Notes to Editors
About Workspace Group
PLC:
Workspace is London's leading owner
and operator of flexible workspace, currently managing 4.4 million
sq. ft. of sustainable space at 74 locations in London and the
South East.
We are home to some 4,000 of
London's fastest growing and established brands from a diverse
range of sectors. Our purpose, to give businesses the freedom to
grow, is based on the belief that in the right space, teams can
achieve more. That in environments they tailor themselves, free
from constraint and compromise, teams are best able to collaborate,
build their culture and realise their potential.
We have a unique combination of a
highly effective and scalable operating platform, a portfolio of
distinctive properties, and an ownership model that allows us to
offer true flexibility. We provide customers with blank canvas
space to create a home for their business, alongside leases that
give them the freedom to easily scale up and down within our
well-connected, extensive portfolio.
We are inherently sustainable - we
invest across the capital, breathing new life into old buildings
and creating hubs of economic activity that help flatten London's
working map. We work closely with our local communities to ensure
we make a positive and lasting environmental and social impact,
creating value over the long term.
Workspace was established in 1987,
has been listed on the London Stock Exchange since 1993, is a FTSE
250 listed Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) and a member of the
European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA).
