Also featuring are:
• GAME FM – an innovative startup with the mantra Go A Mile Extra to make security, cleaning, concierge and facilities management, supremely well planned;

• Viewber – a field services platform that enables businesses to put a trusted person at a property or physical location – at short notice and at scale – without the cost and complexity of employing their own national field workforce;
• The Depositary – a PropTech SaaS platform that digitises and streamlines the residential end-of-tenancy process for letting agents, landlords and tenants;
• LettingaProperty.com – which helps landlords save time, cut costs and secure guaranteed rent with expert support and smart online tools;
