Mobilise.com launched to monetise the billions of dollars of idle assets in Australia and provide access to a wider variety of assets in more locations at lower prices. Mobilise is supported by Aon, the world’s largest insurance broker and a marketing partnership was formed with the Housing Industry Association to target opportunities in the building and construction industry.
