Comet Consulting are a consultancy firm that offers guidance to businesses using Salesforce. They contacted us after issues with their current office meant they needed to relocate. We helped find a serviced office for rent in Waterloo that suited their needs.
Comet’s Search Criteria
Comet Consulting required space for 8 desks and had a clear preference for offices in the SE1 area. With less than a month to find and move into a new office space, timing was critical to ensure everything was agreed before their start date.
Our access to both newly listed and off-market offices meant we were well placed to identify suitable options quickly, saving them the time and effort of searching independently.
How Our Team Assisted
During our first call with Comet Consulting, they gave us a clear and detailed brief. This helped us to narrow the shortlist quickly, and we set up a day of viewings. They decided on their preferred office space within 24 hours of viewing, and from here, we moved straight to negotiations.
Why SE1 Worked for Comet Consulting
SE1 is a popular Central London postcode, covering the South Bank, Waterloo, London Bridge, Southwark, Borough and Bermondsey. For a small consultancy like Comet, the area offers proximity to the City of London at a more accessible price point.
We have noticed the area is becoming increasingly popular with SMEs, placing Comet alongside businesses of a similar size and profile.
Given the urgency of Comet’s search, they had limited time to evaluate the local area in detail. SE1’s variety of local amenities, including Borough Market, the Southbank Centre and several green spaces, meant we were confident it would provide a good day-to-day environment for a small team.
The area also benefits from strong transport links, with both Waterloo and London Bridge stations offering tube and rail connections across London and beyond.
The Office Space They Selected Near Waterloo
Comet took space on Blackfriars Road in an impressive four-storey Victorian property with a strong street presence. The office is located near Waterloo station, providing good accessibility for the team.
The workspace came fully furnished, which was essential for Comet, and allowed them to move in and begin working straight away. Well-equipped meeting rooms provided a dedicated space for client discussions and internal catch-ups.
We particularly liked the generous breakout space, which benefits from a large skylight that lets in ample natural light. This, along with banquette seating, creates a relaxed and welcoming setting for their staff.
During our visit, we noticed that the building also has a fitness studio, which we felt was an excellent addition that further enhanced the employee experience.
Our team negotiated a good deal, and Comet were able to move in immediately, with everything completed in less than a week from our initial call.
