From noisy neighbours to shoddy WIFI, working from home can have its perks. But, that’s not to say that the practice doesn’t come with its fair share of challenges too. Luckily for the people of Fife, a new office and coworking space is soon to open in Kirkcaldy.

The three Cs that make a great coworking and office space
For some people, the move back to the office couldn’t be more welcome, while others may need a bit more convincing. We asked Emma Watson, office sales manager at Regus Kirkcaldy, what makes a great coworking and office space?
Emma said: “Most importantly, we want to let people know that the Regus Kirkcaldy is more than just four walls – it’s a place to focus in peace, relax and unwind as well as meet and connect with other people.
“From our Starbucks© coffee machine to our professional in-house teams, we aim to offer a fully comprehensive service and make us a one-stop shop for people needing office services on either a daily or longer basis.
“It’s all about the little things we offer.”
So, what does Regus Kirkcaldy offer that makes its coworking and office space stand out from the rest?
Comfort
Whether it’s on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, when you set up at Regus Kirkcaldy, you’ll enjoy the benefits of everything you need from an office setup whilst still enjoying plenty of creature comforts. From the moment you enter, you’ll be greeted by a warm and friendly reception. The office design is modern and minimal without being sterile and cold, and boasts premium furnishings and cutting-edge technology, ensuring seamless productivity from the outset.
While you’re working at Regus Kirkcaldy, you’ll have everything you need for a comfortable working environment, including ergonomic furniture, high-speed WiFi and access to break-out areas. Set within thriving business centres with professional in-house teams, the team will take care of everything – including the utilities and cleaning – so you can focus on driving your business forward. Plus, you’ll have access to a variety of other spaces and services, such as bookable meeting rooms, conference rooms and coworking spaces.
Choose from fully-equipped day offices, small offices, custom offices or large suites – your space should reflect your goals and provide the best environment for as much productivity as possible.
Community
According to a 2022 HowNow survey taken across 3000 Brits who are working from home, more than two thirds (67%) of workers in the UK feel ‘disconnected’ from their colleagues. This contributes to half (49%) admitting this is having a negative impact on how they view their job and a third (32%) saying it’s having a negative impact on their mental health.
When people work from home, they can miss out on things like the unexpected chat with a new friend by the coffee machines, agreements and decisions that can only take place in a breakout room, or even popping to the shops on your lunch break to pick up a last minute Christmas gift – these social interactions are important in feeling like you belong to a community and are vital to building positive mental health.
Charity
Emma is keen to not only create a place for people to feel inspired and productive – she’s also driving a push for the Regus Kirkcaldy to become an engaged and interactive part of the local community.
Emma said: “I believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back. By getting involved with local charities, I aim to make a meaningful impact and contribute to worthy causes. I think that together, we can create positive change and inspire others to join in making a difference.”
One of the greatest parts of coming in to a shared office or coworking space is seeing the work that goes on beyond its four walls. Regus Kirkcaldy will be more than just an office – it will be a recognisable face in the community that exemplifies what it means to care for and look out for others.
