IWG reports rise in UK workspace visits as hybrid working takes hold

Firm says suburban sites are among its fastest-growing as workers try to save on commuting costs

The return to the office after the pandemic lockdowns gathered pace in 2022 as hybrid working took hold at British businesses and employees headed to desks in suburban locations, according to figures from the workspace provider IWG.

The average number of visits to IWG's more than 300 UK workspaces climbed by 54% from January to November, as more workers split their time between home and office.
