(Spoiler alert – It’s so you have access when you work best and when your clients need it too). Â
Most serviced offices in the UK follow a familiar pattern with doors opening at 8am, closing at 6pm, and staying firmly shut at weekends. That works if your business runs 9-5, but so many customers – and entrepreneurs – want to work when it suits them.Â
Both at Hoddesdon and Theobalds Enterprise Centres, our serviced offices, are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For many businesses, it’s why they choose to take space in our buildings. Here’s why. Â
Deadlines don’t keep office hours
Some people just prefer to work when it suits them or their family. Others may face client deadlines. When your work spills outside standard hours, you shouldn’t have to relocate to a kitchen table or a café with patchy wifi. With round-the-clock access, your professional workspace at BEC (that’s Broxbourne Enterprise Centres) is ready when you are.
Some industries don’t keep traditional hours
Some of our clients run businesses that don’t naturally work Monday-Friday. They may need space for clients to visit on a Saturday, or for staff to work overnight, particularly if they offer a 24-hour service themselves. BEC serviced offices allow all your staff and visitors access to your space when you need them to – whether that’s Sunday at 6pm or 2 o’clock in the morning.Â
Work with clients across time zones
If you deal with customers or suppliers overseas, our working day rarely lines up with theirs. A 9am start in Sydney is the middle of the night in London, and a call with New York can run well into the evening. With 24/7 access, you can take those calls from a proper office with a reliable connection, rather than from your spare room.
Let your team choose how they work
Some people do their best thinking at 6am when others are still tucked up in bed! Developers, designers, recruiters, e-commerce teams and consultants often find that flexible hours produce better work, and a workplace that’s open when they need it makes that possible. Flexibility is also a perk when you’re trying to recruit new team members.
Skip the rush hour
Whilst we have great transport links to both business centres, round-the-clock access means your team can miss the peak commuting times, work around the school run, or start early and finish early.Â
Ideal for growing businesses
Startups and small teams rarely have the luxury of a fixed routine as founders juggle client work, investor calls and product deadlines. We know that the busiest hours are often evenings and weekends. A serviced office with 24/7 access lets you grow without being tied to someone else’s opening hours.
Choose a serviced office in Cheshunt or BroxbourneÂ
A serviced office gives you a professional base and flexibility, and with 24/7 access, it means that you have privacy and availability when work demands it.Â

We say, ditch the 9-to-5 (sorry Dolly!)Â
Whether 24/7 access is a real need or a great benefit, come and see our Hertfordshire serviced offices for yourself. We have two options, one in Hoddesdon and one in Cheshunt, just off the M25. Come and visit. We’d love to show you around and find out how a 24/7 serviced office could work for you.
Natural light is one of those workplace factors that is easy to overlook during a viewing and very difficult to compensate for once you have signed a lease. The good news is that across Hertfordshire, Essex, and North London, there is genuinely good quality office space available that prioritises exactly these qualities.
If you would like to explore office space where your team can work in a healthier, more productive environment, we would be delighted to help you find the right fit. Get in touch with our team today.
