Workspace pioneer Spaces to launch Guildford site

An example of a typical Spaces workspace

Creative workspace provider Spaces has announced the opening of a new hub in Guildford. Occupying 1,533 sq m of Austen House, Spaces will provide a contemporary office building with brilliant access to transport links, as well as Guildford town centre.

Spaces is an Amsterdam-born workspace pioneer, creating productive working environments designed to allow the integration of lifestyle and work. With its unique entrepreneurial ethos and opportunity to co-work, Spaces actively encourages members to network with one another. With the modern day requirements of a varied workplace, the new Guildford site will offer private offices and meeting rooms as well as flexible co-working spaces. In order to ensure continued productivity, the new Spaces branch will also offer top quality business Wi-Fi and coffee and tea for free.

The Guildford location prospers from excellent transport links, being located opposite Guildford station and with easy access to both Heathrow and Gatwick airports, as well as the amenities that the local town has to offer.

This announcement is the latest in the successful expansion of Spaces UK. The workspace provider, which was founded in 2006, already has several locations across the UK including London, Brighton, Glasgow, and Liverpool, with more locations due to open before the end of 2017. Internationally, the company has a network of centres across Europe, Africa, the Americas and Asia.

Spaces UK CEO, Richard Morris, comments: “Spaces’ focus on community prioritises the provision of a social and productive working environment and, as such, combines the two to redefine the meaning of ‘work’.”

“A base for a variety of leading high-tech companies, Guildford is a thriving location for business and is particularly regarded as a centre for video game production. The inspirational dynamics of the new Spaces hub make it perfect for Guildford’s creative, technological background.”
