WORKERS who pull over at a Worcestershire service station in the future will be able to pick up more than a drink and something to eat, thanks to a new facility.

Worcester Regus is planning to open a branch of Regus Express– an innovative business centre that caters for professionals on the move – at Strensham Services, on the M5 near Worcester.

The centre will offer technology such as workstations, comfy seats with laptop stands, phone chargers and wifi – plus high-specification meeting rooms available by the hour, to offer somewhere to co-work productively outside of a traditional office environment, or to hold meetings at the convenient roadside location.

Phil Kemp, global managing director of Regus Third Place, said: “Bringing the Regus Express network to the M5 is an exciting development for us, and one which reflects rapidly evolving world of work. Attitudes towards the ‘office’ are changing dramatically.

“Regus Express is popular with people travelling on business and sales teams, but also with the rising number of flexible workers.

“Flexibility in work location is gathering further momentum following the introduction of new regulations which give all employees the legal right to request flexible working. Increasingly, companies with a distributed workforce want reassurance that staff can access a professional work environment rather than just their kitchen table or spare room.”

Simon Turl, chief executive of Roadchef, added: “We are extremely pleased to be working with Regus to bring this additional facility to our motorway service areas. Business users and groups can meet comfortably on the motorway, reducing congestion and unnecessary journeys. We look forward to seeing the network grow.”
