What Savills say

"We were extremely excited to participate in the CUBE Competition. Gamification provided an added incentive to participate competitively on the very important issue of energy conservation. We were proud to be the highest gross saver across the whole competition, and to have showcased our innovation and hard graft in making savings. Our occupiers and landlord were equally as proud of 20 Fenchurch Street’s collaborative achievement."
