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

The city of Leicester in the East Midlands is already a popular office space location for a wide range of companies from a wide range of sectors.

Businesses that have their principal headquarter offices or satellite offices in Leicester include companies such as British Gas, British Telecom, Caterpillar, DHL, HSBC, KPMG, and Santander, to name just a few.

Its central UK location and excellent links with the M1 motorway, East Midlands airport and the fact that train journeys to the capital take just over one hour are just some of the reasons why Leicester is a popular office location.

The events of 2020 and 2021 led to what has been described as the largest homeworking experiment ever undertaken.

Once seen as some sort of perk of the job, working from home became a necessity during lockdown periods.

Thankfully, due to high-speed domestic broadband, cloud-based technologies and a sense of urgency, it worked for many companies and saved many businesses and jobs.

Businesses that rent office space in Leicester as in the rest of the East Midlands and, indeed, the rest world are now considering what their long-term workplace strategies should be.

There are of course many advantages to having the ability to utilise flexible working and have some of the workforce work from home.

It can lead to greater levels of trust, autonomy, better work-life balance for employees and increased well-being.

However, companies and employees, alike, need to manage it correctly. Homeworking doesn’t work for all, all of the time. Many employees found that WFH actually meant ‘Work For (longer) Hours’ as they felt the pull of the laptop around the clock. Others reported that they felt that they couldn’t take time off when they were genuinely sick, too.

Others just didn’t have the capacity to work from home because they lived in a house share, lived on a busy noisy street, didn’t have strong and stable broadband at home, or they had children and pets in the home.

Others found that they just didn’t have the space to create a home office. Many knew that for good mental health, they should create a separate space for work which lead to some even creating offices in their wardrobes and closets – also known as ‘Cloffices’.

There were mixed feelings about a remote workforce at the company level, too. Some businesses such as Twitter were all for it, whilst others such as Amazon and Netflix were hoping that employees return to the office as soon as possible.

Pre-Covid, no two company’s office space requirements were ever the same, even when companies were adopting the conventional 9 am to 5 pm in-office operations model. Post-pandemic, there is even more variety in workspace requirements.

Many businesses are now looking at a blended approach to the workplace. This operations model is sometimes referred to as ‘hybrid working’ whereby staff can work from home some of the time and work from the office at other times.

As a part of these models, many companies are looking for smaller satellite offices that can be classed as ‘workspaces near home’.

These are also known as ‘spokes’ when discussing the ‘hub and spoke’ office space model.

These offices work well for geographically segmented teams and mean that staff can commute easily to these places of work when they are needed in the office.

For these models, in many cases, businesses are looking for offices with great car parking or excellent transport links to reduce time spent on public transport.

As businesses experiment with these new working and workplace models, they are increasingly seeking agile or flexible offices on short term and flexible leases or licences.

Short term commitment offices in Leicester are particularly attractive to companies as they experiment with these new models and many of these spaces allow the business to expand or contract within the space in line with changing needs.

Many of these non-leased workspace options are also fully inclusive meaning that there is fully transparent pricing with no hidden costs and these make property and facilities management a lot more efficient for the occupier.

As the demand for these forms of flexible offices in Leicester increases so does the supply – from incumbent office providers that are increasing their range of products and brand new office space companies, too.

Also, many office landlords that would normally only provide office space to rent in Leicester are now offering non-leased and flexibly leased or short term tenancy office options.

With this growing range of options and the increasingly nuanced market, navigating it can be sometimes daunting.
