Hybrid working solutions provider International Workplace Group is opening a state-of-the-art flexible workspace in Banff.
Situated on Old Market Place 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 Aberdeenshire.
Banff is a popular commuter town for Aberdeen and by bringing a high-quality office space to Banff International Workplace Group is enabling local people to experience living in a ’15-minute’ city, allowing workers to work close to their homes without commuting far from where they live.
Set to open in September 2024, the new building will provide space for established firms and start-ups across a range of industries including energy, tourism and agriculture while International Workplace Group’s Design Your Own Office service allows companies to tailor their space entirely to their requirements. The new HQ 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, said: “We are establishing a stronger and much-needed footprint in Aberdeenshire with this latest opening. As an important business hub Banff is a fantastic place for us to boost our expansion plans. The need for high-quality flexible workspaces continues to soar as hybrid working becomes the new normal. We are very pleased to work with partners to develop the HQ brand under a management agreement that will add a cutting-edge workspace to their building.
“Our opening in Banff comes at a time when more and more companies are discovering that flexible working boosts employee happiness and satisfaction, while helping the environment. Our workplace model is also proven to increase productivity and allows for a business to scale up or down at significantly reduced costs.”
Andy Rome, director of Frui Vita Ltd, added: “This is an exciting partnership which will allow us to reach and accommodate a wide range of clients working across the Northeast coast, offering excellent workplace facilities. Teaming up with IWG brings the best of both worlds, delivering their International high-quality services within a locally-managed business centre.”
