We set out initially to acquire a circa 20,000 sq ft HQ for our rapidly growing company. We met with a number of brokers who either weren’t knowledgeable or personable; Flux was both. Having done their due diligence and research, Flux was quick to supply us with relevant options and kickstart the process of viewings, in order to support our timeframes.

Having landed on our dream space, Flux utilised their relationships to negotiate the best possible deal for us and resulted in securing our new home. Matt and James were great to deal with and we would highly recommend them/Flux to anyone who is looking for knowledgeable, friendly and professional support in their office search.

The Solution
Originally being in a serviced office space, our client was looking to upgrade their office, staying as close to their current location whilst looking to improve their security to ensure they could protect their data.
They had received significant funding to support their growth plans so finding their next office that enabled the space for this was our priority. Finding a managed solution was at the forefront of this search, whilst also finding a space that they could design themselves and make it their own. After finalising the brief with the client, we helped them navigate the market and presented various options to show them what was possible based on their requirements and their budget.
Landing on a managed space in Soho with a big fit out that took over 6 months to complete, our client had the opportunity to create their ideal set up. The space comprised of a secure room where all 4 walls were internal, several meeting rooms, phone booths, breakout space and an outdoor roof terrace to increase collaboration, productivity and teamwork.
