24 | Midlands Enterprise Awards 2020 Sep201048 Serviced Offices of the year 2020 Excalibur Serviced Offices is a Redditch-based provider of offices to let, meeting and conference facilities for both internal and external clients. Residents are provided with high-end IT support, on-site call answering, package and post handling, clerical, copying and printing services. Approximately two hours from London, Bristol and Manchester, Excalibur’s excellent motorway links have made it an ideally located premise with a surprisingly wide radius. Accessible from all over the country, Excalibur has welcomed residents from all over the UK, including businesses operating across multiple branches or franchises, who are able to use the fantastic links to their advantage. Closer to home, Excalibur plays host to a network of small and large businesses within its facility, making it an ideal location for new and established businesses alike to make connections, giving confidence to young businesses in particular as they look to begin expanding their enterprise. Excalibur is much more than an office space; it is a community of like-minded business professionals who are able to mingle in light, comfortable communal areas and share ideas as they each strive for success. Excalibur was created after its sister company, Lansalot Limited, had been trading for almost a decade and was looking to expand into larger premises in the local area. Discovering a lack of facilities that fulfilled the company’s needs or met its budget, the team set about creating Excalibur with the help of Worcestershire Business Central. Beginning by taking on a much larger space, the firm then branched into providing services alongside its office spaces, marking the beginning of Excalibur. Today, Excalibur is like a family, dedicated to creating a homely yet professional environment for its staff and residents. Developing strong relationships with the businesses that use their services, Excalibur can make sure the spaces are ideally suited to them and their needs. The conscientious care that Excalibur has become known for is fundamentally thanks to the staff who work hard to ensure the high standards are maintained, taking pride in their space which nourishes and inspires business and innovation. Staff are therefore recruited principally for the customer-centric approach to work, as well as for the alignment of their values with Excalibur’s. Once part of the team, Excalibur encourages its staff to grow and develop and despite being a small firm, it has proudly supported three apprentices to pass at Level Three and Four to become IT Infrastructure Technicians, arming them with vital skills and qualifications as they continue along their career paths. The outbreak of Covid-19 has unsurprisingly seen a marked shift in the way businesses operate and Excalibur is not exempt from this. The company’s plans for expansion have been halted for now, as Excalibur focuses its efforts on creating and maintaining a ‘Business Bubble’ that allows residents and staff to continue operating and supporting their businesses through these unprecedented circumstances safely. This has included the implementation of strict protocols to minimise the risk of infection, such as the introduction of hand sanitizer stations, markings for social distancing, protective screens around reception, track and trace systems and thorough cleaning of all surfaces throughout the day. It is undoubtedly a challenging time for Excalibur and its residents, but the firm remains resilient and positive. Their priority is, as always, the comfort and safety of the community that operates from their facility and to that end, Excalibur will continue working hard to maintain the same levels of excellence in service and office space as it has done since day one.
