The Rise in Popularity of Serviced & Flexible Office Spaces in England

Blog, Office space, serviced office space, Uncategorised
In recent years, the office landscape in England has changed dramatically. More and more companies, from small startups to large enterprises, are choosing serviced and flexible office spaces. But what's behind this trend, and why are these office spaces becoming the top choice for so many businesses? One of the biggest reasons is flexibility. Traditional office leases often require long-term commitments and large upfront costs, which can be a burden for companies, especially those that are just starting out or experiencing rapid growth. Serviced offices, however, offer the freedom to easily scale up or down as needed. This flexibility is crucial for businesses that need to adapt quickly to changing market conditions without being tied down by rigid lease agreements. Convenience and cost-effectiveness are also major draws. Serviced office spaces…

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!!! Redfern House is one of very few office sites in St Albans due to the permitted development from B1 to C3 usage – office to residential development. (Read more about this here) Redfern House is just 0.9 miles out of the centre but benefits from free parking on-site and in the local area, we have even popped two courtesy bicycles on site for clients who want to nip into town on their lunch break and avoid traffic and parking.

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. The new GDPR is an EU law giving extra rights to individuals regarding their personal information and how it is stored and processed. 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…

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the closure of Friar Gate Bridge. We investigated this historic landmark next to our office space…

Derby, Exeid News, Friar Gate, Office space, Uncategorized, Vintage Offices
There has been a significant amount of press coverage regarding the Friar Gate Bridge recently. Reports have suggested that it's intended for renovations and restorations, other articles state it’s likely to be left alone. What’s the big deal about this bridge? Why is it special? At one time, Friar Gate Station was the main rail station within Derby, and it served the commuting public between 1978 to 1964. The Friar Gate Bridge, which is seen easily from the Exeid 32 Friar Gate offices, is now the only reminders of the former station. The double, cast-iron bridge was made for the Great Northern Railway by Andrew Handyside around 1876. If you were to catch a train Eastbound from the Friar Gate station, you would travel through Darley Park, Breadsall, West Hallam and onto Nottingham via the…
