Team Flux
Decades of combined experience in the industry.
Our story – where it all began
Brought together by a shared vision and a single aim to disrupt the commercial real estate market, James and Matt, the Co-founders of Flux HQ, took the plunge in 2020 to build a market leading office agency. Having both worked together previously they felt it was the right time to combine their 20+ years of experience and go on their own journey to really shake up what was quite an archaic industry.
They set about agreeing on what feels like the most important thing to when setting up a business...the name of the company. After a lot of interim names and a couple of close calls, they landed on Flux HQ. Flux is named after the situation in which many of their clients are in. Due to the rapid growth and scaling environments that companies face, a business's headcount may well be in a state of flux.
Fast forward to the present day and they have not only built a business supported by a team of incredible individuals, they have helped hundreds of inspirational brands find their new homes across the globe.

What is your role at Flux?
As one of the two co-founders, I oversee the day-to-day running of the business, managing the team and looking at processes to make sure we are giving our clients the best service possible. I have a pool of lovely loyal clients with that I work with globally, and year-on-year. I deal mainly with larger clients of 100+ people, on managed and conventional lease deals.
Best part about your role?
I get to work with a great team every day, and see the energy and passion they bring to the office.
What do you like most about working in this industry?
I have always loved real estate. Having the ability to be out and about in the amazing city of London, meet really interesting clients, and see some interesting architecture as part of my job, is an absolute dream.
Personal
What's the most bizarre food you have ever tried?
Deep fried Guinea Pig in Peru when I was 21. I am now a quasi-vegetarian!
What's your 1 non-negotiable for your everyday?
Cold water therapy first thing in the morning, be it a plunge or just an icy shower, it wakes me up and invigorates me for the day ahead.
If you could be a champion in any sport, what sport would it be and why?
Tennis, without a doubt. I always wanted to be a tennis player growing up, the travel and lifestyle would be amazing.
“I have worked with Flux on three separate office searches and their standard of service and outcome delivered has been outstanding every time. They know the market extremely well, where necessary are able to offer constructive feedback and challenge to me as the client, and negotiate well to ensure the best deal. I would recommend Flux without a moments hesitation.”

What's your 1 non-negotiable for your everyday?
Spending quality time with my two dogs Otis & Kobi, whether it’s a morning walk or a late night zoomie.
Favourite travel destination and why?
Ibiza – it is where I got married and it’s where I can wear my sarong with no judgement.
If you could be a champion in any sport, what sport would it be and why?
Golfer - not many social sports welcome walking around in the sun with a cold beer whilst playing.
“I’ve worked with Matt and James since 2018 – so for over 5 years now - on our office moves and I feel confident we’ll continue to use Flux for years to come: if these guys can’t find something, it just doesn’t exist.
Flux have been by our side supporting us with our office relocations ever since we were a tiny 35-person operation all the way to our most recent move, which involved accommodating several hundred people. And we have not made it easy for them either: our brief has changed repeatedly, while maintaining some very specific requirements. Flux were extremely patient as we took our time in refining the brief and helped advise us on the appropriate size of space required. They thought outside of the box and quite literally pulled a rabbit out of a hat for us.
I am very pleased to say, Flux most certainly did not disappoint and have provided the same consistently high-quality comprehensive service we have grown accustomed to from them over the years. In fact, this latest move to our new HQ just off Chancery Lane is proving to be our best relocation yet, on top of all other benefits having meant a commute time improvement for a vast majority of our employees – not an easy thing to achieve for such a varied group.
To anyone looking for space big or small, Flux are the guys to use, without a doubt.”

“Laura and the team at Flux were brilliant from start to finish, which resulted in us finding our perfect office space. Laura understood what we were looking for and only showed us properties that met our criteria, cutting down time spent doing unnecessary viewings. The whole team was on hand to help when questions arose and were available out of hours while we secured the lease. Thank you for making this process so quick and easy.”

What do you enjoy doing after work/on the weekend?
I am a lover of all sports, so I spend my weekends either watching or playing sports. A perfect weekend would include a massive Arsenal win, a good round of golf and maybe a bit of fishing and a braai, can’t forget about that!
What are your top 3 items on your bucket list?
Watch an Arsenal game live, travel to 6/7 continents, catch a game fish off a surfski
What's the most bizarre food you have ever tried?
I've eaten warthog which has a pretty weird taste - it's supposed to taste like pork but it definitely does not. Would not recommend it.
“James got in touch towards the end of our current lease to offer his services. After providing an overview of the office space in the local area, we narrowed it down to two offices to view, with Craig taking over the lead. One really caught our eye, but we couldn’t make it work commercially. Craig asked for one more day to see what he could do to make this work for us. Somehow with his powers of influence, persuasion and creativity, he managed to present a very competitive revised offer and the rest is now history! Flux will definitely be the first point of contact for any future office space requirements – and it is a zero cost service, which is a no-brainer for a cost conscious FD!”
