These five companies will pitch for a final time on the second day of Ecobuild 2015 in front of a panel of experts, including senior representation from M&S, plus the entire South Arena audience. The successful company will work with M&S to investigate applying the winning product or service into the retailer's buildings.

Munish Datta, Head of Plan A and Facilities Management at M&S, said: "We were extremely impressed with the quality of the pitches presented to us and found it challenging to narrow so many interesting products to a final five.
