Fledgling proptech firm expands with London office opening
A Swinton proptech business has opened an office in North London to serve customers throughout London and the South East.
Symple was launched in May 2021 and already employs 16 staff at its headquarters on the M60 Office Park in Swinton.
It is a cloud-based platform for residential landlords, estate and letting agents and homeowners. It manages property certificates for single and multiple sites, including those for gas safety, electrical installation condition reports and residential energy performance, all of which are required by law.
It also manages bookings for inspections and arranges for accredited and strictly vetted service providers – gas safety engineers, electricians and energy assessors – to carry them out.
Symple currently looks after 3,000 properties and aims to increase its portfolio to 10,000 by the end of 2022.
The new office is located in Hendon, north London, and is headed by product specialist David Schauder, who leads the innovation and development arm of the business. A recruitment drive is now under way for sales and other staff in the new office.
Founder and chief executive, Simon Dresdner, said: “Our new office in London provides a strong platform from which to further accelerate growth in line with our business plan.
“Our client base in and around the capital is increasing in size, as is our pool of service providers who carry out the inspections. As we also expand our range of services, it is important to have a presence there.”
Symple is part of Kingsbury Holdings, the parent company of several service providers in the property and facilities management sectors. The Kingsbury group includes Merco Facilities Services, a commercial cleaning business, and FCS Management Services, a business rates management company.
