Spaceworks

Supporting A Growing Multi-Site Business Centre Portfolio Through Responsive Facilities Support

Spaceworks is a leading Bristol provider of managed workspaces, offices and business centres, supporting a diverse community of businesses across the city.

Light & Airey was appointed following concerns regarding inconsistent service standards and reliability from a previous supplier. While Spaceworks valued the existing cleaning team, they required a more responsive and professionally managed service capable of maintaining the standards expected across their growing portfolio.

The relationship began with four business centres and has since developed into a long-term partnership supporting six locations across Bristol.

Raising the Standard Across Every Centre

Spaceworks required a reliable service partner capable of supporting multiple business centres while maintaining consistently high standards across communal areas and shared facilities.

Inconsistent service delivery and poor reliability from a previous supplier risked impacting the experience of licencees and undermining the professional environments Spaceworks worked hard to provide.

The business required a supplier capable of managing the contract effectively, responding quickly to issues and providing confidence that facilities would consistently reflect the standards expected by licencees and visitors.

The Solution We Delivered

Light & Airey implemented a smooth transition process, including the successful TUPE transfer of the existing cleaning team, ensuring continuity of service and minimising disruption across all locations.

Initially appointed to maintain communal areas throughout four business centres, the relationship quickly developed as Spaceworks gained confidence in our responsiveness, communication and service delivery.

Today, Light & Airey provides a broader range of facilities support services including:

  • Communal Area Cleaning
  • Office Deep Cleaning
  • Carpet Cleaning
  • Event Support Cleaning
  • Emergency Response Cleaning
  • Floor Maintenance
  • Floor Scrubbing, Polishing and Restoration
  • Consumable Supply Management

Our team also supports licencees directly where required, helping maintain professional and welcoming environments throughout the Spaceworks portfolio.

Supporting Growth And Simplifying Service Management

As Spaceworks expanded its portfolio, Light & Airey expanded alongside them.

The relationship has grown from four business centres to six, with service hours increasing across several locations to support changing operational requirements.

Over time, Spaceworks has consolidated additional services under the Light & Airey contract, reducing the need to manage multiple suppliers and providing a more streamlined approach to facilities support.

Services previously sourced separately, including floor maintenance and consumable supplies, are now coordinated through a single trusted provider.

This enables Spaceworks to benefit from consistent communication, simplified supplier management and a single point of accountability across multiple service areas.

The Outcome

More than six years after the contract began, Light & Airey continues to support the Spaceworks portfolio through a responsive and flexible facilities support model.

The relationship has expanded in both scope and responsibility, reflecting the trust developed through consistent service delivery, proactive communication and a commitment to supporting the Spaceworks team and their licencees.

Today, Light & Airey is regarded as a trusted facilities support partner, helping maintain professional, well-presented environments across a growing portfolio of business centres.

  • Successful TUPE transfer and contract mobilisation
  • Portfolio growth from four to six business centres
  • Increased service hours across multiple locations
  • Expansion into multiple facilities support services
  • Improved supplier consolidation and contract management
  • Responsive emergency support and issue resolution

What the client says

“It’s rare for anyone to even mention the cleanliness of the buildings, which, to me, is the highest compliment. It means they consistently deliver an outstanding standard that simply goes unnoticed because it’s always perfect.”
“They clearly have effective systems in place for their teams and for covering absences, which ensures the service never dips.”
“I honestly cannot recall a single significant problem we’ve had.”

“I would absolutely recommend Light & Airey. They provide a truly reliable, consistent and worry-free service that allows us to focus on our core business, knowing our site is always maintained to the highest standard.”
