Its annual revenue of £20 million and 320 employees brings the Odevo group annual revenue to £134 million and 1,700 employees. Together the Odevo companies manage a portfolio of more than half a million homes.

Odevo was created to improve the experience of property management for residents through better technology and customer service. Putting technology at the heart of its business and investing heavily in developing a platform tailored for the UK management market.

Jonathan Smith, CEO of Trinity Property Group, comments: “We are delighted to become part of the growing Odevo group, which will allow us to continue to improve service delivery for our customers and clients.
