Podcast appearances and mentions of alex depledge

EP 375 - The conversation ranged far and wide with Alex Depledge, CEO of Resi and newly coined “Tech- Sis”. It took in her frustrations that no-one wants to have a long term conversation, how the short term news cycle is killing politics and why increasing polarisation is killing informed debate and damaging society.She came out to bat for the Labour government in general - we should give them time - and Rachel Reeves in particular for her willingness to stand behind a decision, even if it is unpopular. She did not come out to bat for bats, people who play the victim and using regulatory sledgehammers to crack walnuts. If you like your opinions strong and your laughter infectious, listen in.FACT CORRECTION - Alex stated that the UK Electric Grid energy wastage is at 40% which may have been true at the time of recording. Most recent figures show that it is nearer 10%.*For Apple Podcast chapters, access them from the menu in the bottom right corner of your player*Spotify Video Chapters:00:00 BWB with Alex Depledge MBE03:29 Alex's Current Role and Responsibilities04:54 Challenges in the Housing Sector05:57 Energy Efficiency and Renovation06:49 Fragmented Construction Industry16:11 Government Policies and Long-term Solutions19:21 Labour Party's Approach to Business and Economy27:57 *Andy's Key Takeaways* 30:34 Regulations and the Role of Bats34:20 The Impact of Private School Attacks34:51 Understanding the Worker's Rights Bill35:13 Probation Periods in Employment37:11 Planning and Business Efficiency38:29 The Housing Crisis and Council Incentives39:22 Environmental Regulations and Development40:16 The Importance of Company Policies44:12 Diversity of Thought vs. Quotas48:49 *Andy's Key Takeaways*52:31 The Immigration Debate54:14 Challenges of Modern Employment58:27 Quickfire - Get To Know Alex01:05:03 Wrap Upbusinesswithoutbullshit.meWatch and subscribe to us on YouTubeFollow us:InstagramTikTokLinkedinTwitterFacebookIf you'd like to be on the show, get in contact - mail@businesswithoutbullshit.meBWB is powered by Oury Clark

Steph chats with businesswoman Alex Depledge for a Business Special episode of the podcast. Alex is undoubtedly a brilliant entrepreneur, having co-founded, grown and sold first business Hassle.com for €32m, before starting another tech platform – Resi.co.uk – the UK's largest and only nationwide residential architectural platform. Alex's ‘thing' is disrupting with a tech solution, and cutting deals, both of which she's very good at. She appears to have no fear, has been involved with a number of bodies, boards and think tanks, and is passionately championing women in a male-dominated industry. Alex is incredibly straight-talking but doesn't shy away from being vulnerable, about the challenges of being the boss, including the stress and emotion of leading a business through Covid, trying to balance work and family. Alex also says that she's grateful for the burnout she went through at 27, because it taught her a lot early on that most people experience a bit later while also trying to manage a family and having greater responsibility to juggle. This episode is sponsored by HR consultancy HR Star, who want to reinvent the poor reputation of HR.

PROBLEMS WITH HYBRID? As we begin to think about the bounce back from the pandemic, the growing consensus is that the ‘hybrid' model of working - flexibility for staff to work either from home, with an office provided - is going to be the default setting for the majority of businesses.  Candidates and employees seem to want this flexibility…..but does it really work? Are there any trade offs with hybrid? What are we losing if we work this way? What worries business owners, managers, CEO's - key executives with a responsibility for the health of the business - about this modus operandi? This is the topic of Brainfood Live On Air  We're with Alex DePledge, MBE, CEO of Resi, Neil Carberry, CEO of Recruitment & Employers Confederations and Nims Dhawan, Organisational Design at the UK Ministry of Defence.  We've heard from the employees; now we have to hear from the bosses

Jimmy's Jobs of the Future is hiring, read more on our next chapter here and you can sign up to our newsletter here.Welcome to Jimmy's Jobs of the Future, presented by me, Jimmy McLoughlin, a former Downing Street Adviser on business and entrepreneurship. Today, we welcome one of my favourite entrepreneurs, Alexandra Depledge who runs the architectural company, RESI, which is looking to revolutionise the way we improve our homes and doing so via extensions. As Alex talks about you only go through this process perhaps once or twice in your life, so inevitably the consumer has a hard time navigating all of the different options and knowing how and when to ask the 'right' questions. I first met Alex in 2014, when she was running the cleaning company Hassle. I had just started work at the Institute of Directors, and I had been tasked with modernising the look and feel of the grand institution who had a rather traditional headquarters based on Pall Mall. For our American friends, that is the same street which Clarence House is on where Prince Charles lives on …It is a grand building, and about as far away from a stereotypical East London start up hub stacked with ping pong tables that you could get. Simon Walker, the Director General of the IoD at the time, himself a man who had been Press Secretary to the Queen, could see a new wave of entrepreneurs coming through and we were working on lots of different approaches to attract them to engage with and become members of the IoD, after all it had originally been founded in 1906. So I was tasked with reaching out to that younger wave of entrepreneurs making their way … disrupting old traditional sectors. I was writing a report on the sharing economy, which was trying to persuade the Treasury to increase tax allowances. This brought me in touch with many great entrepreneurs, like Debbie Wosskow, Greg Marsh and today's guest Alex Depledge.I had clearly made quite an impression on Alex, as she asked me to apply for the CEO role of the think tank and lobby group that she was Chairing at the time called the Coalition for a Digital Economy … All I will say about that interview is that fingers crossed today goes better … Suffice to say, I didn't get that particular role, although another impressive female would call me in the following weeks and an altogether different role. Alex Depledge is what the UK needs more of … an entrepreneur who has sold one multi million pound business, who then decides not to sit on a beach or even angel invest, but is determined to try and repeat the success. She'll talk us through how she wants to disrupt the housing industry and by making process for extensions much more streamlined and better for the customer … If you have ever been through any building work … you'll probably be nodding your head in agreement at that statement. She also tells us how she is hoping to float the company in a few years time, which is such an interesting space given, Deliveroo, the Hut Group and Darktrace's IPOs over the last six months. A reminder you can follow us onInstagram: @JimmysjobsTwitter: @JimmysjobsAnd most importantly on LinkedIn.If you'd like to see more information about the job roles being offered please look at my Twitter @jimmym

With host Dan Murray laid up in hospital, this special live episode is hosted by none other than the feisty, joyous force of nature, Resi founder, Alex Depledge. “We have a foundation at Resi that does pro bono work for architecture. People look at me a little bit sceptical, like, what's the motivation? You can't really earn a profit and do good at the same time. So why is building a for profit company better for society than building a charity?”Alex, alongside special guests Anne-Marie Huby of Just Giving and Alain de Botton of School of Life, discuss social enterprise, building for profit companies for good, and the question of whether this does or doesn't make more of an impact on society than charities.“When you think of the size of the charity sector, which in this country is commendably big, but you look at the wider overall economy, it stands to reason that if we want to live in a more fulfilling, equal, decent society, we're going to have to attend to what companies do.”Both of our guests, Anne-Marie and Alain, share their motivations for why they chose to create their businesses as for profits, rather than as charities, and spoiler alert, it’s not all about financial gain. “A business that wants to achieve good and make money has a double role, a business that merely wants to make money has a single mission. It's much harder to be a so-called good capitalist, because you're trying to hit two targets. You’ve got to work doubly hard.”Inspirational and insightful, this is another cracking, not-to-be-missed live episode. We chat about:Churches don't have the monopoly on doing goodGood capitalism v bad capitalismMaslow’s hierarchy of needsThe core issues with building charitiesHow can we make capitalism workThe effective altruism movementLinks:https://www.secretleaders.com/alex-depledgehttps://www.secretleaders.com/alain-de-bottonhttps://www.secretleaders.com/anne-marie-hubyWant to receive our podcast on a weekly basis?

Since deciding at a young age that she would do the opposite of what was expected, Alex Depledge has become a successful serial entrepreneur and advocate for change. After leaving a high-flying career in management consulting, Alex taught herself how to create a business during cram sessions at the Royal Festival Hall and went on to exit from her first business in just three years.  When most expected her to retire on the windfall, Alex got into the trenches again and started another now-multi-million-pound company to prove that she was more than a "one hit wonder" and to serve her broader mission of changing the way we work.  Throughout the ups and downs, Alex has set out to prove - to herself and others - that women can have it all: a career, a family, and a life they love. Eschewing over used concepts like work-life balance, Alex shows us that balance isn't possible, but that meaning and impact are. Join us for this powerful and inspiring conversation about self-belief, discomfort, and the power of human resilience.Check out RESI at: https://resi.co.uk/And for more great Entreprenora content, please follow us on Instagram at @Entreprenora_official or come visit us at www.entreprenora.co.ukThink Bigger.

The Lowdown: Alex Depledge, Founder & CEO at Resi, and James Hurley, Enterprise Editor at The Times.

“I think the worst thing is every morning when you wake up as a founder and you pick up your phone, you think what will I discover that will ruin my day?”While your business might not care what your gender is, significant discrepancies still exist between the number of female and male entrepreneurs. As Baroness Martha Lane Fox quite rightly proclaimed, ‘you cannot be what you cannot see’. And so we’ve gone and put four female entrepreneur powerhouses together on the same live stage. We’ve put the same questions to them and their answers are as diverse as they are. This episode on female leadership and equality for International Women’s Day is a real smorgasbord of insights from some of the UK's leading female founders. Get the expert investor perspective from Reshma Sohoni, co-founder of Seedcamp. The non-VC route founder Renée Elliott, founder of Planet Organic. Alex Depledge offers the perspective from a consumer facing tech enabled marketplace, with her startup Hassle. And finally our technology software entrepreneur, Alicia Navarro, whose company Skimlinks has raised over $25 million helping publishers monetise advertising. “If being a woman is the hardest thing you have to deal with in your journey, sorry, you’re fucking lucky. Because that is the easiest challenge you're gonna have to deal with. If you can't handle that, if you can’t handle a couple of dickheads in the corner that belittle you, you're just not going to make it. I'm sorry, but that is the truth. It is hard and relentless. And if you can't handle people that make you feel like shit, that's like peanuts in the corner.”We chat about:Why not every business should take VC fundingThe toughest moments of their entrepreneurial journeys so farTheir different perspectives on funding and financing a businessHow to choose your role modelsLinks:https://www.secretleaders.com/reshma-sohonihttps://www.secretleaders.com/alicia-navarrohttps://www.secretleaders.com/alex-depledgehttps://www.secretleaders.com/renee-elliotWant to receive our podcast on a weekly basis?

Secret Leaders is all about hearing from founders and CEOs of some of the world’s most successful startups. We grill each guest on the highs and more importantly lows of starting and running a startup, and one of the biggest hurdles for any startup to overcome is financing and funding.“Leave investors with two or three messages that are really clear what is special about your business, what's great about you and your founders, and how this thing is ever going to make money. They're probably the only three things that [they’re] going to remember from [a] 45 minutes or an hour [pitch]. Sometimes you feel when making a deck that more is more, it really isn't.”Financing and funding a startup seems to be the biggest sticking point for so many businesses. So much so, we invited back three incredible human beings - Anne Boden, founder and CEO of innovative challenger bank Starling Bank, Alex Depledge, co-founder of Resi and formerly Hassle.com (since sold to Helpling) and David Buttress, ex-CEO and co-founder of Just Eat to discuss their experiences.All three have had very different experiences of finance and raising funds, and so they are the perfect trio to discuss how they did it, what they were hoping to achieve and more importantly, how they handled the process, including how they coped when they came face to face with the urban legends that are in fact actual funding horror stories - because believe it or not, even the most successful entrepreneurs still face discrimination.We chat about:Raising money before you need itWhat it’s like in the lead up to going publicInner demons and horror stories that actually happen when you raise fundsRaising money as a single founder vs being a co-founderPractical processes to set up for successful fundingLinks:Starling Bankwww.helpling.comhttps://resi.co.uk/Just Eat UKWant to receive our podcast on a weekly basis?

In 2012 she bravely entered the world of entrepreneurship.In 2011 Alex and her best friend, Jules Coleman, conceived the idea behind hassle.com when they discovered how hard it was to find a piano teacher online. They realized that service providers found it hard to market themselves, as they weren’t always as tech-savvy as other entrepreneurs, and they needed to rely on word-of-mouth.Alongside co-founders Tom Nimmo and Jules Coleman, they started Teddle with the idea of connecting local service providers to customers. Two years later they rebranded to hassle.com and focused on connecting vetted cleaners to local customers. They recently sold for €32 million to German company Helpling.Alex has now launched BuildPath, a company which assesses whether house extensions are viable and how much they would cost. She also continues to be a driving force for shared parental rights in business and female equality amongst the entrepreneur scene.We chat about:Hassle’s journey from we-don’t-know-anything-about-startup-entrepreneurship to building an MVP to joining an accelerator to building the right product at the right timeWhat was raising money like in a period when there wasn’t a startup ecosystemTheir hiring challenges as first-time founders with no reputationSelling to Helpling and getting massively depressedFinding an executive coach and surviving BrexitLinks:ResiWant to receive our podcast on a weekly basis?
