Regus helps Exeter workers to catch the big match

Free access to local business lounges to help people work locally and be ready for England vs Wales 2pm kick-off.

Workplace provider Regus is helping local professionals to catch the England vs Wales European Championship match by opening its business lounges up for free.

The match has been touted as one of the biggest Internationals for both countries in decades. Unfortunately, tournament organisers have scheduled a 2pm kick-off on Thursday 16th June – presenting a logistical challenge for the UK’s football mad workforce.

Regus has provided local workers with a solution, enabling them to work from nearby business lounges rather than struggling with the commute and potentially missing the unfolding drama at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis in Lens.

Exeter workers can head to the business lounge on Exeter Business Park where they will find a modern, productive work environment equipped with high-speed connectivity, coffee and refreshments, and professional front-of-house staff.

Richard Morris, UK CEO, Regus comments: “We know how much this match means to everybody and our network of business lounges puts us in a unique position to help. Our thinking is that, by working locally rather than commuting to the main office, people will be better placed to get to their favoured football-watching location in time for the 2pm kick-off.

“Of course, the match is in office-hours, so workers will still need to negotiate timings with their bosses. But we are seeing businesses think far more flexibly about working patterns, and we believe many will be willing to accommodate the football fever.”

The Regus business lounge is located at 1 Emperor Way, Exeter Business Park and is available for free on a first-come-first-served basis from 9am, June 16th.
