Founders behind UK’s original managed office concept see pronounced uptick in sales 

New figures from MetSpace, the London managed office specialist, show the number of operator agreements the company has completed has grown by an average of 78% per year over the last four years.   

This aligns with overall growth in the sector, as industry figures show that managed office supply more than doubled from 2024 to 2025, increasing by 101% (source: Rubberdesk). Meanwhile, the demand for managed offices grew by 23% (source: Savills/Workthere). 

Occupancy figures also held strong for MetSpace, as its occupancy averaged 93% across more than 100 offices during the period, against a flexible workspace industry average of 80% (source: Flexioffices).  

The MetSpace team grew by eight people in 2025, with new hires across acquisitions, buildings management and maintenance, and is now 23 people-strong. 

More than 750 buildings now offer managed offices within the UK, according to figures from Workthere and Savills, marking a 66% increase from 2022. A sizeable 98% of the managed office market is in the capital.  

Robert Schogger, co-founder and CEO at MetSpace, commented: “We’ve long seen the potential for managed offices, having introduced our first in the late 1990s, and we’re certainly seeing the demand reflected in our recent figures.  

Our clients increasingly come from a range of sectors – for some, this marks their first managed office, while others have been embracing them for some time. Our experience has proved invaluable in navigating a growing and evolving market. Decades on, the key principles of a good managed office remain the same – efficient management for all parties, long-lasting, sustainable fitouts and taking a thoughtful approach with every interaction.” 

In 2025 the Women’s Super League (WSL) chose a MetSpace managed office for its first move out of Wembley, while MetSpace recently partnered with the Crafts Council to offer beautifully presented office space in Angel’s iconic Grade II listed chapel on Pentonville Road.
