Bridging lender, TAB, has announced it is launching a new hot desk base for mortgage brokers.
The hot desks facility has been set up for brokers who are currently working from home or are near London.
TAB’s office at The Grain Yard in Borehamwood will be open to brokers with access to all the lender’s amenities including the breakout space and unlimited tea and coffee.
The lender’s CEO and founder, Duncan Kreeger, said he hopes the move would become a useful option for brokers who want a break from working on their own.
“Whether you fancy taking a break from working from home, you’re having a meeting with one of the team, or if you’re just in the area, we are open to all TAB brokers,” Kreeger said. “Get in touch with your BDM to book in a slot. With TAB having recently moved to new premises, we now have the space and facilities to offer this option for our broker clients.”
The move also comes as research from recruiter, Randstad UK, indicated that around half (49%) of professionals in the UK said the pandemic had not changed their view of physical meetings, while more than a third (34%) reported missing them.
Randstad UK CEO, Victoria Short, added: “Almost twice as many people working from home miss physical meetings than think they now look outdated. The chance to get out of the house and have some free biscuits is clearly valued more highly than the time people win back by working from home or the benefits or choosing when you work. Working remotely also appears to be damaging people’s mental health to a degree.”
