Cubo continues to lead the way in the flex office sector, with desk sales across all Cubo sites in Q1 of 2025 surpassing previous records.
From January to March 2025, Cubo recorded the sale of more than 700 desks across its rapidly expanding UK portfolio - an achievement which cements its position as a market leader in the flex office space sector.
With 10,000 plus desks across the UK’s leading core city centres, the disposal of 700 desks represents an additional 7% of total capacity. This achievement strongly vindicates the company’s strategy of securing premium Grade A space in each location – a move that continues to attract a growing number of high-profile corporate occupiers to Cubo and its dynamic flex office platform.
Among the standout successes are the former WeWork site at Manchester Spinningfields, which reached 50% occupancy within just three months of launch, which reflects the growing demand for Cubo’s distinctive, design-led work environments.
Cubo also made a bold entry into the capital in early 2025, launching its London flagship at the prestigious Ilona Rose House, W1. Spanning 28,884 sq. ft of flexible Grade A office space across two floors, Cubo Soho caters for a diverse range of occupiers, from tech startups and SMEs to larger corporate teams.
The launch of Cubo Soho marks a significant milestone for the business, establishing a presence in the capital to meet increasing demand from members looking for a single workplace provider across multiple cities.
With a growing national footprint and more locations in the pipeline, Cubo is set to build on its record Q1 and continue its mission to revolutionise the way businesses work.
Commenting on the company’s continued success, Marc Brough, CEO at Cubo, said:
“Our record-breaking Q1 results are a powerful reflection of Cubo’s continued growth and the clear and growing demand for high-quality, flexible office space.
“Achieving 50% occupancy at Manchester Spinningfields within three months is a testament to the strength of our offer. We have hit the ground running with Cubo Soho and are welcoming more and more exciting businesses every week.
“As we continue to scale throughout 2025, we remain committed to redefining the future of work and delivering vibrant, community-led workspaces that empower businesses to thrive.”
Cubo’s workspaces are designed to meet the evolving needs of ambitious businesses – from hot desking and designated desks to private offices and entire floors – all on flexible terms.
Member benefits include large communal spaces, private areas, break-out spaces, kitchens, an inclusive barista service with beer on tap, and a packed programme of networking and wellbeing events. Members can also take advantage of an experienced front of house team.
As a result, Cubo is the location of choice for a growing number of SMEs, tech companies and corporate companies who are looking for the best Grade A space in each location.
Cubo was recently identified as the fastest-growing operator in the UK flex office market by CoStar, world leaders in commercial real estate information.
Over the past two years Cubo has accounted for 33% of all flexible workspace leasing activity across the Big Six regional cities of Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, and Manchester. This figure exceeds the activity of more established operators, such as global workspace giant IWG and Orega, who have achieved 13% each.
