MedicAlert's main office in Kings Cross was flooded due to botched maintenance work being carried out by Thames Water on a nearby water main. Water was left to leak into the office over the weekend of 11-12 March and staff returning to work on Monday morning found a flood two inches deep. As a charity providing a potentially life-saving emergency service, the resultant DR situation meant we desperately needed new office space to house the forty staff members and their extensive filing requirements left dispossessed by the flood. Time was obviously going to be a critical factor in identifying new work space.
The flood was discovered on Monday 13 March. We called EasyOffices 3 days later, on 16 March and sent an email confirming our requirements. Within 12 hours they had emailed us a comprehensive list of nine potential serviced offices and, as a result, we visited them all. EasyOffices arranged nine appointments for us, starting Friday 17 March. By the following Monday we had signed a contract with one of the companies. Rental commenced the very next day. EasyOffices kept in contact with us throughout each working day, quickly rearranging appointments and providing an excellent liaison with the companies we were dealing with. It was an extremely useful and time-saving service.
Our primary concern was to relocate our staff as soon as possible. However, we were not fully aware of how specific our needs were until we began searching for temporary office space. It soon became apparent that as an organisation we have very specific telecoms requirements. Luckily, EasyOffices were able to provide three viable solutions to suit all our needs. In fact, all of the technical requirements we had specified were met and all the offices EasyOffices suggested were well within the specified locality to our current premises. Without EasyOffices moving office could have been a very long and arduous task.

Notice:
Regus plc, the world's largest provider of real and virtual office space, owns 49% of the shares in our company. For a period of time prior to and including August 2010, there was a technical error with one of the phone numbers displayed on this website, being the US number +1 866 494 3533. Instead of diverting to the Easy Offices team, this number was incorrectly diverting to the 'FlexPerks Activation' line, a partnership that Regus plc had in the United States, and was consequently being answered by Regus representatives who managed that line. This problem has since been rectified.

Offices to Rent
For those companies needing a longer term agreement, which already have their own furniture, telephone system etc will benefit from the security of a longer term lease.
