Located on Greek Street, just off Soho Square, the new offices are set within an attractive Georgian-style building. The business centre is fast establishing popularity with relocating businesses in the Soho area; despite being launched just one month ago, the offices are already half let.

Martin Sargeant of Reflex Solutions told Easy Offices’ news site: “The Greek Street building and location is the perfect way to jump into double figures for us. It’s barely a month since the building opened and we’re 50% occupied, which says a lot, given the tough time most of our competitors had during February.”

The property has undergone a comprehensive refurbishment that, while producing a contemporary working environment, has remained sympathetic to the building’s period character. Original, attractive features have been retained including cornicing and fire places, helping to create an elegant yet modern working environment.

Offering a prime Soho business address, clients are placed within close proximity of a number of underground links including Tottenham Court Road and Covent Garden, Charing Cross station is also just a short walk from the building. Office suites range from 280-700 sq ft and enjoy air conditioning and high speed broadband lines. Clients also have access to Kitchen and break out areas.

A: The Serviced Office sector; and there’s no better example of this than Omnia Two in the heart of Sheffield’s professional district.

In 2009, Omnia Two’s building owners, disappointed with serviced office sales, and impressed by how Omnia One was performing on the same road, approached Omnia Offices Ltd and asked them to take over management of their business centre, which is over 6 floors, covering 30,000 sq ft.

Within just 3 months, from May to August 2009, Omnia Offices Ltd drove occupancy from 25% to 85%.Tenants come from a range of industry sectors, and are of all corporate shapes and sizes. An example is CarillionMouchel, a joint venture between Carillion plc and Mouchel Group plc, both worldwide support service and construction companies. They moved to Omnia in August 2009, needing medium term office space in the city to house their bid team for the Sheffield Highways Maintenance PFI project. Peter McLellan, Project Director of CarillionMouchel says: ‘For a dynamic organisation like ours, flexibility and the ability to locate staff quickly is paramount”.

On the other side of the size spectrum is recruitment business Consult Resolute. For business owner Ben, Omnia Two’s full range of admin support, telephone answering, call forwarding and message taking were the key deciding factors. Omnia Offices Customer Services Manager, Jackie McFall comments: “In the current climate, businesses needing office accommodation are less inclined to take on traditional leases. Serviced Offices give fixed costs and limit a businesses’ financial exposure.”

Unique amongst many of it’s competitors, Omnia Two has a relaxed, peaceful atmosphere, even though it’s located in the heart of Sheffield’s busy commercial district. And Omnia report growing demand for smaller offices. So much so, they have recently converted a further 9 offices to keep pace with demand.

Avanta’s managing director, David Alberto, comments, “This centre is in a prime location and so we are delighted to be able to add it to our ever-expanding portfolio of business centres in our core London market. The extensive refurbishment of the building infrastructure, as well as new IT, security systems and furniture as well as upgrades to lighting and ventilation systems was carried out in conjunction with constant liaison with existing office clients.

“The refurbishment of this centre underscores the robustness of our business in London and our expectations for market improvement. We recently expanded our City of London centre at Devonshire Square, by an additional 15,000 sq ft, and have just exchanged contracts on a further City centre, at One Fetter lane. This brings the number of Avanta business centres in central London to 14 and increase our overall UK portfolio to 19 locations.”

Agents, Architects and Management Companies were treated to drinks and canapés at the Eversholt Street complex on Thursday 4 March, 2010, where, as well as fully-furnished offices and meeting rooms, facilities include a staffed reception, 24 hour access, telephone answering, secretarial services and virtual offices.

The Company also announced 15 per cent commission for agents and a further incentive of a five-star trip to Malta for two people courtesy of visitMalta.com, the official sponsor Sheffield United Football Club, which along with Forsyth Business Centres and Scarborough Group International, is owned by Kevin McCabe.

Situated in the pedestrian approach to Euston Station, Forsyth@Euston occupies two floors totalling 27,000 sq ft. The Company signed a new 10 year lease on the property last October and has fully let the second floor with the third floor already part occupied.

Oporto, one of Australia’s largest and most successful food franchises; Scout7, Technology Solutions Provider to over 120 Professional Football Clubs worldwide, and National Gas & Electrical Safety Specialist, CLM; are among the centre’s latest tenants.

Simon Argall, the new Managing Director of Forsyth Business Centres, welcomed guests including Alex Incorvaja, Director of the Malta Tourism Authority. He said: “I am pleased that so many people were able to help us celebrate the official launch of the new third floor.

“We are particularly proud of the facilities here, having provided significant investment to create state-of-the-art offices and meeting rooms. I believe this investment further demonstrates the Company’s commitment to London and our confidence in the Property market.”

Established in 1991, Forsyth has 23 centres nationwide, with another two in China. The Company prides itself on providing quality office space, excellent customer service and flexible terms to support a wide range of businesses from start-ups and small and medium sized enterprises to major corporate occupiers.

The team were hoping to do the jump last October but, due to bad weather, the event was sadly cancelled. However there is no backing down for this brave bunch and now the event has been rescheduled for Sunday 14 March. The event location has also changed to Lewknor Airfield in Oxfordshire.

The skydive is in aid of CHASE, a Children’s Hospice that provides care and support to over 300 families who all have one thing in common – a child who will not live to reach adulthood because of their medical condition.

Last year Andrew Garrod, one of the ten Orega staff that will be jumping on Sunday, told us: “The CHASE hospice is a fantastic charity to support that is very close to our organisation’s heart. We will truly appreciate all donations, no matter how large or small.”

Please support the Orega team and donate to this worthwhile event at http://www.justgiving.com/oregacharityskydive

Best of luck to the Orega Skydivers from all at Easy Offices!

Heading the trio is serviced office provider Business Environment which moved up 12 places on last year’s results to rank as the 23rd best small company to work for. It also received a three-star ‘outstanding’ accreditation which only 50 companies in the country have been awarded.

Simon Rusk, finance director of Business Environment, comments: “In any service industry, how you look after your staff then flows into the service that you provide to clients. The receptionist who is happy and empowered will want to do her best for that client when they walk through the door in the morning.”

He says that direct link between staff wellbeing and client service is crucially important, a correlation that is reflected in Business Environment also being voted the best business centre of the year by the Business Centre Association for three out of the last four years, including 2009.

In the Sunday Times league table, Business Environment came 8th overall in the staff wellbeing category. Simon says this is particularly notable given that they are competing against charities where employees have to be incredibly motivated to do their job. “It’s a real testament to how, as a team, we pull together and support each other,” he remarks.

A high score for personal growth helped serviced office provider Avanta to take 74th place in the Sunday Times league table. “Ensuring staff are happy, motivated and provided with promotion opportunities to achieve their career development ambitions is key to the ongoing success of any business,” comments Jill Jackson, Avanta’s director of HR and training.

“As a client-focused business, it is essential that the quality of customer care matches the high quality of the serviced office infrastructure that we provide, which is why we’ve developed our own training sponsorship scheme to enable centre staff to perform to the best of their ability, whilst enhancing their career prospects.”

Jennifer Brooke, executive director of the Business Centre Association, says: “Having three BCA members in the top 100 Best Small Companies to Work For table clearly demonstrates that the professionalism and high standards of customer care that these companies convey externally are mirrored in their approach to their own staff, while also providing an enjoyable working environment.”

This year’s Sunday Times Best Companies to Work For list – its 10th to date – was derived from entries by 964 companies across the UK. In total, the organisers surveyed the opinions of over 230,000 employees.

BBC South’s Sally Taylor was on hand as celebrity guest to cut the symbolic red ribbon at the opening of the new business suites at Langstone Technology Park, Havant.

The fully-furnished business suites, from one workstation upwards, are offered on flexible terms and available for immediate occupation.

Gary Medlow, Managing Director of Fasset, which manages the 43-acre park, said: “The business suites ideally suit smaller occupiers who want to be part of a vibrant, exciting environment with access to centralised facilities such as the restaurant, Starbucks, grab-and-go shop, hired meeting rooms and a gym.

“As I mentioned to regional property agents last October when they came on a fact-finding tour of the park, there is definitely a growing market demand for smaller accommodation by companies wanting flexible and competitively-priced accommodation, IT support, high-speed internet connectivity, parking, decent office space and excellent road, rail and public transport links.”

He added: “The business suites have been an amazing success so far, the first phase is now fully occupied and we have subsequently invested in phase 2, a further 4,625 sq ft (429 sq m) which we expect to be filled in a short space of time.

“Occupiers like the fact they can portray a professional business image with our best-in-class location and self-delivered services, from reception and cleaning to IT support and security, ensuring all-round excellence. There is also the scope for occupiers to grow into follow-up space on site, or remain the original size.”

Ms Taylor, who is an MBE for services to regional broadcasting, praised the “lovely feel” of the business suites and complimented the park for its vibrant sense of community.

She also said how refreshing it was to see facilities geared to home workers who require a professional office away from home, to further improve productivity and reduce any sense of isolation. She was also impressed with the restaurant and highlighted the benefits of networking with fellow professionals based on site.

More than 25 guests from the business community in and around Portsmouth attended the launch, including Havant’s mayor, Councillor Jackie Branson.

Langstone Technology Park is operated by regional technology parks specialist Fasset, which invested £18m in upgrades and has space availability of between 100 sq ft (30 sq m) and 50,000 sq ft (15,240 sq m) for offices, call centres, warehousing, loading and data storage.

Companies at the park include electronics giant Hitachi, organic tomatoes grower Wight Salads, telecoms specialist AT&T, and national mapping agency Ordnance Survey. Suites include a workstation, desk, chair, pedestal, storage cupboard, telephone handset with DDI number and voicemail and CAT 5e cabling for voice/data connectivity.

This year marks the completion of the 10th Sunday Times Best Companies to Work For lists, which have been derived from entries by 964 companies across the UK. In total, the organisers surveyed over 230,000 employee opinions and carried out an evaluation of each organisation’s key statistics, processes and policies.

Commenting on Avanta’s award, Jonathan Austin, founder and CEO of Best Companies Ltd, said “I am delighted that Avanta has achieved a place on this year’s list. All organisations on the list should be truly proud that your employees and colleagues recognise you as a Best Company to Work For.

“This year’s survey also underlines the important role managers have in keeping their team productive and motivated. For the first time in the ten years of our research, employees have cited their own manager as a more important factor in their engagement than the leader and senior management.

“Ensuring staff are happy, motivated and are provided with promotion opportunities to achieve their career development ambitions is the key to the ongoing success of any business,” comments Jill Jackson, Avanta’s director of HR & training. So to receive this award is just reward for the way we strive to engage our workforce by ensuring they are involved in all aspects our business.

“As a client-focussed business it is essential that the quality of customer care matches the high quality of the serviced office infrastructure that we provide, which is why we’ve developed our own training sponsorship scheme for all centre staff to enable them to perform to the best of their ability, whilst enhancing their career prospects. In addition Avanta also provides childcare and birthday vouchers and we even operate a cycle scheme.”
