Are you a professional considering a fully serviced office?

Perhaps you are looking to create a Christchurch presence? Or you might be sick of working from home or working alone?

We have recently purchased, fitted out and moved into our new long term company head office in Christchurch.

We now seek to create a business chambers/strategy hub that offers bespoke business services to similar medium/large privately owned companies across the region and wider New Zealand.

A unique business hub that might suit (but not limited to) experienced professional directors, merger & acquisition experts, financial services advisors, private equity advisory, futurists or strategic marketers.

A chance to create unique business advisory & valued services and mutual referral opportunities.

We are able to offer a customised package including limited admin support, wifi, meeting rooms/small board room, great kitchen & social facilities. Parking options close by.

We have two office spaces both capable of comfortably accommodating one or two people and an opportunity to be integrated with our team based in the Tower Junction area of Christchurch. This could be a short or longer term arrangement.
