Office Space in East Leeds for Growing Teams
Choosing an office for a growing team isn’t as simple as counting how many people need a desk.
Your team might be 6 people today.
Next year, it could be 10.
And before you know it, you’re wondering how everyone ended up in the meeting room because there aren’t enough desks.
That’s why choosing a workspace with different office sizes and flexible options can make life considerably easier.
At 2-Work Plateworks House, private offices are available for different team sizes, alongside coworking and managed office options.
What Office Size Does Your Team Need?
There’s no universal answer, but your current headcount is a good starting point.
Small teams
If you’re a team of around 5–6 people, a smaller private office can give you your own dedicated space without paying for desks you don’t need.
Growing teams
For teams of around 7–12 people, you’ll want to think about whether everyone needs to be in the same office and how much room you’ll need for collaboration.
Larger teams
Once you’re getting towards 15–20+ people, you may want to consider a larger office or a setup that gives different teams their own areas.
Plateworks offers office options across these different requirements, giving growing businesses more flexibility when choosing their workspace.
Don’t Just Think About Desks
A good office needs to work for more than sitting at a computer.
Think about:
- Meetings
- Client visits
- Video calls
- Team collaboration
- Quiet work
- Breaks
- Hybrid working
- Future recruitment
At Plateworks House, businesses can also access meeting rooms, coworking memberships and virtual office services alongside their private office.
That means you don’t necessarily need to make your private office huge just to accommodate every possible situation.
What About Parking?
If your team drives to work, parking can be a big factor when choosing an office.
Plateworks House has free on-site parking, alongside straightforward road access.
That can make a big difference if your employees are commuting from across East Leeds and the surrounding areas.
What’s Around Plateworks House?
Your office location needs to work outside the office too.
Around Plateworks House you’ll find:
🥙 Regular local food trucks
🛒 A large Tesco
💪 Gyms and leisure facilities
🎾 Padel courts
And Leeds Bradford Airport is around a 30–45 minute drive, depending on traffic.
So your team can grab lunch, go for a workout or pick up essentials without having to trek into Leeds city centre.
What If Your Business Wants More Control?
Not every growing business wants coworking.
Sometimes you want your own dedicated office, but you don’t want to take on everything that comes with a traditional commercial lease.
That’s where the managed office option at Plateworks comes in.
The managed offering is designed for businesses that want their own dedicated office while keeping things simpler, with rent, service charge and utilities included as part of the offering.
Can Your Office Grow With You?
This is one of the biggest questions to ask before choosing workspace.
If you’re hiring, your office needs to give you options.
At Plateworks, there are different office sizes, meaning businesses can adapt their workspace as their team changes.
You don’t have to predict exactly how many employees you’ll have five years from now.
And honestly, if you could predict that accurately, you probably have bigger things to worry about.
The People Matter Too
Of course, an office isn’t just about the building.
At 2-Work, our people are our USP.
The community team is there to welcome visitors, help with the practical things and create a workspace where businesses can connect.
Professional when you need it.
Friendly all the time.
