Democratising homeownership for a new generation of buyers with Polly Gilbert, CMO at Tembo
Show Notes

In the UK 70% of housing wealth is owned by less than 20% of the population. 


Tembo, a 'family lending platform,' enables first-time buyers to get on the housing ladder by brokering a small interest-only mortgage on their parents' - or another family member or friend's - home. They’re on a mission to destigmatise utilising the so-called “bank of mum and dad” to democratise homeownership for a new generation of buyers.

We spoke to Polly Gilbert, Tembo’s CMO to explore how Tembo is helping people to achieve their homeownership goals through family lending.

From helping Londoners take action against homelessness, to joining the founding team at Tembo, there’s no denying Polly’s personal experience in marketing is more vast and varied than your traditional CMO, making this episode one of the most insightful to date…
