Mike Griffiths
Managing Director & Founder of Expert Agent
“I’ve been in the estate agency industry since 1977 – I did a Land Management degree, qualified in Leicester and then worked in volume residential sales in Leicester, Birmingham, Twickenham and the South West. I even ran my own agency for a year. I drifted into writing estate agency software for myself and turned that into a business in 1988. It became the biggest supplier of estate agency software through the ’90s and I was lucky enough to sell it to a now vanished Rightmove competitor in 2000. I worked for them for a couple of years, left, took some time off and decided that I wanted to get back involved – I missed the challenge of developing software. I was joined by my old business management team and we launched Expert Agent in 2004. At the time, a totally cloud-based solution was brave but it has certainly paid off! I genuinely understand the challenges that agents face, and genuinely enjoy thinking of ways that our products can help solve them.

Molly Watt
CEO and Founder of Molly Watt Limited
Molly Watt is 21 years old from Maidenhead, a small town southeast of London, and she has Usher Syndrome—she is deafblind. Molly is oral, although she was born deaf and got her first analogue hearing aids at 18 months to enable her to access sound and to learn communication skills. She has relied on assistive technology since she was diagnosed with Usher Syndrome at age 12. She started losing her sight and has been deafblind since she was 14. She relies on technology and her trusty guide dog Unis. Molly actively began raising awareness of Usher Syndrome when she was 14 years old. Due to her reliance on assistive technology, she has become very knowledgeable about accessibility needs, and she voices her opinions regularly via her widely-read blog. For example, read about her experiences with the Apple Watch, where she demonstrated to the world how important accessibility is to those with sensory impairment. As a result of her blog, she was recently fitted with ReSound LiNX² hearing aids, which have further transformed her hearing. Such enhancements are truly life changing and she advocates this sort of technology and accessibility for all. Spearheading her own charity in the UK, she and her small team raise awareness of Usher Syndrome and its many challenges as well as fundraising to help others with small items of enhancing equipment. Molly is also an Ambassador for Sense, a UK Deafblind Charity. A published author and illustrator of a children’s book and a regular keynote speaker at various organizations, schools, and events, she has also spoken at The Houses of Parliament in London and at Harvard Medical School in Boston. Molly is regularly called upon for her opinions on accessibility features and always happy to help if it allows not just the Usher Community to benefit but all, particularly those with disabilities or the elderly whose needs are often similar to those of the deafblind.
