What types of flexible workspace products does Department provide?

Department offers a portfolio of award-winning, expertly designed and people-centric flexible workspaces in a range of properties ranging from listed warehouses to modern office buildings.

All of its spaces champion sustainability and are designed to facilitate a healthy and rewarding work-life balance for all of its members.

The operator offers flexible business space solutions in Manchester and on Savile Row in Mayfair in the West End.

Department’s latest flexible space opening is in the Leeds Dock area.

Within the portfolio is a wide range of workplace solutions ranging from on-demand short-term workspaces to longer-term rentals on flexible terms.

Every Department office building offers hot desks, resident desks, premium office suites, private office floors, meeting room facilities as well as a members’ Clubhouse.

The Hot Desk coworking membership option allows members to work flexibly and collectively at a desk of their choosing.

This is the lowest-priced coworking membership and its features include the following:

The Resident Desk coworking membership option is popular with start-ups looking for a workspace that they can call their own. This offers a dedicated reserved desk as well as desk storage space.

This option offers the same features as a Hot Desk membership and also offers a registered business address.

The Private Studio option is popular with small teams seeking flexible space. This offers a studio with 4-10 desks as well as secure storage. The private studios can be as open or as private as the team wishes and the occupational arrangement offers all of the features of the above two packages.

Department’s Premium Suite membership option is popular with growing businesses requiring a private space with flexible configurations, secure storage and breakout areas all within.

The premium office suite option is available with simple billing and flexible terms which makes it ideal for scale-up businesses. The space can be branded and customised to the occupier’s bespoke wishes.

Department also offers an Enterprise Floor option which is a longer-term office space solution yet with flexible contract terms.

This option is chosen by established businesses that require all or part of a dedicated floor with a bespoke design to suit the occupier’s needs.

The flexible office fit-out can include meeting rooms, kitchens, breakout areas, office rooms and open-plan workspaces configured in a variety of ways.

This option is becoming increasingly popular with enterprises and corporations seeking large sqft flexible workspace solutions that can be branded.

Department’s properties also offer hireable highly-equipped meeting rooms and event spaces that offer the following features:

Department also offers a range of creative spaces for ‘creators, storytellers and visionaries’ and these include open-plan space to create, a content studio, production and broadcasting studios, workshop facilities and a podcasting studio.

No membership is required for these spaces and they can be hired by the hour, half-day or full-day.

Facts about Department 

Why choose Department’s flexible office space?

Department has a strong focus on work-life balance and wellness in the workplace. Part of this is their curation of a calendar of workshops, masterclasses and other events that it hosts at their spaces.

It hosts events chaired by highly respected guests such as those from the Exchange Enterprise City programme, hosting sessions focusing on topics ranging from personal branding tactics to timesaving hacks.

Department actually has strong links with the Exchange Enterprise City program which is a start-up program that provides access to knowledge partners, and investment support as well as start-up workspace in Department’s flexible space properties.

The workshops hosted by Department are not just business-focused, though, and they can be as eclectic as art masterclasses, too.

Department doesn’t just provide flexible workplace solutions for businesses – it loves to celebrate the successes and to promote the businesses of its members within its spaces. Its social feeds are full of shoutouts and congratulatory messages – that are seen by a global audience.

Department has its own fair share of awards and successes to be proud of, too – the property company was shortlisted for awards such as workspace with Best Fit Out, Best Newcomer Award and the Placemaking Award in Property Week’s 2021 shortlist, for instance.

As well as access to exclusive events, members also enjoy access to gyms with in-house training, fitness studios and classes, physio lounges, yoga and meditation sessions, and the Store which offers food and drink as well as scheduled arts, music and culinary experiences in the lounge area, and its coffee shop that serves hot drinks, breakfast, lunch and baked treats.

And last but by no means least, Department’s flexible spaces are pet-friendly meaning that it’s bring your dog to work day, every day!
