Marlow is the fourth flexible workspace that Orega has launched in the Thames Valley. The flex space provider also offers flex space from offices in Uxbridge, Slough and Stockley Park. Altogether it operates from 22 locations across the UK and is the UK’s leading provider of flexible workspace under Management Agreements (as opposed to leases).
Ben Hutchen, Real Estate Director at Orega, commented: “The demand for flexible office space has spread out of the capital into the Thames Valley and beyond. Operating flex space in Marlow will enhance our spread of offices across the region and will increase our presence in this prosperous and growing local economy.”
“We believe our space will be particularly attractive to corporates who want the flexibility of not being tied into long leases as they negotiate these uncertain economic times.”
He added, “As a business we are finding that the market has turned. We are now increasingly approached by landlords who want to engage with us to create an income from their under-utilized space and to mitigate voids, whilst retaining control of their asset and brand. “
“This is what our bespoke partnership model is all about.”
