Facts about UBC
Why choose UBC flexible office space?
UBC was founded in 2008 and has grown to offer a wide range of flexispace solutions out of seven locations across the UK which give businesses of all sizes – from freelancers to multinational organisations confidence that their office space needs will be professionally looked after.
And, businesses have come to know that when UBC flexible office space is chosen they can expect a warm welcome and a vibrant community to help their business thrive.
UBC doesn’t only take professional care of its customers, clients and occupiers, though, they take an active role in supporting the community outside of their flexible office space properties – actively raising money through regular fundraising events for charities including the Alzheimer’s Society and Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity.
Customers of UBC also appreciate the regular business professionals interaction events that are held at their properties such as their regular speed networking events that are held at their hUBClubs – which are incidentally where it offers its solutions to a flexible and cost-effective way to do co-working, and are available at their seven office properties.
The flexible office provider is proud to publicly share testimonials from their occupiers and tenants which include feedback such as,
“UBCUK worked with our head of real estate to search, acquire and deliver a truly tailored solution and at a significant cost saving. The UBCUK Complete solution is an all-inclusive managed office service.”
And,
“My experience of UBC co worker is a positive and productive one. I have been able to carry on with my work within the standard working hours as well as out of hours without any difficulties.”
With a strong emphasis on continuous improvement, UBC studies the feedback received to constantly improve their flexspace offerings and noticed a trend in requests for smaller offices to allow more privacy and social distancing and so reconfigured their larger flexible office suites into smaller 1-3 person offices.
This has proved to be a great workspace solution for startups and freelancers looking for smaller, more affordable premises, as well as employers who want to bring their remote hybrid working staff in on a ‘time share’ or ‘hot desking’ basis.
And this kind of customer service level doesn’t go unnoticed as UBC has been nominated as finalists in the Flexible Space Association Awards in the Customer Service Excellence and Workspace Operator of the Year categories, on various occasions.
