The world’s largest flexible workspace provider, International Workplace Group (IWG), is seeking to expand its footprint across Ireland to meet the growing demand for hybrid working and counties Louth, Meath are among the locations they have in their sights.
“Since the pandemic, firms of all sizes are embracing a hybrid model which retains the office or HQ but allows employees to spend a portion of the week working remotely” they say.
“More than ever, companies and employees are looking for flexible work solutions, especially closer to home – ideally within a 15-minute commute…Post Covid-19, these trends will only accelerate further – exemplified by the record enquiry numbers experienced by IWG.
So, IWG’s expansion in Ireland is timely and in line with Ireland’s National Remote Work Strategy prepared by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment to ensure that remote working is a permanent feature in the Irish workplace in a way that maximises economic, social and environmental benefits.
IWG has been operating in Ireland under the Regis and Spaces brands for more than 22 years with centres located in Dublin, Cork and Limerick, and the organisation recently opened SPACES Cork, new state of the art offices at 1 Horgans Quay, Cork.
The company is now keen to work with local franchise partners in Irish towns and cities in Louth, Meath, Galway, Sligo, Athlone, Kerry, Wicklow, Waterford, Wexford and Westport and open additional workspaces under the Regus and SPACES brands.
More than ever, companies and employees are looking for flexible work solutions, especially closer to home – ideally within a 15-minute commute. Trends reveal an accelerated and structural shift towards flexible workspace as an alternative to conventional leasing. Post Covid-19, these trends will only accelerate further – exemplified by the record enquiry numbers experienced by IWG.
