Unlike the old traditional Design Office, Deeo are not constrained by location or a ‘local’ employee model that dictates both expensive overhead costs & a limited number of ‘minds’ available to work on client projects. Instead, the most skilled & appropriate designers & engineers Deeo have, across the UK & globally, are bought together to work within the Deeo’s unique virtual design office. No matter where they are – their home office, a co-working facility or at our customer’s offices, they all produce great things! As some of our team need a ‘place to go’ to do their best work, we have put together this presentation to explain a little more about the growth & advantages of co-working facilities & some of the best we have found across the UK!

What is Co-Working?
If you haven’t got the luxury of a dedicated Home Office
where you can lock yourself away & work from, a Co-
Working Space is probably for you. This doesn't mean
you cant work from home sometimes – its just if you
need that ‘place to go’ routine – a co-working space is
the way we either provide or suggest our team work
from.
Co-Working Space?
Co-working is the use of an office or working
environment by people who are either able to work from
any location, self-employed or part of a start-up needing
to get going without the expense of a dedicated office.
Many members of our team working in these work
environments & they truly love it!
An innovative way to work
Today, about half a million people are working in co-
working spaces.
Reports are saying that in 2016 we’ll see over 10,000 co-
working spaces available!

Working in Todays World
Our team, no matter if they are working in their home
office or at a co-working space, have such an advantage
on the Old ‘bricks & mortar’ office environment where
everyone has to come – from wherever they are – to all
work in one place & within set times. We eliminate these
huge amount of inefficiencies in the Old way of working
& our team benefit from many things such as:
• They have more job control.
• Their workspace is accessible 24/7.
• They can decide whether to put in a long day when
they have a deadline or want to show progress, or can
decide to take a long break in the middle of the day to
go to the gym.
• In a co-working space they can choose whether they
want to work in a quiet space so you can focus, or in a
more collaborative space with shared tables where
interaction is encouraged.
• Minimal Commute – they either go into their home
office & start, or drive a short distance to a local co-
working space & connect up. No more traffic & save
money!

Co-Working Review
Here is a review from a Deeo consultant currently using a
co-working space:
“Working within a co-working office environment has
provided me with many benefits. Not only does it allow in
maintaining a daily routine, team environment & general
company, it also provides me with continual networking
opportunities both professionally & socially.
“Desk shared offices, such as the type I use through Indy
Cube (Wales) offers great financial benefits in comparison
with commercial office hire solutions. You have access to
the best internet connections, storage lockers, conference
rooms, chilled out areas, kitchens, shower rooms & 24 hour
access, all within a single monthly subscription package,
with no minimum contract periods. & at approximately half
the cost of the corporate office options, the unlimited free
tea & coffee is the 'icing on the cake!'
I highly recommend any one doing the same in a bid to
escape the family if you haven’t got a Home Office!”

In Conclusion
This ground breaking model of working, created &
compiled not only brings unrivalled expertise &
flexibility to the Deeo’s designers & engineers, but also
carries a large number of advantages for clients.
From an inclusive & virtual working environment where
clients can log in at any time to their own workstation to

immense talent pool that is available to either bolster or
add to their own in-house capabilities, Deeo can deliver
even the most complex & demanding of projects
seamlessly.
