Ed Mead moves on from Douglas & Gordon

Viewber imageEd Mead has left Douglas and Gordon to run Viewber, a radical new support service for the high street and online estate agency sector.

Viewber matches estate agents with viewing agents (Viewbers) and local property experts. Started in April this year, it is already operating all across the UK.

He remains a shareholder of D&G and will become a non-executive board member.

A leading London agent for 37 years, Ed Mead specialised in Chelsea property before setting up Douglas and Gordon’s New Homes department.

“I’ve loved being an agent and part of D&G’s transformation from a small company with five offices to a major player with 16. In my time I’ve seen so much change in the industry but the last few years, in particular, have been especially intriguing,” says Mead. “What began as a couple of fledgling ‘back of a fag packet’ digital ideas to help service the estate agency sector – Viewber and another for making chains more visible – have now evolved into something more serious with great potential. I can’t simply leave a sector I love, so will be continuing to consult, commentate and put deals together in my spare time – once an agent always an agent.”

Michael Hodgson, Chairman of Douglas & Gordon, adds,

“Ed has been an integral part of building the Douglas & Gordon brand in Central London and I have enjoyed working with him over many years. With his media profile and vast experience, Ed is uniquely placed to branch out into activities complementary to our industry. I am delighted that he will remain on our board and wish him every success with his new venture.”
