CORPORATE PROPOSAL

Welcome to HUB XV

HUB XV transforms largely under-utilised event space and corporate hospitality areas in sports

stadiums into vibrant business community spaces where members can work and collaborate as

part of the HUB XV membership community.

A key differentiator for HUB XV is the elite sports culture upon which our business community is

based. Former and current stars from the worlds of rugby, cricket, athletics, football and other

sports are among our network. This elite talent inspires our values, enriches our teams and gives

HUB XV members access to high-level connections.

HUB XV is underpinned by a robust online presence which supports all daily operations and

gives members an exclusive gateway to the broader HUB XV community, engaging business

events, further networking and special offers.

Corporate use of coworking spaces

Given the nature of many corporates, HUB XV will explore the provision of a dedicated

or segregated space within the HUB XV venue, together with any specific IT or staffing

requirements.

We understand issues around security and privacy prevent many larger companies from using

collaborative work spaces, and this is an issue that we seek to address.

We can devise a customised corporate package agreement to allow expansion or contraction

of staff numbers (and space) with minimum interruption on very flexible terms and highly

competitive pricing.

Corporates are increasingly using coworking spaces attracted by lower costs, increased

flexibility, a stronger emphasis on employee values, and the drive for attaining innovation and

collaboration.

Coworking spaces are no longer developed for just freelancers, entrepreneurs and start-ups.

Larger enterprises are increasingly understanding the measurable and tangible benefits of

placing teams at coworking spaces.

Innovation and collaboration are high on the agenda. 78% of corporate executives believe it’s

important to collaborate with entrepreneurs to encourage innovation according to Accenture’s

“Harnessing the power of Entrepreneurs” publication. Similarly KPMG’s Director of coworking

states “We identify teams of individuals who are complimentary to the space and task them with

getting to know the business owners. They then make new connections as appropriate and build

relationships”

Serendipity Labs add “large employers are keen to respond to employees desires by adopting

modern work values through the implementation of structures including remote and flexible

working”. According to research by Gallop, the highest employee engagement is seen amongst

those who work remotely up to 20% of the time.

Furthermore businesses often manage projects and need to send teams to cities or countries in

which they have no permanent office or presence. Coworking spaces provide this, even if there is

an office in that location it may be better to derive the additional benefits a coworking

space provides.

Soon to be published, the Angela Mortimer plc 2019 Blue Book Employment Survey states: “ only

4% of companies ranked flexible working as a key criteria for potential employees, compared

with 48% of candidates. Also, 56% of companies reported an increase in flexible working

requests”

It continues: “nearly half of organisations recognised positively that the physical office space

is becoming less important to achieving business success. Mainly due to advancements in

technology, work is becoming more flexible”
