Regus UK: Demand is Soaring Despite “the whole Brexit thing”
Flexible workspace operators often cite opportunity during times of uncertainty, and Regus is no exception. Speaking to BQ on Monday, Regus UK boss Richard Morris says demand continues to soar despite the UK’s decision to split from the European Union.
“In some respect, the whole Brexit thing and the uncertainty has helped boost demand for our products and services,” he said. “Businesses more than ever want to remain agile … More so now as the economic climate looks so uncertain.”
The Executive Centre Plans to Double China Serviced Office Portolio by 2020
The Executive Centre is planning to double its portfolio in China within the next four years, says CEO Paul Salnikow. As such, by 2020, TEC could be sitting on more than 100 serviced offices in China alone, up from their current portfolio of 53.
Speaking to Shanghai Daily, he said that China “is our largest and most important market, where we are opening five new centers this year in Shanghai alone,” adding: “2017 will be our largest year for growth in China as we are adding centers in each of our existing markets.”
