Salary benchmarks
Our take
Fora offers businesses flexible, design-led workspaces built to fit every workstyle, from private offices to shared desks. And they're standing out with wellness areas, rooftop terraces, and quiet zones.
With locations across the UK, Fora is built for the rise of hybrid and remote work. However, it exited the German market to refocus its efforts on the UK in 2026, where it will restructure itself as a profit-share with landlords. It also opened new spaces in London, doubling down on its home turf focus.
