Proptech for lettings industry, scales up their sales team with a familiar face
Earlier this month Symple announced the appointment of Thomas (Tom) Goy as their new BDM, a seasoned professional with over 20 years’ experience in the UK property industry, he is the latest addition to its expanding team.
Goy has built a respected career across some of the country’s most influential property portals, Rightmove, Zoopla, and OnTheMarket, where he worked directly with estate and letting agents of all sizes. This extensive background has given him a deep understanding of the pressures and priorities facing today’s property professionals.
At the heart of his approach is a simple belief: property is about people, not just bricks and mortar. That ethos aligns perfectly with Symple’s mission to simplify compliance and reduce administrative strain for agents and landlords through smart, intuitive technology.
Since joining Symple, Goy has already been engaging with agents across the UK to understand their workflows and highlight where the platform adds value. Commenting recently on LinkedIn, he reflected on the most common response he’s heard so far:
“We already have a CRM and great local contractors, so we don’t need another platform.”
Tom acknowledged this as “a fair point,” but he explained that Symple isn’t designed to replace existing systems — it’s designed to complement them:
“We don’t replace your CRM — we lighten the admin that comes with chasing renewals, scheduling, and paperwork. We don’t replace your trusted contractors — you can still use them. We simply give you a safety net when things get busy, someone’s away, or a job needs urgent cover.”
‘Symple gives agents a single place to manage and track compliance tasks, ensuring nothing “slips through the cracks.” Some agencies use the platform as a day-to-day compliance partner, while others rely on it as an overflow solution during peak periods.
Goy summarised the platform’s appeal succinctly: “Book gas safety certificates, EICRs, EPCs, and callouts in one click – we’ll take care of reminders, scheduling, and paperwork from start to finish.”
His appointment reflects Symple’s growing momentum and commitment to combining industry experience with proptech innovation. With Goy on board, the company is well-positioned to strengthen relationships across the agency landscape and further its goal of making compliance and property management truly Symple.
