The firm said it had seen a pronounced uptick in sales on the back of a boom in managed space, with figures from flex workspace booking platfrom Rubberdesk showing managed office supply more than doubled from 2024 to 2025.
MetSpace’s occupancy averaged 93% across more than 100 offices during the period, against a flex industry average of 80%, according to figures from flex office search portal Flexioffices.
Robert Schogger, co-founder and chief executive at MetSpace, said: “We’ve long seen the potential for managed offices, having introduced our first in the late 1990s, and we’re certainly seeing the demand reflected in our recent figures
“Our clients increasingly come from a range of sectors; for some, this marks their first managed office, while others have been embracing them for some time.
“Our experience has proved invaluable in navigating a growing and evolving market. Decades on, the key principles of a good managed office remain the same – efficient management for all parties, long-lasting, sustainable fit-outs, and taking a thoughtful approach with every interaction.”
MetSpace was founded in 2018 and has over a dozen London locations, while its founders Schogger and David Cluer were behind what they claim was the UK’s first ‘managed office’ in 1999.
Meanwhile, figures from Savills and flex office space search portal Workthere show a 23% rise in demand for managed offices from 2024 to 2025.
Their data shows there are now more than 750 buildings offering managed offices in the UK, up 66% from 2022, while 98% of the managed office market is in the capital.
