Envoc are a software consultancy specialising in web and mobile app development. They approached us looking for office space to rent in London, and we found them a workspace in Mayfair that matched their brief.
What Envoc Were Looking For
Envoc contacted us looking to establish a London base. They were seeking a statement building with enough space for 20 desks. The team wanted to explore a range of options across Central London, from London Bridge to Mayfair.
They also told us that they had a firm deadline of six weeks from the first enquiry to being settled into their new office.
How We Found the Right Fit
We started with a phone call to understand exactly what Envoc needed. We discussed their preferred areas and took note of where their staff and directors were based, using this to ensure the location worked well for the whole team.
We then handpicked a selection of buildings we felt matched their requirements and organised viewings. From this, a clear front-runner emerged, and we arranged for them to see the space again before moving into price negotiations.
Why Mayfair Suited Envoc
In our experience, Mayfair and Piccadilly are consistently among the most sought-after business addresses in London. For a company like Envoc establishing its first London office, the address carries real weight, signalling credibility and ambition to clients and partners.
The area offers access to several green spaces, including Green Park, Hyde Park, and St James’s Park, which we find helps make the transition to a new city more appealing.
Accessibility was a key consideration throughout the search process. Green Park and Piccadilly Circus stations provide strong connections across London and suited the commuting patterns of Envoc’s team.
The surrounding Michelin-starred restaurants and luxury hotels also reflected the prestigious environment Envoc sought for their first London office.
The Space They Rented
Envoc chose a serviced office in an elegant Grade-II-listed building on Piccadilly. The property has a strong street presence, with tall windows overlooking Green Park, which we felt reinforced the statement office environment they were looking for.
We felt the sleek, contemporary reception area was well-suited to a company that regularly welcomes visiting clients.
The space was fully customisable, giving Envoc the flexibility to make it their own as the business grows. The open-plan layout also comfortably accommodated their requirement for 20 desks.
We completed the search in four weeks from the initial enquiry and secured Envoc a rent-free period as part of the deal, giving them additional time to prepare for the move.
