Whatever the reason, the city brings together an ambitious business culture with a pace of life that makes it an appealing place to stay and grow.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That appeal is drawing an increasingly broad mix of industries to the city. Alongside its established strengths in science and technology, Exeter is becoming home to more professional services, growing businesses and regional teams looking for a well-connected base.

Think about how much space you actually use, whether headcount is likely to change, and how often your team needs access to meeting rooms or shared areas. Location matters too, particularly if employees are commuting in or clients visit regularly. Most importantly, choose a workspace that can adapt to your business, with flexible terms and the option to take on more space when you need it. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Not everyone needs a private office.

There is a reason Exeter has one of the fastest-growing economies in the UK. Its business community has been shaped by a strong culture of research and innovation. While science and technology have long been at the forefront of the city’s growth, its economy has since diversified across a range of thriving industries. As that business community continues to expand, so does the need for flexible workspaces that support everyone from independent professionals to growing teams.

Why More Businesses Are Choosing to Work in Exeter

There are many reasons why more and more businesses choose to work in Exeter. Some come for its strong digital infrastructure, some for the excellent start-up community, while others are drawn by the quality of life beyond the working day. Whatever the reason, the city brings together an ambitious business culture with a pace of life that makes it an appealing place to stay and grow.

That appeal is drawing an increasingly broad mix of industries to the city. Alongside its established strengths in science and technology, Exeter is becoming home to more professional services, growing businesses and regional teams looking for a well-connected base. Its compact size is part of the draw too, making it easier to move between meetings, the office and the city centre without losing half the day in transit.

A Working Day That Extends Beyond the Workspace

One of the biggest advantages of working from a coworking space or office in Exeter is how easily the day extends beyond the building. From Southernhay, you can step out between meetings and feel the city working around you. Grab a quick coffee before heading back to the office, take a walk past Exeter Cathedral to clear your head, or stop for lunch nearby without needing to plan your whole day around it.

When the working week is over, the wider appeal becomes even clearer. Exeter offers the energy of a growing regional economy while places like Exmouth Beach are around 20 minutes away, giving you the kind of work-life balance that is much harder to find in a larger city.

What Growing Businesses Need From Their Workspace

Rapid growth can often be unpredictable. That’s why it’s important to choose an office space in Exeter with the flexibility to adapt when you need it. The ability to add more desks or take on a larger space without repeatedly moving gives your team more time to focus on what matters most, when it matters most.

That flexibility goes beyond the size of a private office. Ready-to-use spaces remove much of the time and effort that comes with setting up from scratch, while coworking areas, day passes, shared facilities and bookable meeting rooms give people more choice in how they use the working day.

Choosing the Right Office Space in Exeter

The right office space in Exeter should work for the team you have now, while leaving room for what comes next. Think about how much space you actually use, whether headcount is likely to change, and how often your team needs access to meeting rooms or shared areas. Location matters too, particularly if employees are commuting in or clients visit regularly. Most importantly, choose a workspace that can adapt to your business, with flexible terms and the option to take on more space when you need it. 

Not everyone needs a private office. A freelancer may only need a desk a few days each month, while a hybrid worker might use a day pass between days at home. Small teams may prefer coworking, where they can access shared breakout areas and bookable meeting rooms without taking on more space than they need.

More Flexible Office Space for Exeter's Growing Businesses

Demand for flexible office space in Exeter is continuing to grow, both from businesses moving into the city and from those already expanding their teams here. In response, Clockwise Exeter has opened a new phase with 106 additional desks, creating more room for new members while giving existing businesses greater flexibility to grow within the building.

Several current members are already increasing their footprint, with some doubling the amount of space they occupy. The new phase is not simply about adding more desks. It is about giving businesses the option to scale without having to leave the workspace and community they have already built around them.

Find Your Space at Clockwise Exeter

Clockwise Exeter sits at Broadwalk House on Southernhay, putting you close enough to the centre of the city that the working day can move easily beyond the building itself. A coffee between calls, lunch with a client, or a quick walk through Cathedral Green can all fit naturally into the day without feeling like a detour.

Inside, the space is built around the way work actually changes from hour to hour. You might start the morning in the coworking lounge, move somewhere quieter when you need to focus, then book a meeting room to bring people together later in the day. The result is a workspace that feels less fixed, giving teams the freedom to use it differently depending on what the day asks of them.

The addition of 106 new desks opens up more of that space to Exeter’s business community. For new members, it means more choice, whether they need occasional coworking access, a dedicated desk or space for a growing team. For those already based at Clockwise, it creates the opportunity to take the next step without leaving behind a workspace that feels familiar.
