Below are guides to flexible office and workspace companies and brands operating in various towns and cities throughout the UK.
Office providers and workspace providers are the operators and facility managers of business centres or flex space centres that provide flexible workspace options.
Many office space landlords that traditionally provide leased office space to rent now provide non-leased workspace options, so, in these cases, they are also classed as office providers.
This UK flex space brand index was first published in April 2020 and has evolved with the dynamic flex space market through continuous research.

Flexible workspace or flex space is an umbrella term that covers serviced offices, managed office space options, flexible corporate office space solutions, coworking spaces and other forms of flexible office space.
The commonality between various flexible workspace options is the all-inclusive nature in that commercial property overheads such as utilities, broadband, furnishings, receptionist services, cleaning and other items are included in the monthly licence fee.
This makes these options ready-to-go, plug-and-play offices, which makes them highly efficient and convenient.
The licences for flexible offices and workspaces are held on our flexible contracts, which are easy-in and easy-out and allow businesses to rapidly resize their workspace footprint in the short term in line with their business needs.
We are an aggregator of office space, providing access to all office and workspace options in all UK markets. We listen to your requirements and filter and condense the market so that you only receive details of options that perfectly match your brief.

The flexible workspace market has been growing consistently year-on-year for the last decade to meet the demand from companies of all sizes that have been seeking flexibility in their commercial property strategies. This growth has meant that there is an increasing number of options to suit companies of all sizes, from startup companies to SMEs to large corporations.
Flexible workspace, or flex space, can suit all budgets. Businesses seeking cheaper office space or those seeking luxury and high-end flexible office space options can now find the perfect flexible solution. Shopping around for flexible workspace allows firms to see the vast range of options that are becoming increasingly available.
The size of the flex space market is growing in many locations in the UK – incumbent office providers are constantly adapting and creating new innovative flexible space products ranging from day office rentals to office timeshares to full building managed workspace solutions, brand new providers are entering the market, office landlords that would typically only provide office spaces for rent on conventional terms are increasingly offering non-leased options, and there is a growing range of ‘second hand’ sub-leased flexible office space options.
There is a growing range of options and the market can be quite nuanced in areas, this is becoming increasingly so as the number of crossover points between conventional leased or rented office space and flexible workplace options increases – there is an increasing blurring of the lines between conventional and flexible space in some cases.
As well as the increasing number of options, it can sometimes be challenging to clarify the differences in entry and exit procedures, deposit requirements, what exactly is included in flexible office rents, whether a flexible office occupier has security of tenure, whether there are dilapidation costs at the end of a serviced office tenancy agreement and other elements.
This is where we come in – we have access to the whole market. However, once you have advised us of your requirements, we filter and condense the market and only present you with options that perfectly match your bespoke requirements.
This way, you have the assurance that you have comprehensively searched the whole flexible workspace market but have had the convenience of viewing a condensed and precise version.
So, let us do the hard work for you and help you find the perfect workspace for your business!
