The former chief operating officer of Bookatable, Europe’s largest marketplace for restaurant bookings, has joined eMoov in a similar role.
Guy Halfhead’s remit is to drive eMoov’s growth and profits, with the business planning to scale rapidly next year.
Halfhead left Bookatable in September last year shortly before it was acquired by Michelin, and has spent the time since working as a consultant, mentor and angel investor.
eMoov founder and CEO Russell Quirk said: “Bringing Guy on board is about investing even further in a team of the smartest and most experienced people to take the eMoov business to the very top of consumer choice when selling or buying a home.
“The overall estate agency process in this country needs to greatly improve and Guy joins an increasingly accomplished selection of professionals that are truly leading that transformation.”
Halfhead said: “Buying or selling a house is one life’s most significant decision and currently the traditional estate agency model is broken with an abundance of examples of exorbitant fees and terrible customer service.
“eMoov is ideally placed to continue its transformation of the industry through its combination of technology and expert people while delivering greater value and unbeatable customer service to sellers and buyers at every step of the journey.
“The further growth potential in this hybrid approach to selling is huge and I’m confident our expansion will be rapid. It’s an exciting time in the industry and I’m looking forward to joining eMoov on the journey.”

Have never ever seen one of their For Sale Boards, must be another extra Online cost? or they can’t afford them because of all those Senior Staff costs?
Who does any work there?
All President Trumpussell does is release statements saying “it’s the bestest ever, this time, it really is!”

Can’t afford sale boards and can only afford a halfhead, not a whole one.

He didn’t! He left the last one 14 months ago.
Since then he’s been eking out a living as an “Advisor and Mentor” and an “Angel Investor”, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Bagged a good job then – at least until he realises he hasn’t….

An excellent appointment of someone who really, really understands the property market – or maybe just has no idea at all! Consultant, Angel and a mentor??? In the acting profession I think that is called, “between jobs” or as some might say – out of work!
And “scale rapidly next year“. I think we may possibly have heard that line from these guys earlier this year, last year, the year before that and the year before that and the year……….
