Marking Regus’ 14th flexible workspace in the city, the new location is opening up just outside the city centre in Stretford. Just 30 minutes by car from the city centre and only 15 minutes from Manchester Airport, the new flexible working centre is ideal for businesses looking to operate away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, whilst being within easy reach of national and international transport links. Manchester has welcomed flexible working into its heart, with Regus centres across the city, and this latest centre taps into a UK-wide trend. Research shows that 53% of professionals globally now work remotely for at least half their working week and 30% of corporate real estate portfolios could be flexible workspace by 2030. So there is no time like the present for Manchester’s businesses, large and small, to jump on the flexible working trend. Richard Morris, UK CEO of Regus: “Demand for flexible office space is growing rapidly – our research shows that 53% of professionals globally now work remotely for at least half their working week and 30% of corporate real estate portfolios could be flexible workspace by 2030. People are recognising that they are far more productive and successful in a dynamic working environment, while businesses are waking up to the financial and strategic benefits. Regus is helping to supply this demand and drive a workspace revolution in Britain. “We are delighted to be opening this new site in Manchester. The area offers the best of what Manchester has on offer, with all the benefits of a central city location, and plenty to do outside of the office.”
Regus has announced plans to open a flexible working centre in Stretford, Greater Manchester. The new facility will be located on the site of the former British Leyland plant and is expected to create around 100 jobs.
