Global flexible workspace provider, Industrious, secures WELL Coworking Rating for its U.K. portfolio making it the largest provider to obtain the rating since its launch. Industrious has over 250+ locations across 65 cities globally, and is planning significant expansion in 2025.
Industrious’ spaces at 70 St Mary Axe, 131 Finsbury, 30 Crown Place and 77 Coleman in the City of London, 245 Hammersmith in West London and Windmill Green and St Peter’s Square in Manchester have all achieved the rating.
Industrious places a priority on experience for its customers globally, focusing on how a welcoming, well-designed and sustainable-first environment creates spaces where customers want to work and can be productive and collaborative.
Health conscious design is a leading principle of Industrious’ when providing workspace, prioritising light, superior indoor air quality, and optimised thermal comfort. For Industrious, the WELL Coworking Rating brings these elements together as a proof point of the quality of the workspace the business provides consistently across the country.
The WELL Coworking Rating is derived from the researched-backed health strategies in the WELL Building Standard and includes nearly 50 features spanning all 10 concepts in WELL, such as air and water quality, light, thermal comfort, movement and nourishment. The rating serves to validate and showcase how coworking and flexible workspaces meet evidence-based health and well-being measures, whilst also being integrated with The Instant Group’s platform to help occupiers make informed workspace decisions based on health and well-being.
Prospective coworking and flexible workspace users will be able to search for the new rating and its associated data as they access more than 350,000 flexible workplaces on Instant’s digital platforms.
Tom Redmayne, SVP, Head of Europe and Global Sales at Industrious, said, “We are incredibly proud to secure the WELL Coworking Rating for our spaces in the U.K., and lead the way in offering flex offices that meet the highest standards of quality. This recognition reflects our ongoing commitment to creating healthier, more sustainable work environments where our members can thrive and be their most productive.”
Sam Pickering, Executive Director, Head of Sustainability at The Instant Group, said, “It’s incredible to have worked with the team at Industrious who truly understand the importance of sustainable and health conscious design. The spaces they have created in Manchester and London embody all the elements of the WELL Coworking Rating and will assist customers in easily recognising this when it comes to choosing a place to work.”
IWBI President and CEO Rachel Hodgdon said, “Everyone deserves an exceptional workplace experience that supports their physical and mental health and well-being, and that is exactly what Industrious delivers. We extend our sincere congratulations to Industrious for achieving the WELL Coworking Rating across its U.K. portfolio, setting a leading example for coworking spaces that put people first.”
