Devono is a commercial property company with a difference – it’s the only one to exclusively represent tenants looking to rent office space in London. Offering unbiased advice, Devono helps tenants to find the best office space for the best possible terms. Boasting an unrivalled level of market intelligence, last year it acquired more offices for businesses than any other property company in London. Customers range from start-ups to Toshiba, Bebo and Eon, and all receive the same high standard of service. Several companies have gone back to Devono when expanding, resulting in far more lucrative deals. Turnover has doubled each year and is now £2.5m. Leigh is confident of growth even in a downturn, saying: “Whether businesses need larger or smaller space, they still need to move.”
