POD Management

Venture Round in 2017
POD Management was born out of a desire to build a firm where customers are valued and access to information is easy. The traditional property management model is to assign customer with a single point of contact who is expected to be their relationship manager, property manager, facilities manager, compliance manager and administration resource. Quite a skill set for one person to have and one which they only use during traditional working hours. So how are we different? > Our customers can choose from multiple points of contact depending on their particular need > We are available 24/7 via 'POD Anytime' for all enquiries, not just emergencies > We are innovative in using technology to simplify and automate processes, and keep everyone informed > We employ highly trained, customer focused staff so we ‘get it right’ first time and make the experience memorable > We provide self-service facilities so our customers can obtain what they want, when they want it > We add value for our customers and engage with the local community through ‘myPOD’ > And we always seek to enhance the customer experience - we want to know what we are doing well and where we can improve.

eMoov

Venture Round in 2013
Classic estate agents charge very high fees to sellers for very little support and value addition and suffer from a very poor reputation. eMoov is an industry first solution, which is genuinely helping the seller sell better with the help of technology tools and great people. This creates customer empowerment, transparency and reduced cost of servicing allowing a fee saving to be passed to the customer. Emoov charges nominal fixed fees, a fraction compared to percentage based transactions charged by old fashioned estate agents. eMoov was founded by Russell Quirk, who is an impressive entrepreneur and previously ran a five branch classic estate agent business. He is a rarity in that he is a well versed property professional incumbent disrupting an industry that is sorely in need of it. He has built an industry leading team, a fantastic technology platform and is obsessed with customer service. His PR skills are frankly awesome.
