SOS at CoreNet Global Summit in Atlanta, GA

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SOS proudly attended the CoreNet Global Summit in Atlanta, GA. It was a real success especially at the SOS stand where many corporate executives had the chance to find out more about our national and global office solutions.

The opening gala at the Georgia Aquarium and the adjacent new World of Coca-Cola was an enthusiastic welcome to new members and a great way to kick off the event.

The SOS members that attended the event were Richard Smith (Managing Director), Jonathan Weinbrenn (Corporate Director), Emily Mouquot (Marketing Director) and Blair Whiteford (Director of Sales, New York).

Jonathan Weinbrenn comments: “For the fifth year running, SOS Corporate Services exhibited at CoreNet Global. Once again, corporate end-users engaged SOS in finding solutions for flexible office space. More than 2000 corporate real estate executives attended the event. It was a great success as well as a good catch up with old friends and colleagues.”

At the end of the Summit there was the San Diego Kick Off Party - a lively look at the next Summit in beautiful, sunny San Diego which enabled everyone a last chance to reconnect and dance the night away.

New SOS office in Hanover Square, London

SOS has recently opened a new office in Hanover Square, in the heart of Mayfair.

The UK consultancy Team, headed up by Jonathan Weinbrenn, has now expanded and moved into the West End seeking to develop closer partnerships with our business centre clients, end users and the central London office agency community. SOS has decided to add an additional office, to the seven already opened around the world so far.

SOS is now the only global serviced office agency based in W1, the heart of Central London. Consultants will have the opportunity to facilitate more London viewings from the new office, being in closer contact with clients and Business Centres. Having our finger on the pulse of the office space market in Central London has created an increased buzz and vibe in the office and SOS looks forward to building a closer relationship with all the London Business Centre managers. This can only serve to allow a greater level of service to our clients looking for serviced offices in London and throughout the UK.

Another advantage will be that our consultants will increase their geographical knowledge of London as well as obtaining expert and first hand experience of the various business centres, thus enabling them to pass on their impartial advice and opinions to our clients seeking space. Now that’s what we call “Added Value”.

Rate hike kills Evans’ regional pair

Serviced office provider abandons schemes in Speke and Cannock

One of the UK’s biggest providers of serviced office space has torn up plans for two speculative developments, blaming the decision on the government’s policy to scrap empty rate relief.

Evans Easyspace, the joint venture between the Evans Family Trust and the £100m Kodak Pension Plan, has abandoned plans for a serviced office scheme in Speke, Merseyside, and an office and workshop scheme in Cannock, Staffordshire.

The two schemes would have been added to Evans Easyspace’s £130m portfolio of 50 business centres across the UK.

Evans Easyspace managing director Tom Stokes said the removal of rate relief would cost the Leeds-based company around £500,000 next year and, based on that budget forecast, it had decided to pull out of the two schemes where it said 400 jobs would have been created.

Stokes said: ‘As a business, clearly we do not choose to have empty units, but it does happen in almost all our 50 Evans Business Centres in the UK. Once construction of a centre is completed, it can take up to two years to reach maximum occupancy resulting in two years of empty space. Why should we be penalised for offering space on the terms small businesses want and which allows them to grow and prosper?

‘For our 1,500 clients flexibility is essential. We always maintain a vacancy rate of around 10%, which the government now wants to charge us for.’

Stokes added: ‘Worst of all, the areas likely to be most affected by these changes will be those that most need the seeds of new business and entrepreneurialism our most deprived areas.’

Stokes said Evans Easyspace still planned to proceed with developments to which it was already committed. A further 300,000 sq ft is planned next year, enough for 350 businesses.

‘Were it not for the new legislation, that figure could have been significantly higher,’ said Stokes, adding that if the government did not backtrack on key points of the legislation, such as increasing exemption periods or raising the threshold for rates from £2,200 to £10,000, it would ‘slow’ the expansion plans of the company.
