Hub Australia share that their One Two Five by Hub location have been awarded FlexGrade Gold certifications across every single assessment category… and the first flexible workspace in Australia to be officially certified!

Preferred Office Network today announced the launch of a new brand identity. The rebrand includes a refreshed logo, updated website, and a modernized visual and verbal identity across platforms reflecting the network’s evolution, momentum, and focus on streamlining workplace solutions for multi-market companies of all sizes.

Also in the announcement were some notable developments from Preferred including delivering 200 flex spaces with JLL for Fortune 500 client’s distributed teams, expanded strategic partnerships with FlexGrade and Syncaroo, and extending their single-invoice and centralized account management across 1,200+ locations.

Flexible workspace expert Michael Dubicki (now at NCG) shared an insightful post where he identified four technology companies transforming flexible workspace operations through data intelligence and process automation. He suggests potential combinations could create significant industry impact, such as WIN plus ReturnSuite for asset class credibility, or FlexGrade plus Uniti AI for objective decision-making.

Is this as the beginning of "operational self-awareness" phase for the flexible workspace sector, moving beyond product understanding to internal process optimization?

UK flex space operator Landmark has become the first operator to submit its entire national portfolio for FlexGrade independent quality benchmarking, marking a significant move toward transparency in the UK flexible workspace market.

Two Landmark locations have already achieved Gold ratings: New Cavendish in central London and Wogan House, which reached 100% occupancy within six months of opening. The operator believes the FlexGrade rating system aligns with its client-first approach and provides benchmarks for refurbishments and new buildings as part of its portfolio "premium-ising" strategy.
