On touring the facility at Invaders Bay, the Minister of Trade & Industry, Senator Paula Gopee-Scoon stated, “the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago is delighted that Regus has decided to bring its brand of flexible work spaces to Trinidad and Tobago. This new Regus Centre will be a great addition to the business landscape of Port of Spain and it levels the playing field for smaller businesses who can now share these work spaces with larger global businesses. I wish Regus continued success as it takes its brand not only across Trinidad and Tobago but across the region.”

Chairman of Williams Offices Ralph ‘Bizzy’ Williams was quoted as saying, “we are very pleased to be able to bring the world class Regus products and services to Trinidad & Tobago. Our partnership with Regus allows us to not only diversify our portfolio and grow our footprint in the region but it also allows us to support businesses as they look for better ways to work.

It’s going to be very exciting to see the diverse mix of businesses that will occupy this space over the coming weeks and months. It is an ideal solution for the Oil and Gas companies based in the south who need a presence in POS, equally it’s an ideal solution for start-ups and small businesses where you pay one invoice a month for a fully equipped serviced office right here in this iconic building at Invader’s Bay.”

Mark Linehan, Managing Director, of the Regus franchise in the territory added that “flexible working spaces are rapidly gaining popularity around the world and we are very excited to be bringing our cutting edge work space solutions to Trinidad & Tobago.

We will look after the rest.”

The world of flexible work

Flexible workspaces are rapidly gaining popularity around the world as more firms are looking to opt out of expensive fixed-term lease accommodation, while workers increasingly demand flexible working facilities.

The phenomenon is being driven by technology that is stripping away the restrictions of time and space, a growing network of offices, Wi-Fi hotspots, and working hubs, and also by an acceptance by businesses and workers alike of a new way of working.

Companies are looking for better value from their workspaces and higher productivity from those working in them – all framed within ever shorter business cycles that mean companies have to adapt fast to new circumstances.

For their part, employees are looking to work better, faster and more conveniently, to boost their productivity.
