Business workspace provider Regus will open its first Express location on the M6 next Monday. (24 November)

Located at the Sandbach South motorway service area, the centre will ape the 25 other locations across the country by offering drop-in meeting lounges, meeting rooms and free wi-fi.

Regus is also planning to open four other centres before Christmas. These are: Watford Gap (M1), Strensham North (M5), Norton Canes (M6 Toll) and Chester (M56).

“We are excited to open our first workplace on the M6,” Phil Kemp, managing director of Regus.

“One of the primary ways that the centres are used is by motorists dropping in to check their emails and make urgent phone calls, rather than doing this at the wheel,” said Kemp. “They also serve as convenient meeting points, and occasional workspace for remote workers.”
