The Vixus Property Advisory Team
Darien Jay
CEO Vixus Group
In the face of today’s challenges facing all businesses we have to think smarter about ways to keep improving standards whilst working with ever tighter budgets. The old fashioned methods of ‘beating up’ our suppliers are no longer appropriate; instead we need to redefine the relationship to ensure that all stakeholders are benefitting from the arrangment. My role is to create a foundation for this positive relationship to grow, by bringing progressive minded clients and industry leading suppliers together, and providing them with the tools to work harmoniously.
