Regus to open latest franchise centre in Ipswich

Developed in partnership with Kash Group Office, the centre will offer 32,000 sq ft of flexible office space in the heart of the Suffolk town

Opening in April, the new centre is set to be housed in the newly regenerated Waterfront area of Ipswich and will consist of two floors of state-of-the-art, fully equipped offices.

Regus’ latest addition to its franchise portfolio follows the opening of its first two franchised centres at the end of last year in Huntingdon, a market town in Cambridgeshire, and Southgate, north London.

Julian Chambers, head of franchise at Regus, says: “After the success of our initial franchise openings in November last year, it’s clear the serviced office market is an attractive investment opportunity for businesses in 2020, as the market grows to meet demand.”

Kash Jaffar, managing director of Kash Group Office, says he’s excited to be moving into phase two of the development programme, which will see the business open its first Regus centre.

He adds: “The reason we selected Ipswich as a location for our first Regus centre is because we can see huge potential for growth in the flexible office market here.

“We will be providing high quality, flexible office space and office services for everyone from individuals and small and medium-sized companies to start-ups and corporate customers.

“We look forward to welcoming customers from April after we’ve completed our refurbishment programme, which will turn the building into the latest Regus design.”

First established in 1989, Regus has over 3,000 office locations around the world used by 2.5 million people.
