LONDON-LISTED Regus Group, the leading provider of outsourced workplace solutions in the world, plans bigger footprint in the Philippines and will look into the need for office space of small and medium enterprises in the country to achieve this goal.
William Willems, Regus country manager, told The Manila Times the company’s target rate of 90-percent occupancy will be buoyed by the upbeat SME sector in the Philippines.
The Philippine market accounts for 15 percent of Regus’ total revenue sales in South East Asia, and the company intends to increase this by the end of the year.
“This kind of solution will help the starting businesses and small and medium enterprises in managing [their] respective expenses very well,” Willems said.
Regus Group rents office spaces in Enterprise Center and Philam Life Center both in Makati, and in Net Cube Center in Fort Bonifacio Global City.
Willems said the company offers a full range of office-related services, which covers the maintenance of fully-furnished office spaces, personalized reception operator, internet connection, electricity and usage of state-of-the art meeting rooms.
“We give [our] clients flexibility, since they need not sign a full-year or half-year contract with [us],” he added.
Regus Group rate starts at P9,700 a month that will accommodate six to seven desks, while for a 10-12 square meter office space, the company charges about P30,000. Both rates entitle customers to all the facilities. -- Katrina Mennen A. Valdez
