Workspace provider Regus has opened its first office space on the M56, at the Chester motorway service area.

Regus said it expects the facility to be popular with professionals seeking an alternative to a home office, staff holding meetings, and those who are on the move.

The centre features a drop-in business lounge with free wifi and meeting rooms, which can be booked by the hour.

“Notions of ‘the office’ are changing rapidly and we increasingly need places to connect to work, wherever we are,” said Richard Morris, UK CEO of Regus.

“As a company, we are leading a revolution in the way we work and striving to make modern business easier by extending our network of Express locations at leading transport and retail hubs across the globe,” he added.
