Regus

Regus, the worlds leading provider of outsourced serviced offices, opened its first centre in Cork in September 2008, Irelands second largest city. Present in the Emerald Isle since 1996 with already three centres in Dublin (Harcourt, Ballsbridge and Pembroke House centres), Regus will be giving new development opportunities to companies in this fast growing and attractive part of the country. Situated close to Cork city centre and Cork International Airport, the Regus City Gate centre will be offering a new strategic and professional address to companies of all sizes, no matter their activities or stage of development. Irelands economy remains buoyant, and Cork proves to be a popular choice in which to do business. In 2005, Ireland was named as the worlds best country to live in by the Economist Intelligence Unit, and according to the EIU Business Environment Rankings, Ireland will remain one of the most attractive business locations in the world throughout the period 2007-2011. With a challenging economic situation in Ireland, business centres, such as the Regus City Gate new centre in Cork, give more choice to local businesses that are looking for flexible accommodation but do not want to get tied into long office leases. This will be particularly useful to start-ups and budding entrepreneurs. Research by the Chartered Institute of Purchasing demonstrates that businesses can save 50% on office space when the total cost of occupancy is factored in, by opting for a flexible office provider. Cork City Gate Centre accomodation includes: 1 floor 1 700 sqm 172 workstations 4 meeting and training rooms This is particularly useful to small and medium Cork-based businesses, given the premium on office space in Cork, and high costs of office rental. It will encourage local entrepreneurs to take advantage of local prosperity, and allow their businesses to flourish. Michael Barth, Regional General Manager for Regus Germany, Scandinavia & Ireland, comments: We anticipate that this stunning centre will prove popular to local businesses not only because of its convenient location, but also because of its flexibility. All contract details are agreed up front, with customers only paying for additional services, such as meeting rooms and IT support as and when they use them. The success of our other three Dublin locations indicates that businesses in Ireland have wised up to the advantages of serviced offices. One great advantage of this centre is its bright and spacious meeting rooms, and its location right in the centre of Cork. With 172 workstations and four meeting rooms over 1700 square meters, this new location in Mahons dynamic area of Cork, close to UCC - one of the countrys most highly regarded Universities, is a flexible and affordable alternative to the traditional office. Regus City Gate is located in City Gate, 1201-1202 City Gate, Mahon, Cork.
