Flex That Worx
Welcome to Flex That Worx, a podcast for anyone building, managing or growing a flexible workspace without making things more complicated than they need to be.
If you're running a single coworking space, juggling multiple locations, or overseeing a growing network of spaces across towns or cities, this is your space. It’s for the operators, managers, decision-makers, the people doing the work to make these places run.
Each week, we’ll share focused, no-fluff episodes with practical insights on how to run a better workspace. We’re talking about smoother operations, happier members, stronger systems, and sustainable growth. Think of it as your shortcut to learning what actually works.
At Baseworx, we work from coworking spaces ourselves. We see the wins, the mess, and everything in between. This podcast is a way for us to share what we’re learning, chatting with the people doing good work in this industry and helping you simplify how you scale.
Episodes are short, so you can fit them into your week easily. You’ll hear from workspace operators, industry experts, and our team. No jargon, no filler. Just useful ideas you can actually apply.

What PropTech Connect London 2025 Taught Us About the Future of Coworking | S1 EP13
Join Anne-Marie Murphy and Graham Clarke, as they explore the future of coworking and flexible workspaces through insights from PropTech Connect London 2025. This episode highlights the emerging trends in building productivity, efficiency, and wellbeing, and how these innovations are set to transform the coworking landscape.
Key Takeaways for Coworking/Flex Space Operators:
- Embrace sensors, data, and AI to deliver optimal environments for both employers and landlords.
- Prepare for the integration of these technologies into coworking, following the path of remote work and hybrid models.
- Focus on creating flexible, adaptable spaces that can quickly respond to changing needs and preferences, ensuring long-term member satisfaction and retention.
Key Points:
The Two Sides of the Workplace Coin:
Tenants (Employers): Seek to provide an optimal environment that boosts productivity and supports collaboration. Building Owners (Landlords/Operators): Aim for efficiency and profitability, ensuring every square foot is optimised.
From Occupancy to Outcomes:
Move beyond occupancy as a metric to focus on environmental and behavioural data. Utilise air quality, light, sound, and humidity sensors to enhance staff performance. Implement motion and occupancy data for targeted cleaning and maintenance.
Data with Purpose:
Leverage AI to make sense of complex data, enabling real-time adjustments for improved staff experiences and leaner operations. Predictive cleaning, dynamic desk allocation, and energy use that adapts to occupancy levels.
The Return-to-Office Reality:
Emphasise the need to "earn the commute" by offering valuable workplace experiences. Highlight the importance for landlords to maintain occupancy and profitability.
The Next Wave: Digital Twins:
Explore the potential of digital twins to design workplaces that support collaboration and productivity. Use virtual replicas to test layouts and forecast utility, reducing wasted space and capital expenditure
Conclusion:
While these innovations are currently leading in commercial real estate, they are poised to reshape coworking spaces. Operators who embrace data-driven, human-centred design will not only satisfy members but also enhance their business resilience and efficiency.
Stay ahead by tuning into this episode and discover how these PropTech advancements can be applied to your coworking or flexible workspace.
