ABOUT US
Our Mission
Our mission is to be the essential intelligence platform for the UK's commercial property and construction community. Built by a Chartered Surveyor for the industry, we modernise property media by curating the leading perspectives, projects, and PropTech that are actively future-proofing real estate.
Why We Exist
We exist because the real estate industry is driven by people, relationships, and strategic narratives. While traditional headlines focus on the 'what' (the deal), we focus on the 'why', the leading perspectives and human stories behind the headlines.
CRE Insider was built to be the platform for this deeper, more valuable conversation. We create a community where decision-makers can share credible intelligence and connect on a strategic level. We are the go-to source for who's saying what in the industry.
Our Vision
Our vision is an industry where credible intelligence and strategic collaboration replace speculation. We envision a future-proofed built environment where profitable ESG solutions are the norm, and where sustainability, inclusive design, and innovation are recognised as the most powerful drivers of long-term commercial value.
Our Core Pillars
Our intelligence is structured around the three commercial pillars of future-proofing real estate:
-
Sustainability: Curating leading perspectives on Net Zero Carbon, Green Finance, and the commercial viability of sustainable development.
-
Inclusive Design: Spotlighting the 'S' in ESG, from measurable social value and human-centric placemaking to creating accessible spaces that de-risk assets.
-
Innovation: Showcasing the PropTech, projects, and leaders that are actively creating more valuable, efficient, and intelligent assets.
Rico Naylor
Founder / CEO
As an MRICS-qualified surveyor, I founded CRE Insider to modernise property media. My experience showed me the industry is driven by strategic narratives, so I built a platform, by a surveyor, for the industry, focused on the people and stories behind the headlines.
I lead the strategic development of both CRE Insider (media) and CRE Studio (production). As a creatively-minded surveyor, my unique role is to act as the conduit between commercial strategy and creative execution. I ensure every asset we create, from an article to a video, provides tangible value and helps our partners win their next client.
Josh Newton
Head of Creative / Digital
I lead the creative and digital output at CRE Insider, from web development and design to the visual content that brings the brand to life. Coming from outside the commercial real estate world gives me a fresh perspective on how the industry can look and feel online.
After completing a full-time coding course, I’ve focused on blending clean, functional design with bold creative to help CRE Insider stand out on every screen.
