property in England.

That’s when Rajeev realised that there must be a better way for agents, landlords, and tenants to communicate, and that’s when the idea for Fixflo was sparked.

After teaming up with Duncan to bring life to the idea, Fixflo was launched in May 2013. In less than three years, Fixflo became the market-leading and market standard repair reporting software for lettings agents and won the 2016 Sunday Times gold award for best supplier to the lettings industry.

Most recently, Fixflo was named the PlaceTech Prize winner in November 2019.

Isaac Hurst

Senior Business Development Executive

Isaac is a huge football fan and music lover. Outside of work you'll either find him playing an embarrassingly low standard of 5-a-side, grabbing a beer with friends, or watching his beloved Stoke City play.

Rezwan Ali

Senior Business Development Representative

Rezwan has a degree in Marketing & Advertising, loves football and is a huge Liverpool fan - if you support them you'll automatically be his friend! When he's not at work you can find him watching series and going to the pub on most weekends.

Customer Success

Lauren Cumming

Head of Customer Success

Lauren is our resident Kiwi hailing from NZ and is a tech startup geek! She is passionate about customer success, travelling as much of Europe as she can and loves going to music festivals (mostly for an excuse to wear glitter). She thinks that one of the best things about London is that halloumi is super cheap here compared to NZ.

Alex Barbeta

Customer Success Manager

Much like Nandos Alex is half South African and half Portuguese and describes himself as just as cheeky (oi oi). He’s a start-up expert, in fact he refuses to work in anything else and he’ll tell you so in English, Portuguese and Spanish – all of which he speaks fluently.

Ben Simpson

Customer Success Manager

A tech startup devotee, Ben loves a challenge. Originally from a little town called Eastwood where nobody drinks coffee and they only sell lager, these days you’ll either find him in a corner coffee shop or searching for a new ale to try. He’s also a big fan of football and really long road trips on the other side of the world.

Charlie Adams

Customer Support Team Lead

Charlie joined us after a self-confessed quarter life crisis, and the team has been reaping the rewards ever since (his words). When he’s not speaking with our happy customers, he’s either raiding the office snack box or taking care of his sweet sweet desk plants!

Jessica Dubey

Customer Training Manager

Always smiling Jessica loves chatting to people and gets to indulge her chatty impulses by speaking to Fixflo’s customers. In her spare time she loves to travel, exploring new places and cultures and having dinner with friends and family . Jessica is probably one of the few people who still have and use their i-pod.

Daniela Troiano

Customer Success Executive

When not hiding behind her camera or day-dreaming of her next trip, Daniela is usually annoying people with random GIFs. As a proud Italian, she tends to feed food unsolicited to anyone around her. Fun fact: Dani knows how to make flower-shaped ice-creams.

Manos Protopapas

Customer Success Executive

Manos, originally from Greece, comes from a background in Operations and has 100% employment rate in startups. Outside work he's into drone photography, long walks and exploring new places. He's a fan of tennis and manages most of his life on spreadsheets.

James Kelsall

Customer Success Manager

James, a North Londoner born and bred, comes from a digital product background and is always happy to lend an ear. A keen sports enthusiast and music lover, he’ll DJ at any wedding, party or club if you ask. When not talking to customers, James has run the London marathon and the memory of the pain may have dimmed sufficiently to even consider running again.

Fabien Rees-Dennemont

Customer Success Manager

Fabien comes from a background in various customer facing roles, outside of work he is a keen traveller and tries to visit at least 4 new countries each year. Hobbies include boxing and football albeit at a very low level! Fun fact - he once had dinner with Princess Diana at her palace!

Alex O'Shea

Customer Success Executive

Originally from the land of eagles and cheeseburgers, Alex started her career in nursing and found a new passion for customer success. She loves traveling, reading, baking and hiking. She has two pups whose day-to-day life overshadows any and all accomplishments.

Greg Matthews

Customer Success Manager

Originally from Dorset, Greg spent many years in property management. When he's not on the golf course, he will be seen frantically scouting for his weekend football team. We are told with little success.

Satchin Mistry

Customer Support Executive

Originally from Leicester, Satchin spent a few years travelling before he settled in the big smoke. He enjoys venturing out in London and sampling brews of the coffee bean and hops varieties. He's an avid football player and an even better commentator.

Daniel Wilson

Customer Success Executive

With his background in the property industry and a passion for tech support, Daniel has gone from being a Fixflo user to being a part of the Customer Success team here. In his free time, he likes to learn about modern history and play video and card games.

Development

Duncan Careless

Chief Technical Officer

Co-founder and architect of the Fixflo range of products, Duncan has an extensive background in technology with roles including CTO at Friends Reunited and BrightSolid. He is only rarely photographed, and you are more likely to find him on the hockey pitch, where he captains his local team.

David Synott

Head of Development

Dave orchestrated Fixflo’s first Jaffa Cake challenge (as a judge rather than a participant, conveniently). Dave is a Dutch National Champion of the increasingly popular sport of Korfball and runs a marathon every month, most recently through the sun-soaked night in Tromsø.

Matthew Fosberry

Developer

Matt spends his time educating us on American football, providing tips for ballroom dancing and making Fixflo even better. If you want to know the best restaurants or coolest board-game bar, he’s the one to ask.

Phil Hoy

Senior Developer

Phil accidentally invented a time machine by wiring his alarm clock up to an old radio controlled car. Unfortunately it then disappeared 500 years into the future and he doesn’t remember how he did it, so roll on 2502!

Callum Anderson

Steve Odai-Stephens

Developer

Our latest pick is a mobile app enthusiast with a computer science background. Steve enjoys a good competitive game of half-court basketball and a pastry gift offering (or two) is one way to make him smile.

Jisha Kallingal Gopalan

Quality Assurance Analyst

Jisha has 10+ years of experience in web application, web service and mobile testing. She's a travel lover: very fond of exploring new places, embracing new cultures and sharing new food styles with her kitty back home.

Jared Mackay

Software Developer

Jared is a self-proclaimed foodie, always looking to try new dishes no matter how strange. He's into basketball and says he can play, but that's debatable. Outside work you'll find him going to concerts/festivals or at the gym trying to burn off all that alcohol.

Hamzah Malik

Software Developer

Resident video game addict and blockchain/NFT enthusiast. When he's not working you'll find him looking at tutorials on how to get better at art or watching true crime documentaries. His bucket list includes visiting every country and skydiving.

Lara is so good at graphic design that she designed the logo for one company just by dropping her breakfast on the floor. When not working, she likes to confuse people by talking backwards.

Riemy Wan

Content Marketing Manager

Riemy is our trilingual marketer from Hong Kong. Her ability to serve up random fun facts is fascinating. When she’s not reading or writing, she’s making miniature origami, with Cantopop, Eminem or Icelandic tunes blasting in her headphones.

Stuart Armstrong

Digital Copywriter

Stuart loves to write and he loves it even more when people read his pieces (hint!). When not tapping away at a keyboard you’ll find him drumming, blasting rock and metal or watching and discussing obscure movies. He is not related to Neil Armstrong as far as he knows.

Louisa’s interests include vintage fashion – especially a great hat!

Will Arrowsmith

Sales Executive

Will is a huge music fan and is never happier than at a gig with a pint in hand. He is also a Stoke City fan (don’t ask why) which he tends to cause him more grief than anything else.

Fabian Reynolds

Sales Executive

Fabian likes to spend his time playing guitar, doing archery, and watching science documentaries. Someone once, inexplicably, commented that he is ‘well-dressed’ despite the fact that his wardrobe consists of nothing but jumpers and several identical pairs of black jeans.

Joe Goss

Enterprise Sales Executive

Joe has spent 10 years in block management and 10 years in recruitment to the professional surveying and housing sectors. He reckons he's managed just about every type of maintenance request under the sun! He loves a good gig, being in control of the bbq, running around after his two daughters and actually running!

Senior Management

Rajeev Nayyar

Managing Director

Raj is a former property lawyer – the idea of Fixflo came to him as he was suffering the pain of property repair management as a tenant in New Zealand while managing properties in London. He enjoys long walks on the beach and carries a Fixflo stress ball with him wherever he goes.

Duncan Careless

Chief Technical Officer

Guy Hutchinson

Chief Financial Officer

Guy is our CFO and keeps our planning and finances on the straight and narrow. He’s a huge tennis fan (and occasional player) and a regular runner in 10k events. He’s the one in the office most likely to say "do we have a data point to support that?"

Katie Buxton

Katie can always be relied upon to instil peace and harmony into the Fixflo office. Katie lived in Madrid for a whole year, so she is now classed as Fixflo’s resident Tapas expert.

Simon Bushell

Sales Director

James Dilgul

Head of Marketing

Lauren Cumming

Head of Customer Success

Thomas Desmoutier

Taekwondo practising Tom is a self-confessed nerd and loves anything sci-fi or fantasy. You can often find Tom training the office on how to converse fluently in French. Très impressive!

Dali

Dali is our resident canine. While he has yet to impress any modern art curator, this young pup has won the adoration of everyone from the day his front paw entered the Fixflo headquarters.

Winston Bray

Junior Canine Executive

Winston is the latest recruit to Fixflo's Canine Team. His goatee makes him appear wise, yet some of his actions and zoomies absolutely dispute this. Despite this, he's still a valuable member of the team and loves his work.
