Why it Pays to Compare the Whole Exeter Flexible Office Space Market?

The Devon city of Exeter may be well known for the University of Exeter and for being the location of the headquarters of the Met Office but it is also a popular tourist location due to its rich history and ancient Roman architecture, as well as other attractive features.

Exeter is a thriving city and, pre-covid, saw over 30,000 people commute into the city on a daily basis – either via the A38 or the M5 motorway or from neighbouring towns and villages.

And, confidence is high that these levels will return post-pandemic and this can be highlighted with well-regarded establishments such as The Ivy launching in Exeter in June 2021.

Hospitality businesses such as The Ivy, as well as hotels and pubs, suffered during the lockdown periods of 2020 and 2021 and there was optimism that the British public will rush back to these establishments as soon it is safe to do so, with gusto, with a sense of ‘making up for lost time’ and because of a welcome buildup of disposable income.

Businesses that rent office space in Exeter also faced similar issues – many businesses that were tied into office leases had to continue paying rent for space that could not be utilised during lockdown periods.

And, this really added pressure if the business was involved in a sector that was also seeing a slowdown in business levels.

Thankfully, due to high-speed domestic broadband, cloud-based technologies and video conferencing technologies such as Zoom and Hopin, many businesses were able to continue with many of their operations and manage to, at least, survive.

As the South West of England continues to emerge from the pandemic, many businesses are evaluating how they will move forward in the longer term with regards to their commercial real estate strategies.

Whilst homeworking has been used by businesses for many decades, many had chosen not to graft it onto their operations models.

Many, of course, had already embraced homeworking particular in sectors that involved field visits such as engineering and healthcare, although, even in these sectors, businesses often preferred their staff to physically ‘check-in’ regularly.

The forced homeworking experiment, though, has encouraged many businesses to revisit their use of remote working teams.

It is reported that most companies are not looking to move to a 100% work-from-home workforce and many are not looking to an immediate 100% return to the office and use their space in the same way that they did pre-pandemic – the majority appear to be looking to find a happy and efficient medium between the two.

Many businesses in and around Exeter are investigating the use of blended or hybrid working models that utilise a combination of workplaces – the home for tasks that can be performed safely and efficiently from home and the office for collaborative exercises and other tasks that need to be performed in an office environment.

There is no generalised agreement as to how offices will be used long term and an article in Property Week in June 2021 revealed that fewer than half of business leaders are in favour of fully hybrid working

Although it also revealed that more than a quarter would look to change the way that they use their workspaces.

It is agreed that office space is of benefit for many reasons whether it be for meeting clients, training, onboarding, pitch and launch presentations, collaborative tasks, for social bonding amongst colleagues, for learning and sharing market knowledge, for mentorship and other functions such as showcasing a business to customers and clients.

What is clear is that the world of work is in flux – large organisations are in disagreement, too – both Apple and Google stated in 2021 that they will allow their staff members to come into the office for just 3 days per week, yet Apple stipulated what those 3 days should be.

Their reasoning was that, if the office is to be used for collaboration, then the relevant people need to be on the same days as their colleagues.

What is agreed amongst all businesses is that future proof workspace solutions need to be found that are agile, efficiently priced, and are safe for their staff, as well as being conducive to good mental health and well being for those staff.

Many companies that occupy office space for rent in Exeter are looking at ways to reduce their exposure and liabilities and are increasingly looking to the flexible office space industry for solutions.

The options that the flex space industry provides include offices on shorter term leases with the added benefit of having the property and facilities managed by the respective office providers.

The flexible occupational agreements allow the tenant to exit their contract with relative ease and are often termed ‘easy-in and easy-out offices’ for this reason.

These turnkey offices are available in a range of sizes and configurations ranging from small private serviced offices to larger managed office spaces and the licences will often allow the tenant to resize their space mid-term meaning that they can increase or decrease their office space footprint with relative ease.

This range of office space occupational arrangements are proving highly useful to companies as they experiment with new flexible working models.

As office-based companies in Exeter look for strategies for making their businesses future and recession-proof, these consistently involve ensuring their office spaces are both Covid-compliant and agile.

Flexible office space providers in Exeter as well as traditional office space landlords are creating more and more solutions that meet these needs.
