Case Study

We needed to set up a new EMEA sales office based out of the UK - we had previously operated from our European HQ in Brussels, but this is now operating as our back office function. We wanted to have the new sales office in place from the start of our fiscal year - 01 August, and therefore needed a quick solution, with minimal investment. Initially we had a requirement to accommodate 8-10 people.

I emailed Easy Offices via their website address and requested meetings at 3 potential venues, that I had found via the website. The meetings were set up for my preferred date the following week. I also then received another 3 contacts via potential service providers, which I was also able to set up to view in the same timescale. After viewing the sites, I short listed to 2, and reviewed them a week later. The final decision was taken within that week, and the license set in place within 10 days. In all the overall process took less than 4 weeks.

Ideal - we will be moving in on 14 August, although the premises are licensed from 01 August.

Payroll Services (UK) Ltd. Supplies payroll administration to freelancers. Specialising in freelancers in the entertainment, film and music industries we also offer our services to other freelance specialists, such as IT, transport and promotions experts.

A serviced office allows us to concentrate on building our service and client base without worrying about the little things - which can soon turn into big things! With the serviced office company taking over all our utility and structural concerns, we can spend more of our time taking on the payroll concerns of our clients, knowing it's all sorted.

Fantastic customer service meant we were given a prompt and exceptional email-based guide to what was available in our chosen area. Being based overseas, this was invaluable to us, saving hundreds of miles of travel! Our wonderful EasyOffices contact then kindly arranged for a viewing schedule of the most appropriate offices for the dates we had available. Our visit was then followed up with further offers of assistance. I have just taken on the office today and it's brilliant. I can't thank EasyOffices enough for helping us find such a perfect solution.

The office is exactly what we had envisaged: A modern and attractive building in an excellent setting. It is easily accessible by road, rail and air and exactly portrays the image we have aimed for, in keeping with our overseas partners. The space is no bigger than we need, so we're not paying for anything we won't use, but there is ample opportunity for expansion in the future. Excellent!

Case Study

We are a specialist Recruitment company with a Head Office in Sydney and another office in Perth and South Africa. We specialise in Accounting and Engineering. I am what we call a Resourcer / Sourcer and I support the Manager of the Sydney office and the Senior Consultant mainly.

Because we needed to set up an office / satellite office in London and thought that it was the best way to go after having spoken to a number of people currently living in London, friends and ex employees also currently living here. I must say Nicolette Stacey was an absolute pleasure to work with, right from the very first call. During the first contact I mentioned what I was after in terms or size, location and facilities and she managed to arrange 4 viewings on that same day with about 3 hours notice. Out of the 4 offices I viewed on that day, 3 were absolutely perfect and did meet all the criteria and facilities required. Couldn't have asked for better to be honest, close to the tube station, highly secure building, situated in an area that is perfect for us, spacious office (even has a view!) , well equipped, friendly staff, modern furniture and excellent facilities on-site.

With Easy Offices as a contact, the process was relatively quick, targeted and efficient. We have now found our ideal location for the next 12 months, but I would not hesitate to use Easy Offices in the future should the need arise.

I want to thank you and the team for your help yesterday.

I am setting up a European business and working from home. However, I moved house and I have had enormous problems with the installation of telecoms including both phone and internet. I was looking at being out of action for a few weeks which would have been a disaster at this critical selling period of the year for me.

I called you yesterday, you set up office visits within an hour, I visited two of the options and chose the one I am now sat in. Between calling you and making my first business call from this office was less than 3 and 1/2 hours. Your team and the people here at Signature House have been extremely helpful. The office is ideal as are the rental terms and cost.

Again, thanks for helping me keep the business going, I will certainly stay in touch and I will not hesitate to recommend you in the future.
