NB: What originally drew you to launching Love Mondays Office Space?

I fell into the industry back in 2013, and quickly developed a passion for the flexible office space industry. Love Mondays Office Space wasn't an accident, I believe that everyone should have a workspace where they actually want to work. When I was young, walking around London with my mum, I would ask ‘what's that building' and would always get the same response ‘offices' as if every office was the same. But they aren't, the right office space is inspiring and energising, a place where people come together and ideas become strategies. So in 2022 I decided to start Love Mondays Office Space with the goal of ensuring nobody ever says ‘urgh it's Monday' because of their office and instead find a space where they can Love Mondays Again.

NB: How long did it take from conception to placing the first clients?

I was very fortunate that when I started Love Mondays Office Space, successfully finding businesses office space came quite quickly afterwards. Developing Love Mondays Office Space into what it is today and the direction I want it to go, was a whole different story. I hope to grow Love Mondays Office Space into one of the most well recognised office space brokerages in the country.

NB: What's been the biggest challenge in building Love Mondays?

The biggest challenge faced so far, is the same one the entire industry is facing. This is a hyper competitive market, and establishing your voice within it will continue to be the challenge we all face. There are more brokers than ever - many with brilliant experience and others with significant scale - so standing out isn't about shouting louder, it's about being clearer about who you are and what you stand for. Newer brands have the experience, while more established brands have the resources to attract more business. The biggest challenge has been carving out a clear identity in a market that's grown incredibly quickly.

Building Love Mondays has been about staying true to a more human, relationship-led approach in an industry that can sometimes feel transactional. That hasn't always been the fastest route, but it's been the right one, and it's helped us attract clients who genuinely value independent advice and long-term partnerships.

NB: You're clearly passionate about helping businesses find the right office space, what are the "must-haves" in 2026?

‘Must haves' depend on what you are trying to achieve. Companies who are embracing hybrid working need more break out and collaboration space. Some brands need to project a certain image, while recruitment firms are heavy on meeting rooms and call booths.

The good news is with the variety now on offer, there's a solution for everyone. Offices are now being designed with real purpose.

My own personal top 3 ‘must haves' are plenty of light, plenty of plants, and a space which offers more than just 4 walls and a desk. The best offices today support how people feel and work, not just where they sit.

NB: There's a lot of debate around the four-day week and hybrid working. From your perspective as a broker on the ground, is it reshaping how companies think about office space - and if so, how?

It is changing how people view office space, and now they are using flexible office space the way it was designed. When I first joined the industry, the perceptions was that serviced offices were expensive, inadequate and often branded to the point where it maybe harmed a business's image -‘oh you're in a serviced office' was the phrase. We then saw the evolution of the office, WeWork entered the scene and made serviced offices cool. People then began to take much larger offices and create their own identity within a space. Now we are seeing the maturity in the industry. Buildings are designed for different ways of working and to get the most out of a flexible office space, you should embrace hybrid working. Take a space for the number of staff you have in every day, and use the rest of the building if you are oversubscribed with additional staff. You don't need to take a dedicated meeting room with so many places offering free meeting rooms and phone booths. This allows your budget to stretch further and get a building which is more likely to make your team want to come to the office, with a gym or maybe a roof terrace  and are more productive when they are there. Then the business is no longer an expense, but an investment in your team.

NB: In your opinion what does Love Mondays offer that other brokers don't.

Love Mondays Office Space isn't just another office brokerage. It is an expert lead, relationship driven office search. People benefit from working with someone who lives and breathes flexible office space, not just an account manager or platform.

Using our experience and expertise to deliver a personal approach to office space, focusing on helping businesses find space that fits their needs and solves their problems, not just ticks a box.

While many platforms focus on volume or automation, we work closely with every client to understand their needs and what drives those needs. We specialise in flexible and serviced office space, our reports are bespoke, and our service is highly tailored. Clients can expect to work directly with experienced advisors rather than passed through a system. We genuinely want you to find an office where you and your team enjoy coming to.

It's still a free service, delivered in a more personal and human way. 

NB: How do you see the business developing over the next 3 - 5 years?

The plan is and always has been to grow, but to grow carefully and with purpose. I am not looking to be a business who only cares about the bottom line. I want to grow a business where people genuinely seek our advice because they know it is accurate, experienced and trustworthy. I want Love Mondays Office Space to be recognised as one of the most trusted voices in the industry.

When I started Love Mondays Office Space, the goal was to encourage business owners to think about how their team use the office and give advice on how to maximise their budgets to get the most out of their office. That hasn't changed, and I see the company getting deeper into specialist advisory. These means deeper relationships, better understand and helping educate the consumer.

Growth is important, but it will come from reputation and trust rather than scale for the sake of it.
