This month, leading office provider, Arena Business Centres has acquired office design and fit out company, Enenco. Now trading as Enenco Office Design
Following the launch of Arena Reading six month’s ago, the flexible workspace provider has created a thriving business community at the state of the art building in Winnersh Triangle.
With government restrictions ending more businesses and employees are looking forward to getting back into the office and returning to some type of normal.
Arena Reading is conveniently located in Winnersh Triangle and within a short walk of the train station, it becomes Arena’s 10th location across Berkshire, Surrey, Hampshire and Dorset.
Over the past year companies of every size have been re-evaluating how and where they work. The opportunity to take a step back and fresh look at their working environment has provided the ability to a shift towards a more flexible office solution
Over the past 6 months home working has caused many progressive companies to rethink their ways of working, forever. Whilst working from home has exposed many of the downfalls of traditional office space, it has also highlighted the need to gather teams safely together to collaborate, socialise and share their best ideas.
Start-ups and smaller businesses often look to serviced offices for their workplace solutions and this trend seems to be on the rise. There are a lot of benefits and facilities associated with serviced offices (also known as business centres or managed offices), which make them very appealing to businesses of all sizes.
The celebrations started at Lancaster Court, with Silent Pool Gin visiting the centre to offer residents the chance to sample some of their finest gins! Residents were also able to make progress with their Christmas shopping at the event with plenty of gift sets and merchandise available to purchase. The event was hugely popular amongst our clients at Lancaster Court, and Silent Pool hosted a further two tasting events at our Basingstoke and Farnborough centres – which were also very well received!
With the unpredictability of the current business climate (due in no small part to the unchartered waters of Brexit ahead), flexibility has understandably become a watchword for many organisations. The advantage of flexibility in these ever-changing times is clear: with agility comes the ability to change in response to external influences, which are now especially difficult to forecast.
The way we work is changing. For many years, traditional leased office space was the only real option for companies looking to establish or maintain a professional presence (other than purchasing a property outright, which would be prohibitively costly for most businesses).
I knew immediately when I looked around the available office space at Arena that I would fit in and that it was the right place for me to be located; only 2.6 miles from home with very nice serviced facilities giving my client’s a sense that my business is very professional.
What led you to search for office space? We had reached the point in our business where we needed a bigger office and nicer environment for our clients to visit.
An engaged, happy team is one of the most powerful assets that a business can possess. With numerous academic studies connecting workplace happiness with commercial success, a growing number of organisations are starting to cultivate happiness and contentment amongst their teams as a strategy to drive success.
