ULS technology has recruited Nick Huntley as head of sales, to take its digital home moving tools to market with estate agents.

With nearly 25 years’ experience in financial services and technology, Huntley has previously held senior roles at businesses including Rightmove, Zoopla and Credas.

He said: “The last 18 months have put enormous pressure on estate agents, solicitors, and home movers. We’re looking to work with all parties to find a better solution. We’ve developed DigitalMove for use by solicitors and home movers, to bring a more efficient and transparent approach to the process – and more than 60,000 transactions have already gone through the platform.

“We’re keen to engage more estate agents into the conversation and, while we realise that technology alone can’t solve every issue, we believe that it can bring significant enhancements to what currently exists.

“Having previously worked with ULS technology, I’m really excited to join the business and work with its forward-thinking senior management on its DigitalMove solution.

“I’m keen to speak to estate agents to understand the challenges that they see day to day. I’ve already had some fascinating conversations with reputable agents and I’m looking forward to speaking to many more in the coming weeks and months.”

Simon McCulloch, chief commercial & growth officer at ULS technology, added: “At ULS technology, we have a fantastic opportunity to introduce real transparency to home moving through greater digitisation – making the process more customer focused and efficient. I’m really pleased that Nick has joined our team to help extend our reach to more estate agents and home buyers.”
