NEW St Albans Office Space!!!!!

Blog, Exeid, Exeid News, serviced office space
We acquired Redfern House having changed management on a building in February that had just undergone a refurb (by ourselves). The building was empty and in less than 2 months we have already secured nearly 80% capacity which is super exciting!!!

Benefits of this location include: Bespoke space personalised to your…

Is this the smallest office in Britain???

Blog, Exeid, Office space, serviced office space
Due to overwhelming demand for office space in Nottingham Leading serviced office provider Exeid have developed what is arguably the smallest office in the UK and possibly in Europe measuring in at just 42 sq ft! Who said bigger was better hey? Area Manager Duncan McKeown said: We have been 100% full in our traditional space and we are filling new sites within weeks. It has been difficult to accommodate the demand for 1 person offices which is coming primarily from people graduating out of coworking spaces like Accellerate or Antenna or the café working culture of Starbucks, Costa etc. Coworking is a great way for many small businesses to work but some people prefer a space away from home where they are able to carry out confidential work and…

Are you prepared for GDPR?

Blog, Business Advice, Commercial Property, Exeid, Exeid News
The first step to making sure that you are ready for GDPR is understanding what GDPR is - GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation and will come into effect in the UK from 25th May 2018.

This will bring a new challenge to UK businesses, as tougher data protection laws come into force, raising standards in data control and processing – and now is the time to prepare. Brexit will have no impact on the GDPR requirements. The UK Government has made it very clear that it will be implementing the new rules regardless. In brief, this new framework means customers or clients can challenge the accuracy…
