First Business Centre To Be Developed At Heathrow

Heathrow and Regus have announced plans to develop the first independent business centre at the UK’s hub airport, with Regus Express set to open at Terminal 5 this summer.

The move responds to a growing demand for 'third place' work locations where business travellers can check their emails, hold conference calls and meetings and print documents. Regus Express will offer a quiet, professional business lounge with a co-working space, private workstations, to be known as 'ThinkPods' and secure WiFi, as well as meeting rooms available by the hour.

Stephen Wilkinson, Heathrow's Property Director said: "We are delighted to welcome Regus Express to Heathrow. More business passengers pass through Heathrow than any other airport in the world, making the opening of this centre at Terminal 5 an innovative solution for our customers."
