With an ever increasing focus on our environment, even serviced offices are now going green. This month we feature two centres, one built from scratch and one refurbished centre - the ultimate in recycling!
Innovate
Green Office in Leeds is one of the first commercial office buildings
to be designed and constructed with the environment in mind. As a result
of many innovations such as utilising recycled products in construction,
sourcing local sustainable products, low energy consumption and rainwater
recycling for amenities, this centre has achieved the highest BREEAM (Building
Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) rating of any
building in the UK.
Secondly, The
Office property on Gray's Inn Road in King's Cross is determined to
be one of the greenest eco-friendly offices in London. This building benefits
from a bio-diverse Green roof garden, made entirely from recycled aggregate
and materials. It is accessible for clients to use as a break-out area
with wireless internet and has London's only grey-to-green water recycling
system that uses plant filtration. The recycled water flushes the toilets
and along with rainwater harvesting, irrigates the roof garden.
In line with our desire to be eco-friendly, Instant Offices also recycle
all paper, plastics and cans; purchase fair-trade products, as well as
providing complimentary bicycles for the team to use instead of cars.

Expansion
leads to Instant Offices
relocation of its UK Headquarters
Instant Offices relocated its London Headquarters from Knightsbridge to
Paddington back in July this year due to the continued success in all areas
of the organisation which has led to expansion within the group. With good
transport links and views of the nearby canal, together with more office space
for all departments, the move to Paddington has created a more comfortable
working environment. relocation of its UK Headquarters
Following a redesign of the office, a new suite of meeting rooms are available to host client meetings and internal training sessions, as well as break out areas for lunch and relaxation.
The Head Office relocation follows the move to new offices in Sydney earlier this year and the forthcoming relocation of our US office from New York to Miami, due to continued expansion within these markets.
Instant Offices increases its involvement in charity work by undertaking three exciting projects that staff and associates will take part in.
Our first project is supporting Operation Christmas Child, enabling thousands of children in poverty across the world to have a Christmas present. The presents take the shape of a shoe box filled with toys, sweets, small items of clothing and toiletries which are then sent to children who are in need, in time for Christmas. For more details visit: www.samaritanspurse.uk.com.
We have also chosen to support the Friends of Chernobyl Children. This amazing charity allows children affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986 to experience a world that ordinarily they could not imagine. For more information visit: www.focc.org.uk.
