New business centre opens at Birmingham Airport

WORKSPACE facilities have been upgraded for travellers using Birmingham Airport with the opening of a new business centre.

Global workspace provider Regus has developed the innovative new drop-in facilities, which are intended to support mobile and flexible workers and is situated a short walk away from both the check-in and arrivals area.

The facility, operated through Regus Express, features a professional business lounge and a suite of high-end meeting rooms offering an instant, fully-equipped workspace.

The lounge is designed for business travellers seeking a professional haven away from noisy concourses, and for businesses looking for a suitable location in which to hold meetings convenient for travelling delegates.

Regus Express customers will also have access to dedicated parking spaces at the airport.
 
The business lounge includes workstations (ThinkPods), comfy seating with laptop stands, secure wifi, printers and scanners as well as complimentary refreshments and administrative support.
 
Phil Kemp, Global Head of Third Place at Regus, said: “Most workforces are far more agile and mobile than they were a few years back, but there is a growing need for professional work and meeting space on the go. Regus Express offers business people a productive alternative to working in noisy public areas.  We also expect the location to become a popular venue for local and national businesses to hold meetings with contacts who are flying in or out of the airport.”
 
The company intends rolling out the Express concept to other UK airports in due course.
 
Richard Gill, Birmingham Airport’s Head of Commercial, said: “The arrival of this new state-of-the-art business lounge, delivered by Regus, is great news for the millions of business passengers who pass through the terminal each year.
 
“Now passengers flying to and from Birmingham can continue their working day without disruption, with the added advantage of discounted on-site parking for users of the facility.

“We’re confident the Regus Express lounge will prove to be extremely popular within the region’s business community and demonstrates our commitment to providing passengers with the facilities they need.”
