Case Studies & testimonials
Global bank uses serviced offices for new London location.
AUB are a global banking organisation with offices across Kazakhstan, Latvia and
Ukraine. They recently opened new offices in China and the UK and contacted Instant
to help them with their search for an office in London.
AUB were very specific about the type of office they moved into and what it represented
to their clients. Instant worked with them to make their checklist for the perfect
office, which included high end look and feel, and more space for the same budget.
We used this information and our unbiased expertise to make a cost comparison of
the buildings that matched AUB’s specifications.
Within the first month of speaking with Instant, AUB had visited their choice of
buildings for personal tours. Instant then worked with AUB to prepare a budget that
allowed a comfortable move into the space they wanted, without any added cost. Instant
was able to find AUB what they wanted, in their preferred building with a better
deal than their existing offer. Contracts were signed and they moved into their
new serviced office within three months of first talking to Instant.

Choosing the right office made painless for SE10.
SE10 are a PR and Marketing company with offices in the USA and UK. They contacted
Instant when they needed space for 6 people in Central London. It had to be contemporary,
open plan and ideally a long term lease.
Instant immediately discussed the benefits of serviced office space with client
and compared with leased space due to the small nature of their requirement.
After the first discussion with SE10, Instant knew that serviced offices would be
a great cost effective option for them. Serviced offices would fit a small number
of people and are a flexible option which allows for SE10’s growth plans. Instant
created a tour schedule in Clerkenwell as we knew that is where b2b PR agencies
are usually based in London. After the viewings we negotiated an excellent rate
for the client and a license term they were happy with.
Our market knowledge meant that we could give our client the best and most effective
office solution, one they hadn’t considered and better suited to their needs. We
saved them time, money and the administration behind choosing their next office.
A year later, and SE10 are still in those offices!
Our client says...
"Daniel Szweda from Instant was extremely helpful, not only in finding a good
selection of properties but also in impartially explaining and guiding me through
the pitfalls and advantages of Serviced offices vs. traditional tenancy agreements.
A painless exercise with a great outcome. Thank you very much for all your help!"
