Great to see the Mereseyway Innovation Centre reaching 85% occupancy in just over a year! Its not unusual for flexible workspaces like this to reach a stable occupancy (c.85%) in two years or more so it's impressive to see the Innovation Centre bucking the trend! 👊 This should provide comfort to other local authorities that flex can flourish outside of city centres and I'd urge all local authorities to consider including flex within their town centre regeneration strategies. Such spaces are essential for the support of small businesses (which make up 99.9% of all UK businesses) and can play a crucial role in stimulating business growth, increasing town centre footfall and reviving old unloved buildings (often attracting grant funding for these very reasons). 💰 💰 Keep up the good work Oxford Innovation Space and Stockport Council! If you require any advice around your flexible workspace strategy, our team in Manchester are well placed to provide support.
