FLEXIBLE EXECUTIVES AND THE REGUS GROUP
FORGE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
Alliance Provides Clients with Mutual Access to Flexible Executives' Rich Talent Pool and Regus' Worldwide Network of More than 950 Business Centers
Atlanta, Ga. - Representing the first deal of its kind, Flexible Executives, a national leader in matching seasoned executives with companies for project-based work, and The Regus Group (LSE: RGU), the world's largest provider of fully furnished and equipped offices today announced a two-year strategic partnership between their companies. Creating the ultimate flexible work solution, the alliance will provide the respective firms' clients with mutual access to Flexible Executives' blue chip talent and Regus' worldwide network of more than 950 business centers.
"Regus' world-class reputation and flexible workspace solutions makes them an ideal partner. Our breadth of professional services that are available on an as-needed basis really complements the flexible infrastructure Regus offers its clients," explains Jamie Pennington, President of Flexible Executives. "This collaboration creates a unique, mutual competitive advantage in serving the needs of the growing small business sector."
In forging this alliance, these two industry leaders have responded to a growing need for one-stop, comprehensive work solutions. Small and mid-sized businesses can now enjoy comprehensive access to "Class A" workplace options and outstanding executive talent at flexible, affordable rates, all in the same place. The alliance allows Flexible Executives clients to automatically be enrolled in the Regus Network Access program, which offers members unlimited access to any Regus business lounge worldwide.
Founded by two over-achieving sisters who faced their own need for greater life balance after motherhood, Flexible Executives made its first talent match in 2005. The web-based company has since established a strong national footprint. Representing an average of 18 years of experience, much of the firm's network is comprised of highly educated executives including former partners in law firms, lobbyists, bankers, sales & marketing consultants, managers from Fortune 100 firms, and retired C-level executives, which are all available for project-based work.
Regus' Network Access program is the only membership program that provides members with unlimited access to 950 business lounges worldwide. Located in first-class office buildings in key business districts, Regus business lounges offer mobile professionals a quiet, comfortable alternative to hotels, copy shops, and coffee houses. All business lounges offer complimentary high-speed Internet access and gourmet coffee and tea. Network Access members can enlist administrative support and also utilize copiers, faxes, and printers for nominal service fees. Members may also opt to take advantage of fully furnished private offices and meeting rooms, available by the hour or the day.
