Harlow business centre receives almost £300,000 of upgrades 

As any small or medium business owner or entrepreneur will attest, a small upgrade to facilities can make a world of difference to daily office life. At Greenway Business Centre in Harlow, we have gone a great deal beyond small upgrades – almost £300,000 beyond. Take a look at our newest upgrades in our continuous effort to provide our customers with the very best facilities. 

Why we’re constantly updating our facilities  

Running a successful business requires focus, and as a small business owner, your environment shouldn’t be a source of distraction. Research suggests that the physical work environment, including facilities, plays a critical role in workplace wellbeing, focus and productivity, potentially reducing employee turnover and increasing profits. By investing in modern, high-quality infrastructure, we ensure our entrepreneurs can concentrate on their core service offering while we handle the background details that keep a workspace running smoothly. 

New kitchens take lunchtime to the next level

We understand that the “breakout area” is often where the best collaborative ideas are born. To support this, we have recently completed the installation of four brand-new kitchens across blocks A, B, and D at the Greenway Business Centre. 

These areas were in need of an urgent refresh, and we have invested over £50,000 to ensure they meet the high standards our customers expect from modern serviced offices. For the busy entrepreneur, having a clean, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing space to prepare a meal or grab a coffee isn’t just a luxury; it’s a necessity for maintaining momentum throughout the working day. These modernised spaces provide a professional environment that reflects the high standards of the businesses that call Greenway home. 

A sustainability update in our quest for net zero 

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals are no longer just for large corporations; they are increasingly vital for SMEs and small businesses looking to build a sustainable future. According to the British Business Bank (2021), smaller businesses are responsible for around half of all UK business greenhouse gas emissions, meaning every efficiency update counts toward the national net-zero goal. 

At Capital Space, we have long since made it our mission to support our customers’ sustainability journeys, investing £18,000 in a brand-new, high-efficiency gas boiler. This upgrade isn’t just about reducing our carbon footprint; it’s about reliable comfort. As energy efficiency becomes a priority, this new system ensures that our business owners remain comfortable during the winter months without the waste associated with older, less efficient units. It’s a practical step in our ongoing commitment to providing technologically-ahead-of-the-curve workplaces that align with modern ESG values. 

Ongoing bathroom upgrades

The largest portion of our recent investment has been dedicated to our communal facilities. We believe that every aspect of a business centre should reflect professionalism, and that includes the areas that are often overlooked. 

We are currently in the final stages of a massive modernisation project for our communal bathrooms, costing over £200,000. These facilities have benefitted from a complete face-lift and structural modernisation. This work is due to be completed in June, providing a fresh, high-end feel for both our customers and their visiting clients. 

When you invite a potential partner to your office, every detail of the building contributes to your professional image, and these upgrades ensure that Greenway continues to be a location you are proud to work from.
