In a prison. In a storage cupboard. Next to a sewage pump.
These are among the top 10 strangest places people have had a business meeting, according to a survey of 4,000 people by workspace company Regus.
Other odd venues include an old railway tunnel, a maggot farm and a rowing boat on the Thames.
BACK OF AN AMBULANCE
At least one person reported having a business meeting on their bed, while another unfortunate individual was subjected to a meeting in the back of an ambulance.
One respondent, who spent a chilly hour and a half meeting with a business associate in a boarded-up building, explained: “It wasn’t very comfortable, but a decision had to be made quite urgently.
“I’m not sure whether it was down to the location, but some interesting ideas were knocked around in there.”
Nightclubs, beaches and saunas also feature more than once in the report, showing that business meetings aren’t always such hard work.
