New workspace opens in Lisburn as demand for flexible and platform working continues to accelerate
International Workplace Group, the world's largest platform for work with brands including Spaces and Regus, is opening a state-of-the-art flexible workspace in Lisburn.
With the long-term shift to more flexible ways of working, IWG is expanding its network to keep pace with rising demand across Northern Ireland.
Situated at Linen Hill House in Lisburn, this new location is part of a drive by International Workplace Group to meet the sharply rising demand for top class flexible working space in the area.
The building provides space for established firms and start-ups across a range of industries including business and tech, while International Workplace Group’s Design Your Own Office service allows companies to tailor their space entirely to their requirements.
The new Regus workspace location will include facilities including private offices, meeting rooms, co-working and creative spaces.
The building owners decided to invest in the International Workplace Group platform to maximise the return on their real estate space by capitalising on the rapidly expanding demand for hybrid working.
Mark Dixon, CEO & Founder of International Workplace Group PLC, commented: “We are establishing a stronger and much-needed footprint in Northern Ireland with this latest opening.
“As an important business hub Lisburn is a fantastic place for us to boost our expansion plans.
"We are very pleased to work with partners to develop the Regus brand under a management agreement that will add a cutting-edge workspace to their building.
“Our opening in Lisburn comes at a time when more and more companies are discovering that flexible and platform working is incredibly popular with employees, improving their work-life balance and satisfaction, while also providing a multitude of benefits to companies.
"Our workplace model is proven to increase productivity and allows for a business to scale up or down at significantly reduced costs while providing access to thousands of locations.”
Gary Turkington, Operations Director at Turkington Group, commented: “As a long term property investor in the Lisburn area we recognised that our space within Linenhill House was an ideal opportunity to work with IWG on our first Regus Workplace and we are excited to launch the facility and we look forward to working with the IWG team on this and future projects.”
