Thinking about moving your team to a new office? This is your sign.<\/b><\/h4>\n

Team Work.Life are on the move\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

As a business that deals in desks and chairs, we\u2019d say we\u2019re pretty much the office experts. But you know what they say – those who give the best advice rarely take it themselves. Well, for once, we actually did.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our support team – think Marketing, Finance, People, Digital, Sales – has been working from the wonderful Work.Life Soho<\/a> for the best part of a year. But with the opening of our biggest space yet in Farringdon, St Cross Street<\/a>, we started to feel that familiar itch for a change.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, before we get into it, let\u2019s be clear: there\u2019s no such thing as the <\/span>perfect<\/span><\/i> time to move offices. It\u2019s not always about growth, timing, or even upgrading to something shinier. Sometimes, it\u2019s about how your workspace supports your team\u2019s goals, energy, and productivity. And for us, St Cross Street was the right move to align with where we are and where we’re heading.<\/span><\/p>\n

Firstly, let\u2019s talk Soho\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n

Work.Life Soho is full of creative, fast-moving agencies that have inspired us for a long time. It\u2019s one of the reasons we moved there in the first place. The space is bright, the community is top-tier, and the location is convenient for pretty much everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

So why leave? It wasn\u2019t about outgrowing Soho or falling out of love with the space. It was about making a strategic shift that better suits our team\u2019s evolving needs. And right now, that meant making a move. And believe us, we\u2019re going to miss being in the heart of one of the best cities in the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Why St Cross Street?<\/b><\/p>\n

The simple answer? It\u2019s the right fit for where we are now.<\/span><\/p>\n

The longer answer? We\u2019re evolving in more ways than one. Yes, we\u2019re hiring, but we\u2019re also expanding what we do. We\u2019ve launched our sparkly new events product, and our spaces are filling up – especially Phoenix, our 100-capacity events space at St Cross Street. We\u2019ve already hosted huge book clubs, panel events, and networking evenings, and we wanted to be in the middle of it all.<\/span><\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s the extras. Our new home comes with a podcast and screening room – an absolute game-changer for our content team. Whether it\u2019s recording new content, hosting webinars (watch this space), or screening brand videos, having this facility <\/span>right downstairs<\/span><\/i> makes all the difference.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve also carefully designed our space to be a reflection of everything we stand for – collaboration, flexibility, and a community-first mindset. From spacious breakout areas to quiet focus zones, we\u2019ve created a workspace that adapts to how our team works best. Because let\u2019s face it, where you work has a massive impact on how you work.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What we\u2019ve learned from moving offices<\/b><\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t our first office move, and it likely won\u2019t be our last. Each move has taught us something different about what really matters when choosing a workspace. Here are a few takeaways:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Location matters – but not in the way you think.<\/b> It\u2019s not just about transport links; it\u2019s about being in a place that energizes your team. St Cross Street puts us at the heart of a vibrant business community, with endless opportunities to connect, collaborate, and (importantly) grab great coffee.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Your space should grow with you.<\/b> A workspace should never feel like a constraint. Whether it\u2019s adding new desks, creating a new meeting space, or having access to event areas, flexibility is key.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Culture should lead the way. <\/b>An office isn\u2019t just a place to work – it\u2019s a place that shapes your company culture. We wanted a space that fosters creativity, connection, and (most importantly) happiness at work.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Is it time for you to move offices?<\/b><\/p>\n

    Maybe. Maybe not. But here\u2019s the thing\u2014there\u2019s no <\/span>right<\/span><\/i> time, only the <\/span>right<\/span><\/i> reasons. If your workspace no longer supports your team\u2019s ambitions, culture, or daily rhythm, it\u2019s worth asking: what would a better space unlock for us?<\/span><\/p>\n

    For us, the answer was clear. And we\u2019re pretty excited about what comes next.<\/span><\/p>\n
