Flexible workplaces provider Regus will manage an upcoming Business Centre at the Dubai World Central (DWC) headquarters, DWC announced.

A DWC statement said the Business Centre would be a one-stop solution for companies seeking small office space, meeting rooms and video communication facilities. It will be used by both local companies looking to work from the prestigious DWC address and businesses keen on establishing an initial presence in the region. Any firm that signs a minimum one-year lease at the Business Centre will be entitled to apply for a trade licence.

“A demonstration of DWC’s commitment to providing world-class, value-added services to investors and tenants, the Business Centre will provide a fully flexible way to work through the innovative Business Lounge allowing members to take advantage of secure Internet access, comfortable work space and all-day refreshments on a drop-in basis,” the statement said.

Rashed Buqara’a, chief operating officer, Dubai Aviation City Corporation, remarked: “The upcoming opening of our Business Centre – managed by Regus, a leader in workplace solutions, underlines our focus on providing first-class facilities to companies that choose to locate at Dubai World Central, which already offers a host of strategic advantages.”
