Case Study

I work as a sole trader providing a variety of psychological services to individuals and organisations. I help companies identify key staff to build their business and then help those key players perform at peak levels. I also provide therapeutic services to get vital personnel back to 100% when mental health issues reduce their effectiveness and, by extension, business performance. I help companies identify customer need, even when the customer isn't exactly sure themselves what they want, and help businesses avoid sending unhelpful unconscious messages in marketing and customer management.

Like other small businesses, I began by working from home. This seemed like an attractive option at the time - no traveling, no rental costs, working when I liked - and was fine whilst customer demand was low. It also quite suited me whilst I was writing my doctoral thesis. Now, however, demand is growing rapidly, and working from home has become an encumbrance for us all. It's no fun for the other householders to tiptoe around the house to avoid impacting on meetings. A serviced office offered me the physical and mental space to develop the business and separate my home and work-life out. I can work when I like, but now I can leave work at work and not have it hanging around the house imposing itself on essential downtime. I also appreciate the professional management of my clients and customers that the serviced office system brings. My phone gets answered even when I'm unavailable and small admin problems have disappeared: the business centre simply provides what I need with minimal fuss and cost. I'm not tied into endless leases, I didn't need a solicitor and I can move easily to larger accommodation should I need to.

I contacted Easy Offices on the Friday afternoon of one week and was in my new office on the Friday afternoon of the next. In a short phone call, Jo took careful note of my requirements and had appointments for me to view suitable spaces set up within a couple of hours. The appointments ran smoothly and the options offered were spot on. All I had to do was turn up and view!

Out of four viewings, I was left with three excellent options. The hardest part of the whole process was choosing between an embarrassment of riches! I am now happily signed up in a small, friendly business centre with a delightful fully serviced office complete with its own roof garden. The solution could not have been more perfect if I had designed it from scratch.

Case Study

Our company is involved in software development, spellchecking programs for people with reading and writing difficulties. We needed Serviced Office space because I had worked from home, where it got increasingly crowded and impossible to work after we had a baby and my office was turned into a nursery.

After contacting Easy Offices I received an email with a serviced office offer after a few weeks (I think), replied to state an interest in viewing the office offered, got in touch with the landlord and arranged for a viewing a few days later. All was very smooth.

The solution offered through Easy Offices was small, but had everything I asked for. The only thing I miss is a common room, which was available at another office I viewed (but that office did not suit me). If you work alone, you really appreciate a space where you can socialize with other people in the building over your lunch sandwich.

Location: Bristol

Case Study

We are a small group of Financial Advisors who have formed our own network over a number of years by working together. To date the advisors have been home based. We are expanding our business focus to include Insurance and Protection Products and are now aiming to expand into the Debt Management aspect of financial advice. Therefore we are able to cover all most major aspects of personal finance as a one stop shop.

We wanted serviced offices because there will be a need to have a number of office based meetings with clients, and the Bristol serviced offices offered a level of service and facilities which was second to none.

The options offered by Easy Offices were very "user friendly", that is to say we had a 20 minute meeting to identify our needs and aspirations. We were then shown 3 options within the budget I had given. I had initially booked 2 other office development viewings as comparables, these were cancelled as I had made the decision to proceed. The lease was drafted, and within 2 days it was a "done deal"-easy

Company: FMK Global Limited

Business Sector: Logistics and Freight Forwarding

Website: www.fmkglobal.com

Location: Heathrow

Case Study

FMK Global provide a number of services within the Logistics and Freight Forwarding Industry, including worldwide Express services, Air, Sea, and Road Freight Forwarding services together with Exhibition setup and dismantling services. We also provide bespoke Logistics solutions tailored specifically to the requirements of our clients.

Our area of expertise includes the ability to provide consultancy and project management services for our clients setting up new trading routes, together with sales and marketing services for our partner businesses.

We pride ourselves on our ability to deliver "service without compromise".

The business began operating from home but required a "focal point" and presence near London Heathrow Airport. A serviced office contract being the preferred option, providing affordable and flexible accommodation which can be increased as the business expands.

Thus the difficulty of committing to a long term lease, which may or may not provide a long term accommodation solution, is avoided. In addition financial resources, which might otherwise be tied up in a lease, can be released to other areas of the business.

Serviced Office accommodation options were found and viewings organised within 24 hours. The first option we viewed met our criteria to such an extent that two subsequent viewings were cancelled.

The process involved completing an Easy Offices on-line enquiry form, found via an on-line Search Engine and within an hour, receiving a follow up telephone call from Easy Offices to clearly define our requirements. The same day a viewing schedule was provided to us with appointments for the next day.

The serviced office solution was exactly what we required and at a negotiated price that we could realistically afford.
