5. Businesses are recognizing the benefit of an efficient and inspiring workspace - whilst technology has been a saviour during this time, the additional benefits that an inspiring team workplace environment delivers, has been well and truly discovered.

It is a rare situation to see most business premises relatively quiet and empty – so what an opportunity!
