Mr Bush said: “Around 75% of our customers are private domestic and we service multiple letting agents so we have the balance right at the moment. But we do want to pursue more contracted work in the future.
“It’s an exciting time for us because we set out to create something that puts the customers at the centre of what we do and it is satisfying to see that the plan is working.”
Original investor Steve Healy, an entrepreneur who has been successful with start-up and high growth companies and taking business to exit, is set to remain involved with the company following the appointment.
Mr Bush said having spent its first three years since launching establishing its process and structure, thee company was now ready to scale up and grow its workforce further.
