My background is in industrial/product design, and before joining Vestd, I worked with startups, asset management, and physical security systems." "I’m thrilled to collaborate with an incredible team of legendary designers and a sharp-minded team of developers at Vestd, while also working closely with our other amazing teams. I’m excited to contribute, learn, and create an enhanced design system for our platform together."

Construction and property industry has the second highest staff tenure, new data reveals The construction and property industry has the second highest tenure in the UK, with employees remaining with a company for 4.4 years on average according to a new study into employee retention. The ‘Employee Retention Report’, compiled by equity management platform, Vestd, analysed a total dataset of 398,006 employees from 1,400 UK companies on LinkedIn to determine the average median employee tenure across 14 industries. Narrowly trailing behind the manufacturing industry, which had an average tenure of 5.3 years, the property and construction industry significantly outperforms the UK average of 3.7 years across all sectors analysed. The findings come after a report found that 30% of UK employees leave to join another organisation every year, while Google trends data revealed over 7,000 web searches for ‘letter of resignation’ in the past month alone. According to CIPD data, older demographic groups typically move less frequently between jobs, which could be observed in the construction sector, where 64.8% of workers are aged over 41, and one in six is aged 60 or over, In contrast, marketing had the lowest tenure with employees staying an average of 2.8 years at a company, closely followed by the hospitality industry with three years. The data also revealed that the IT industry had the third-lowest tenure (3.1), with employees more likely to stay in startups and SMEs (3.3) compared to an enterprise-size business (2.8). https://lnkd.in/e-p7t9Kf

Happy World Entrepreneurs Day! ✨ The UK’s entrepreneurial spirit has seen a remarkable shift over the years. Back in 1999, only 3.3% of people in the UK were starting businesses. Fast forward to 2023, and nearly 30% of working-age individuals are either planning to start a business, actively working on it, or already running one. But let’s be honest - the journey is far from smooth. Small businesses are often at the mercy of fluctuating markets and global events that can disrupt everything from supply chains to customer demand. And while AI and tech advancements promise to improve how we do/conduct business, they also represent an uncertain element. So, what’s the way forward? For me, it’s about smart planning and resilience. While we can’t predict the future, we can stay informed and invest in the right tech and people. Technology is the foundation of how businesses operate. For small businesses in particular, every tech investment needs to be deliberate, with a clear eye on how it will benefit you today and in the future. Invest in tools that help you focus on what truly matters. However, the MOST important element of any business is its people. So, for me, at least as important to how an entrepreneur deploys their financial resources, is how they secure, nurture and deploy their human resources. Growing a business isn’t just about numbers and tech; it’s about people. Building a team with the right skills—both technical and mental—should be one of your top priorities. Adaptability, positivity, and openness are just as important as any certifiable skill. As we navigate these changes, what’s your main focus—tech innovation or building a strong, adaptable team? How do you strike that balance?

A short post about SPVs OK, so are you a founder in the UK raising capital and utilising a SPV to pool your investors together, and maintain a clean cap table? Or maybe an angel or angel syndicate pooling together to use a SPV to invest in the next big thing. And your friendly (possibly unregulated) platform that creates the SPVs is offline because the FCA asked them to suspend operations. Well, don't worry, you will not miss the chance to close your round, or invest in that great company.... Why? Because my good friends at Vestd are doing SPVs. So please reach out to Guy Kaufman who will be able to assist you. #SPV #Founders #AngelInvestors #Startups
