The flexible workspace industry came together, Thursday 23 November 2023, at The Landmark Hotel in Marylebone, West London, as the Flexible Space Association (FlexSA) hosted its highly anticipated annual Gala Dinner and unveiled the prestigious FlexSA Awards 2023 winners.

Jane Sartin, Executive Director of the Flexible Space Association, said of the event, “Our Gala Dinner is a firm fixture in the flexible workspace industry’s annual calendar, and it was good to hear many of the guests saying it was the best one yet. We had a record number of entries for our awards, and it was wonderful to celebrate the finalists and winners, and put the spotlight on many achievements of the past year.”
