Company mission

Plus X creates inspiring workspace that unlocks potential, driving business growth and innovation, global collaboration and positive local impact.

Our take

On the face of it, Plus X is entering a crowded market. Co-working spaces - a novelty five or six years ago - are now commonplace across the United Kingdom.

However, Plus X are offering a radically different service. Where WeWork offers square foot and ‘vibes’, Plus X is offering services normally inaccessible to small businesses. Think CNC cutters, 3D printers, a podcast studio and a VR filming space. The goal for Plus X is to expand beyond its home of Brighton to major regional towns and cities across the UK through acquisition of sites and special agreements with landlords.

The company has managed to create a truly unique offering in its Brighton Hub, its "Central Research Laboratory" in Hayes, and a Plus X Innovation Lab in Slough. Each is situated in a key commuter hub outside of London and brings a unique offering. With more workspaces in the pipeline, it will be interesting to see if Plus X can replicate its multifaceted successes so far across the rest of the country.
