In 2012 Regus began crafting deals to help address the needs of mobile workers across Europe. The company launched partnerships with French and Dutch train operators to offer workspaces at train stations in the Netherlands and France. Regus also formed a partnership with Shell to offer workspaces and business centers at gas stations.
Regus Group in 2008 initiated a reorganization plan to cut costs. It moved its headquarters from London to Luxembourg and changed its place of incorporation to Jersey to take advantage of tax breaks. The company initiated a new restructuring plan in late 2009 to help it weather the economic downturn while still opening new business centers in new and existing markets. The plan included a workforce reduction and closing underperforming centers.
The company's revenues have been rising, and Regus is well-positioned for further growth through acquisitions. In 2011, Regus made an unsolicited bid for MWB Business Exchange, which operates some 70 UK business centers. MWB Business Exchange rejected the bid, preferring a takeover bid from majority owner MWB Group, and Regus withdrew its offer.
CEO Mark Dixon, a former hot dog vendor who founded the firm in 1989, owns about 40% of Regus Group. – less
