Housing Sector Podcast #44 — Rethinking the Rules: Disrupting the Dysfunction with Simon Reay
Description
In this episode, I speak with Simon Reay, Group Director at Rubixx, one of the alternative tech providers shaking up a sector long dominated by legacy systems and outdated thinking.
With more than two decades of experience in social housing, Simon brings insight into how Rubixx is building smarter, resident-focused systems that streamline service delivery without losing sight of the people they’re built for. For Rubixx, “resident at the heart” isn’t a buzzword — it’s embedded in the software design from the ground up.
We also dive into the unspoken barriers to innovation in the housing sector — namely, the prohibitive costs of exhibiting at conferences and the gatekeeping culture that often shuts out smaller, more agile providers. If your organisation has ever asked why fresh solutions are hard to come by, this episode might offer part of the answer.
Are we unintentionally blocking innovation with closed doors and closed minds? And if so, what needs to change?
Watch now on YouTube, listen on your preferred audio platform, or stream it directly from our website at housingsector.co.uk — wherever you tune in, this is a conversation the sector can’t afford to ignore.
