Foxtons employees have been accused of sexist and inappropriate behaviour following an investigation from Bloomberg. One female employee, who was 21 at the time, said a manager and co-workers would grope her and discuss her weight in work WhatsApp chats.

Bloomberg spoke to 20+ former and current Foxtons employees over the course of six months, while employees were also accused of racism, anti-semitism, bullying and drink-driving. The…

The premier cryptocurrency’s negative start to February — dropping around $92,000 on the first day — was a sign of what’s to come later in the month. The Bitcoin price has since slipped beneath $80,000, posting one of its worst February performances in recent years.

On cold nights, the poor stuffed rice stalks into old clothes to keep warm. “What did we know what a quilt was?” A man was lucky to own a single pair…

By Trevor Abrahmsohn, Glentree International I have been approached now by countless entrepreneurs looking to use an AI platform to ultimately replace the digital portals as we know them today. After all, AI is the new ‘industrial revolution’ and on many levels, will change the way we function, live and work. Effectively, a consumer won’t need to go to three different portals and then squirrel their way through a plethora of estate agents’ websites to find property, which is tedious and time-consuming for them. An AI platform, with its automatic ability to spider all the agents’ websites using its digitally…
