Case Study

We are a firm of independent financial advisers, and are specialists in personal injury. We advise recipients of damages awards, their legal teams and the courts on the financial aspects of making compensation meet an individual's needs.

The world of personal injury and clinical negligence litigation has seen unprecedented change over the last 15 years in both the quantification of damages and methods of payment.

Throughout this period PFP has provided expert financial advice taking into account these changes and has been at the forefront of development in areas such as periodical payments, personal injury trusts and bespoke investment planning.

Our business and main office is located in Sandbach, Cheshire. One of the directors, who lives some distance away from the main office, required a base near his home, where he could work remotely, so as to use time otherwise spent travelling productively. We used Easy Offices to help search for suitable premises. Within a week of the initial contact, viewings had been arranged and negotiations concluded with the landlord, making the process painless and professional throughout.

Company: United Commissioning

Business Sector: Not for Profit Limited Liability Partnership

Website:

Location: Aylesbury

Case Study

United Commissioning is a not-for-profit limited liability partnership (LLP) representing the practice based commissioning interests of GP practices in the Vale of Aylesbury. The collaborative has 20 member practices, with approximately 100 GPs serving a population of 200,000 patients. Our purpose is to commission a range of services, in partnership with the Primary Care Trust that will improve the health and well-being of the patient population.

United Commissioning had increased its project workload and appointed a full time executive to run the 'business'. Previously the work had been managed part-time from GP practices and had no 'base' or identity. It was not possible for anyone to contact United Commissioning unless they knew who to call and what surgery they were located at.

I found Easy Offices on the internet and explained my requirements and criteria. Options listed in Aylesbury were discussed and 4 were chosen for viewings. I requested that all viewings take place on one morning and within 24 hours all viewings were arranged and a timetable; including contact details and maps (I was unfamiliar with the area) were forwarded. All the viewings took place as advised and after discussion with the Exec team a decision was made and we moved in within 8 working days. It could have been sooner if we had wished.

The chosen office space was not the cheapest, but had the greatest match with our requirements. Flexibility (use of additional hot desks), room for expansion, parking, reception staff, new modern interior and furnishings, mail repository and own telephone number answered in company name with messages taken.

The help received from Easy Offices surpassed my expectations and I would definitely use them again and recommend them to others. Nikesh was helpful and extremely efficient. I had expected finding accommodation would be a time consuming chore but it turned out to be a very easy task with the help of Easy Offices.

Company: The National Skills Academy

Industry Sector: Social Care

Website: N/A

Location: London SE1

Case Study

The National Skills Academy for Social Care is a membership organisation created by social care employers to transform the quality of leadership, management, training, development, and commissioning within the sector. Launched in August 2009, the company has grown from around 8 to 30 staff in the past 18 months.

Since our launch, we have been renting space via an SLA from another social care organisation, SCIE, but the building we occupy has been sold and we were told we would need to vacate the premises by August 2010. At this point in our development, we're not ready to commit to a 3 or 5 year lease and as a relatively new business we would likely encounter problems securing a lease.

We currently receive funding from the Departments of Health and Business but this is only for our start up stage, the ultimate aim being to become self sufficient and within the next 18 months, when it is expected that funding will cease. With that in mind, the flexibility offered via serviced office space was the main attraction as it will enable us to grow our business over the next 12 months or so and take stock.

Options were made available to us by Easy Offices extremely quickly. Within 30 minutes or so of emailing an enquiry, Andrew Hogan was on the phone to talk through our requirements and explain their services. As I knew nothing about serviced office space prior to this, I found this extremely helpful.

All the pain was taken out of the search – a series of options were presented, appointments for viewings were set up, maps were supplied and site managers liaised with – all I had to do was show up! Andrew was always available to chat through the options, answer questions and explain the process – I simply could not have done it without him.

Easy Offices came up with a wide choice of options and a steady stream of helpful advice and continued to do so as our brief changed – which it did several times! It was great knowing there was someone at the end of a phone working with and for us to find the right solution. We weren't easy customers by any means, but Andrew's patience never ran out and everyone I spoke to at the office seemed to know who I was and were always lovely and friendly.

The service provided by Easy Offices was absolutely first rate. From start to finish, I felt like I was in safe hands and that Easy Offices had our best interests at heart.

Company:B&G International Market Research

Industry Sector:Market Research & Consumer Insight, Marketing and Business Consultancy

Website: www.bg-imr.com

Location: London Battersea

Case Study

Realtime research is an imperative in the Digital Age. As traditional research companies struggle to adapt B&G International Market Research has been delivering a range of services to the world's biggest brands as well as to established market research companies.

With operations in London, Brussels and Paris B&G IMR has been delivering realtime research data by leveraging online techniques and social media, creating short term communities which enable realtime research when the event happens. This enables our customers to measure much more accurately their below-the-line marketing activities. This combined with traditional research techniques, which offer pre and post event data, maximises the insight and thus the agility of our client's marketing team to fine tune their multi channel marketing activities.

Stephane Goethals, Commercial Director at B&G IMR says: "With a growing team B&G International Marketing Research has outgrown it's existing project offices in Covent Garden and was looking for flexible office spaces with the least day to day management overhead to enable our fast growing team to focus on its core business: "Delivering the best in class insight to our clients". The office needed to offer flexible space with the means to grow from 4 to 20 employees within the next 12 months at a competitive price point and within easy access to the tube and mainline rail stations."

Easy Offices offered us a hassle free service. We had been viewing offices as well as negotiating with our existing serviced office supplier for two weeks independently and had trouble getting viewings sorted at a time that suited us. We also needed independent advice on rates in different parts of London and an unbiased view of what was on offer with the main players. Less than 24 hours after contacting Easy Offices viewings were arranged and we were able to narrow down our search to three properties in different parts of London.

We finally opted for modern, airy and bespoke serviced offices in Battersea. Their bespoke service enables us to grow our business within the property at a very competitive cost. With hindsight we would not have wasted valuable time looking for serviced office providers and setting up viewings ourselves as the cost of time and travel was not worth our while.

After our initial enquiry we were contacted quickly to go through our exact requirements in terms of time scale, size, location and facilities. As a result a short list was drawn up for us of potential options which we were then able to further filter before arranging viewings.

Once the viewings were complete is was a simple process of signing and moving in! The thing that made a big difference to us in ensuring a smooth process was the good upfront understanding that Easy Offices had of our needs. The shortlist we were provided with gave a good range of potential locations and all met our base criteria.

The Maidstone serviced offices at Vinters Park provide the ideal new location for our business.

• Excellent transport links to London and Europe we are easily able to host customer demonstrations and workshops on site.
