Regus set to acquire rival Avanta for £40m


Regus is to acquire Avanta, the London-based network of 33 serviced offices, for £40m, taking its total UK portfolio to 320 sites across 50 cities.

Richard Morris, CEO UK, Regus, said, “I am delighted to welcome the customers and employees of Avanta to Regus. Combining the two businesses gives us a network of 320 locations across 50 cities in the UK, providing our many thousands of customers with the very best places to work and be more successful.”

Avanta was formed in 2004 and in July 2013 it was acquired by the AIM-listed company, Serviced Office Group Plc. This led the combined organisation to become the UK’s second largest provider of office space by workstation, behind only Regus.
