IWG to open new flexible workspace as part of major expansion plans

A flexible workspace giant is to open a base in Altrincham later this month as part of its drive to launch 1,000 new locations in 2022.

IWG is to open its new Regus site at Two Four Nine, Lynnfield House, Church Street on May 23.

The company said that more than 80% of the space has already been let.

The new space has been developed as a partnership between IWG’s Regus brand and entrepreneurs Brian and Jordan Kennedy.

The four-storey building will provide space for established firms and start-ups, while the flexible floor plan will allow companies to design their own bespoke office spaces.

Mark Dixon, CEO and founder of IWG, said: “For several decades, we have been at the forefront of hybrid work, empowering people to work more productively and conveniently.

“More and more workers want to live in a 15 Minute City – where everything they need, including where they work, is within 15 minutes of their home. Locations like Two Four Nine, Lynnfield House are a response to that demand.

“Introducing workspaces into commuter towns like Altrincham helps build self-sustaining communities, generates economic activity and creates better solutions which support hybrid working.”

Jordan Kennedy, director of Patrick Properties, added: “We are delighted to be bringing a first-class product offering in Regus to 249 Altrincham, offering the ultimate flexibility to people and organisations that need it. We believe 249 is an unrivalled product with a state-of-the-art fitness centre and changing facilities.

“The attention to detail internally has been further boosted by the involvement of well renowned Cheshire designer, Uber Interiors.

“With a space being let already off-plan, this is testament to the team of designers, contractors and brand that we are building at 249.”
