A prominent workspace provider in the UK is expanding its presence globally, catering to the preferences of young individuals for warmer climates and travel opportunities.
The investment firm Inc & Co is injecting €1.5 million (approximately £1.28 million) into incspaces, its brand specializing in flexible working environments.
These new locations will be established in strategic markets worldwide, spanning Europe, the US, the Middle East, and Asia.

The expansion initiative commences with Barcelona, a city chosen due to its significant expatriate population of more than 22,000 British residents, as per 2022 statistics.
This move reflects a growing demand for flexible workspaces, particularly from modern enterprises aiming to appeal to millennial and Gen Z employees.
With the trend of nomadic living gaining traction, especially among younger demographics seeking work-life balance, expanding beyond the UK is a logical step.
The Dublin branch, slated to open this quarter, has already secured 95% pre-let occupancy. Additionally, more locations are in the pipeline, including Dublin, USA, Bangkok, and Amsterdam.
Jack Mason, Group CEO of Inc & Co, emphasized the strategic significance of this expansion, stating,

“We’re investing €1.5M into our two new European buildings, which is the start of a strategic realignment for incspaces, positioning the company to capitalise on new opportunities and build a strong international presence. We are dedicated to supporting our clients’ growth and success through flexible, high-quality work environments wherever business takes them.”
This move signifies a strategic shift for incspaces, aimed at seizing new opportunities and establishing a robust international presence.
Mason reiterated the company’s commitment to facilitating clients’ growth and success by providing flexible, premium work environments wherever their business ventures take them.

The company is not just focused on expanding its office locations but is also reassessing the overall strategy for its flexible workspace brand. This includes a plan to “revitalize” its leadership team to “stimulate growth.” As part of this strategy shift, Incspaces has opted not to renew its leases for its London offices.
However, the brand is introducing a novel concept tailored for startups and entrepreneurs called Infinity Office. This space allows members to use facilities casually, receive mail services, attend meetings, and participate in events without the obligation of a long-term commitment to physical space.
The Infinity Office service debuted earlier this month and has already garnered interest, particularly from startups in Manchester.
