Case Study

Secret Compass

A successful travel company providing a bespoke adventure travel and team expeditions to extreme locations and remote places as well as Adventure TV & Film projects.

Situated within a serviced office in the centre of Bristol, the company's growth led them to source new office space that they could make their own and put their own stamp on it.

Secret Compass identified 4 Whitehouse Street which was on the market as a 2 year sublease that required minimal fit out. While the space was ideal for their needs and required very little work to bring it up to a suitable condition for occupation, Secret Compass sought the services of Workplace+ to manage all aspects of the running of the office.

As a team where the Directors spend a lot of time abroad, Secret Compass opted to work with Workplace+ to offer peace of mind that even when the Directors were not present the office was still being managed effectively.

Workplace+ offered a fully managed solution managing every aspect of the day to day running of the space from the management of Internet and phones right through to Friday afternoon Beer deliveries.
