"The Instant Group’s partnership with Lightsource bp is the most recent example of our managed office delivery which bridges the gap between flexible offices and traditional leases. As Madrid shows one of the highest rates of increase in post-pandemic office take-up, we have several other opportunities in the pipeline. We look forward to leveraging the demand for flex in this region to help our clients work smarter.”
