Mapp buys flexible office operator Re-Defined
Property management company Mapp has bought Re-Defined, a flexible office operator which was set up by two former WeWork executives.
The company, brainchild of co-founders Oliver Meyers and Gibran Dar, will keep its branding as it comes under the control of Mapp’s workspace team, which is led by former Workspace Group and Hana director James Friedenthal.
Re-Defined’s first flex space will be at Louisa Ryland House in Birmingham. Totalling 30,000 sq ft across four floors, the space is designed to accommodate a range of occupiers, with hot desks, co-working suites, conference facilities and large private offices of up to 5,000 sq ft. The site is due to open at the end of Q2 2022.

The company is also looking to expand rapidly across the UK, with a pipeline in London, Manchester, Liverpool and Bristol.
Nigel Mapp, CEO of Mapp, said there was “real synergy” between the two companies. “Together I believe we offer unrivalled experience and expertise in the market, providing a service even greater than the sum of its considerable parts,” he said.
Oliver Meyers, partner at Re-Defined, added: “Mapp is a B Corp company with a proven track record in sustainable property management. Being able to tap into that knowledge and resource gives us a massive boost, and I’m sure will help us in delivering market leading flex solutions across the UK.”
