Wow! 10 years. It's been an incredible ride so far. From the days of Bryn, Barry and me crawling under desks to patch our first customer, to creating JEFF to do the hard work for us. Opening up in New York City to acquiring Hubcreate and the recent release of Occupie, the time has just flown by, and we couldn't have done that without you, our customers.

Without your unwavering support and belief, we couldn't have got to where we are today. This is what makes us challenge ourselves to be the best we can and to serve this industry in a way that ensures you are successful. 

We’re delighted to announce our sponsorship of the GCUCALL conference taking place this May 3rd to 5th in Los Angeles.

Another year, another successful BCA conference! BCA Executive Director Jennifer Brooke kicked off the annual flagship event with a rallying cry for flexible workplace leaders to proactively embrace technology and new business models. To sustain success, our thriving sector needs to rapidly respond to changing customer expectations and the coworking trend that are putting our industry on the cusp of a major transformation.

It was during my time as a Personal Trainer in a gym near the essensys London office that I got to know the firm’s CEO Mark Furness (and his great sense of humour). When Mark approached me one day, asking me to become a full-time Health & Wellbeing Consultant at essensys, I thought he was having a laugh! But as we started fleshing out his ideas on how a wellbeing programme could help transform the lives of his staff, I jumped at the challenge. 

 I am delighted to announce that we have completed the acquisition of Hubcreate, the market-leading workspace management software company formerly known as RJmetis.

Working behind the counter of a Thai takeaway in south London, Mark Furness had hit rock bottom.

The Liverpudlian had previously successfully managed a technology business in the north of England, but he says that after its parent group had reneged on giving him a share of the company he quit on the spot.

We are at the beginning of a very exciting time for connectivity. Not only are we more connected, but so too are our machines, environments and systems.

Enhanced sensors and software are at the heart of a new wave of technology that has the ability to reimagine our lives. Our working ones in particular stand to benefit with the rise of smart, efficient spaces and buildings.
