The evening began with a drinks reception, sponsored by Opstech, before guests took their seats in the Ballroom.
Winners of the Flexible Space Association Awards were announced and awards presented, before guests enjoyed a three-course dinner. Music from The Chandeliers band followed, with guests rounding off the night on the dance floor. OfficeRnD was a headline sponsor of the event.
Jane Sartin, Executive Director of the Flexible Space Association, said of the event, “The FlexSA Gala Dinner is always a highlight for the industry, and 2025 was no exception, with people from dozens of different companies coming together to celebrate the year’s achievements. I was particularly pleased to see that a record number of companies entered our annual Awards, showing the breadth and depth of our industry innovation, talent and effort. Congratulations to all our finalists and, especially, our worthy winners.
“I was also happy that we were able to recognise the work of my retiring colleague, Adele Walker, with the Industry Achievement Award. She has previously been an ‘unsung hero’ of the industry, contributing to its success behind-the scenes for the past 20 years.”
