Instant\u2019s CEO Tim Rodber was recently interviewed by Completely Office for Completely [different] magazine.<\/p>\n

The article noted that \u201cInstant is changing the landscape of office procurement,\u201d through a pioneering approach to workspace solutions. From our roots as an innovator of online serviced office brokerage, Instant has evolved its offering over the past 15 years to meet the needs of a growing corporate client base and challenge the traditional office sector.<\/p>\n

Prior to Instant\u2019s entrance into the market, businesses had two options when it came to office space \u2013 source your own and take on a traditional lease, or sign up with a serviced office provider. According to Rodber, \u201cThere are 7,500 serviced offices in the world and it\u2019s a sector which is growing by 10% per year. Serviced offices provide a great platform for start-up businesses and also a way to move into new territories but it\u2019s not necessarily a platform that suits larger enterprises which want more control and transparency.\u201d This is where Instant\u2019s \u2018third way\u2019, the managed office solution, comes in.<\/p>\n

Instant\u2019s unique model means that companies can take control of their own space whilst still enjoying the turn-key benefits of serviced offices. Furthermore, businesses have the ability to tailor the space to meet their changing requirements over time with Instant\u2019s bespoke approach.<\/p>\n

Rodber has been focused on growing Instant\u2019s UK team, appointing outsourcing and procurement specialist Lyndsay Hardwick as the Managing Director for Client Services, and Matt Dawson as Director for Business Development earlier this year. Instant now employs over 110 people, and there has been a marked pick-up in activity in the last 12 months. \u201cPeople are seeing us as a credible, real alternative in the market and we have lots of people to thank for that,\u201d says Rodber.<\/p>\n

As for future plans? \u201cThe US is a real opportunity for us. We have a business here in the UK that\u2019s growing steadily year-on-year. We\u2019ve made investments and we\u2019ve got a good team. We now need to shape our position in the market and get our message out.\u201d<\/p>\n
