Testimonials

Gareth Stafford - Griffin Capital Management (UK) Ltd

Devono did a great job for us, covering both the office searches and lease negotiations.

I felt like we were in safe hands with friendly and efficient people who knew and understood the market and fought our corner in negotiations. I would certainly recommend them.

Andrew Bolton - On Demand Group

Devono did an excellent job for On Demand from beginning to end.

You showed patience as our requirements changed and understood what we looking for at each stage of the process. Your independence through the supplier selection was invaluable and the clear and thoughtful advice you were able to provide helped us to overcome the many challenges we encountered in the programme.

I would be very happy to recommend your services to other clients and would single out the first class service provided by your Relocation Management team for particular praise."

Dave Wheeler - Allocate Software plc

Two things were important to us when selecting someone to find us our new corporate home: competence and trust. Devono's competence speaks for itself not only in the remarkable growth and success that the company has had in such a short space of time, but also in the quality of the deals that the company is able to achieve for its clients working on their exclusive behalf. Trust is something that grows: in the way that.

All of the Devono team members treated each one of us involved in the relocation project in the way they accommodated our changing requirements; in the way that they respected our budgets and our deadlines. Competence is something that many commercial agents have - even if Devono have the edge. Trust in commercial agents, on the other hand, is something I would only give to Devono.

Guy Eggleton - BioMarin Europe Ltd - Agency & Relocation Management

Our second time using Devono and again I was very impressed with the team - friendly, efficient and extremely commercial and honest. They understood the brief and worked hard to deliver the right property for our needs.  In what was an unfamiliar area to me, they provided guidance on key issues and negotiated very good terms, highly recommendable.

From a Relocation Management perspective, the relocation was managed in a timely and professional manner with an eye always on the bottom line. They provided good recommendations for contractors and suppliers and made a time-consuming and difficult process almost enjoyable!  

Alex Enness, E.ON Ruhrgas UK North Sea Ltd.

Devono provided E.ON Ruhrgas with excellent support, guidance and valuable industry knowledge during the search for our new office location.

Their service provided our Management Team with an extensive list of the options available both on and off the market so that we felt an informed decision could be made on our move.

It is evident that Devono is a dynamic company, who put the interests of the tenants as their sole priority in the London commercial office market place.

Sash Rana, Paragon Consultancy

It was a pleasure working with Devono - the team were very professional, knowledgeable and provided the right advice when needed.  The most important aspect was that you took time to understand what we were after rather than position everything on the market.

I would not hesitate recommending you and your firm.

Jas Sekhon, PAAMCO - Relocation Management

We selected Devono to project manage our move because they were able to demonstrate a thorough understanding of the process for our business relocation. Their approach and attention to detail in coordinating and managing the move enabled us to focus on our day to day business.

The relocation of our business was seamless, stress free, on time and to budget all done very professionally.

Michael Vassiliou, Egencia (formally known as Expedia Corporate Travel) - Relocation Management

Given a very short time frame to work from. Devono helped source our new location, negotiate a fantastic deal and finally project manage the move to a very good standard.

It was a pleasure to work with a company who understands the commercial property market and works tirelessly on behalf of the tenant.

Edward Doueihi at Capelli New York PLC

We came from the US to an unfamiliar territory. Devono provided us with a very personal and professional service that exceeded expectations. In short, it was spot on!

Alan Clayton, Cascaid

I feel I must take this opportunity to express my extreme satisfaction, nay delight, at both the deal you have found and brokered on our behalf and the service we have received.

The office space we have achieved for our budget is far bigger and better than we would ever have expected- and far better than we would have managed on our own. Your fee has been very, very worthwhile to the Cascaid Group.

I must also comment that the service received from Devono has been exemplary. In what I have experienced to be the unpleasant world of estate agency it has been a real joy to work with you. You have been driven, proactive, reliable and extremely quick and responsive. The fact that you are pleasant to work with has been a bonus.

Working with Devono has been one of the very best customer experiences of my business career.

Jane Hunter, Current Medicine Group

We worked with Devono to find our new office space in EC2, and we couldn't have done it without them.

Our agent worked tirelessly and creatively on our behalf, everything he showed us was relevant to our requirements, and we're confident that he negotiated the best possible deal with our new landlords.

We're delighted with the space we've now leased. If we have to move again, it will be with the assistance of Devono.

Lisa Allen, Digital Window

It's no exaggeration to say we couldn't have done this without you, I personally would have gone insane without having your help & support.

Throughout it all you were the one company I felt I could truly rely on to give me an honest & accurate picture of what was going on.  With your help I have made some great contacts & learnt invaluable information about your industry.

Jasvinder Sekhon, Pacific Alternative Asset

I would like to thank you very much with all the help and guidance you gave us in search of our new office space.

We did not have a clue about the property market whatsoever and you also managed to negotiate an excellent deal with our landlord.

You were most helpful throughout the whole process and saved us considerable time and effort and exceeded our expectations.

I would like to thank you very much for all your help and support that you gave us throughout the process.

Patrick, Fellow Productions

Now all the dust has settled I would like to thank you very much indeed for all the help you gave me during the acquisition and purchase of our new offices. With your guidance it became a totally stress free and painless process.

When I first decided I needed to buy a commercial property I honestly hadn't a clue where to start. On contacting numerous agencies via the Internet I became very despondent about the slow pace, and their indifference to my needs, that is until you returned my call. You almost literally took me by the hand and guided me through the property searches, offers, purchase, and remained wholly available for advice and help after completion. I am very grateful to you and very happy with our new offices.

Richard Towers, Operations Director, Oakleigh

I am writing to thank you for your help during Oakleigh Consulting's recent search for new London office rental.

I greatly appreciate the searches you undertook and the guidance you gave. You developed very rapidly an understanding of our needs, so that you were able to focus our attention on suitable offices. I was particularly impressed with the depth of your knowledge of the London property market.

Importantly, I valued your independence, which meant you were able to advise us objectively and represent our interests in negotiating the best deal possible. I can assure you that I shall have no hesitation in calling on Devono's services the next time I need London offices.

David Grant, Director, Fourth Hurdle

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your hard work on our behalf. We are very pleased with the final terms agreed, and we recognise that we could not possibly have achieved this outcome without your help and expertise.

We are looking forward- at long last- to moving to our new premises.

Thanks you once again for your help.

Peter Larson, CEO, Enpocket

Our experience with Devono and you specifically could not have been better. It was a relief to have an expert negotiating on our behalf and, most importantly, sticking with a long and difficult assignment.

Florence Monti, Salland Limited

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and the Devono team for all your efforts in helping us find suitable office space.

I was very impressed with the efficient and professional service that you provided us, considering our demanding office requirements. The turn around time was very impressive and the market knowledge you provided us with helped us to meet our deadline.

I believe without your help we would not have been able to conclude this matter as efficiently and successfully. I look forward to working with you again in the future and will not hesitate to recommend Devono to others.

Oli Barrett, The Rainmakers

I was impressed by the service I received from Devono when it came to finding new offices. They considerably reduced the stress, hassle and time that this process would have otherwise involved and we are chuffed with the end result.

Mark Seabright, Nexus

Thank you very much indeed for all your sterling efforts; we couldn't have done this without you!

You did a great job for us, and as you know I have already been recommending you to friends and colleagues who are looking not only for a good deal, but for a professional and cost effective service.
