Canopy Appoints Curran McKay as Director of Business Development
Canopy, the InsureTech company which is re-engineering the property rental market, announced today that it has appointed Curran McKay, the co-founder and former CEO of Reposit, as Director of Business Development.
McKay joins following Canopy’s successful £1.6 second round of funding, including £1.3 million from Direct Line Group and backing from Experian. McKay will be responsible for a number of key business areas, including business growth and furthering property sector partnerships, which already include Hamptons International, GetLiving, Atlas Residential, Sonder and Tipi (Quintain).
Working with CEO Tahir Farooqui, McKay will also be responsible for increasing the uptake of its RentPassport™ and deposit free renting backed by HISCOX.
For renters, RentPassport™ acts as a record of trust and credibility. All applicants undergo rigorous screening that includes credit checks powered by Experian. The results appear in the renters account instantly and replaces the need for multiple checks by each and every estate agent.
RentPassport™ is also used by landlords and agents in their assessment of renters, which removes the red tape and friction from the on-boarding process.
Tahir Farooqui, CEO and founder of Canopy, said, “With a wealth of industry knowledge and connections, Curran will play a vital role in our development growth and to help complete our vision of improving the overall rental ecosystem.”
Curran McKay, Director of Business Development of Canopy, commented, “Since Canopy entered the market, I was impressed with the company’s proposition and market vision. I believe Canopy has the ability to re-engineer the rental property market and make it more suitable to today’s renters, landlords and agents.”
