Emilie Lashmar shared a thorough recap of GCUC UK’s last Manchester event, which she co-hosted with Georgia-Kaye Berry (from Colony).

The recap runs over the data shared by Jordan Saleh (CBRE), Ryan Jans (WeWork), and Tanya Grady (Allied London); what makes a workspace stand out by Nicola Jones (GPE), Lucy Pickavance (Phoenix Resourcing), Ana Bernardo (Work.Life), and Ben Newton (Patch); some indie-vs-big-pocket insights from Lisa Cations (JCR Advisors), Shannon Burke (managed.), Tom Almas (Wizu), Rebekah Lloyd-Beere (Landsec), and Gareth I. Jones (TownSq). Alongside workshops led by Samuel Warren (technologywithin), Manuel Conti (PONT), Claire Carpenter and George Tilbury; Lisa Quait ran the Women in Flex Luncheon. The event was then rounded out with sessions from Nicholas Drew (urbanbubble) and Sammy Dukes (Yardi) on operational intelligence and Pauline Roussel (Coworkies) and Jonathan O’Byrne on community.

Why did we highlight all the speakers above? To elevate the (many new) voices who took the stage in Manchester.

Office Hub announced a new product called Property Hub, aimed at empowering brokers with a powerful CRM that also is plugged into live inventory listings.

The main value prop they’re promoting? Direct inventory integration that allows for faster turnaround from initial request, to proposal, to signed contract. This area is heating up as more and more tools like Valve and managed. that focus on making flex deals faster (read: more profitable) for brokers.

Enter managed., a new data tool that is focusing on connecting London’s top managed office providers with the dealmakers who drive transactions and deal flow.

While there are other players in the market, founder Shannon Burke is working to provide a solution to streamline the process of navigating dynamic inventory with client needs.
