UK Office Space News

A virtual office provider in the North East has enjoyed a fruitful first few months as companies seek an affordable way to do business in the recession.

Office Matters, who are based in Belmont, Durham offer services such as call handling and mail handling, to companies that either cannot afford or choose not to reside in an physical office. Their clients can use office space, meeting rooms and conference rooms on ad ad-hoc basis. Despite the company only forming earlier this year, they already have 12 staff in place as well as a wide selection of clients.

Steve Akers, FD, said that part of the company’s current growth was down to the recession but that businesses would still want to use their services once the economy improves. He also said that because modern working practices were becoming increasingly flexible, the need for virtual working would increase in the future. “A virtual office set-up enables companies to buy the traditional services they need without the overheads of purchasing office space and employing receptionists.” he added.
