Managed Offices
What is a managed office?
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor
A new way to think about office space
With hybrid models en vogue and ever-evolving team dynamics, the office is no longer just about desks — it's about culture, experience and flexibility.
In response, businesses across the UK are rethinking what the workplace should look like. Managed offices have emerged as one of the leading solutions, offering fully serviced, private, and customisable workspaces.
What exactly is a managed office?
A managed office is a private workspace delivered as a complete service. It combines the flexibility of a serviced office with the control and customisation of a traditional lease — all wrapped into a single monthly cost.
Unlike serviced offices, which are often shared, managed offices give companies their own branded space, built to their layout and operational preferences. They're typically measured in square footage, not just desks, allowing you to create the layout that works best for your team.
Key features of a managed office:
- Customisable design and fit-out
- Private, branded workspace
- Services included (e.g. cleaning, internet, kitchen, maintenance)
- Flexible lease terms
- One simple monthly invoice
Who are managed offices for?
Managed offices are an ideal fit for a wide range of business types, from scale-ups to project teams and corporate headquarters.
Typical occupiers include:
- Companies outgrowing coworking and seeking privacy
- Teams that want a flexible alternative to long leases
- Larger firms needing project space or satellite offices
- Businesses of all sizes looking to avoid the complexity of managing their own fit-out and facilities
Managed spaces typically range from 1,000 to 15,000 sq ft, making them suitable for teams of 10 to 150 or more.
Benefits of a fully managed office
Choosing a managed office offers a number of strategic and operational advantages:
Hassle-free setup
Design, build, furniture, internet and services are all included
Customisation
Tailor the space to your brand and ways of working
Cost clarity
One monthly fee with no separate service contracts
Flexibility
Scale up or down more easily than with conventional leases
Speed
Move in quickly, without the 6+ month fit-out timeline
As hybrid working continues to shape the future of work, managed offices allow you to curate an office with purpose, creating a space where people genuinely want to be.
How to find a managed office
Finding managed office space can be a challenge. Most private spaces are listed with traditional leases, meaning the occupier is responsible for the design, build, and ongoing management, often across a multi-year term.
