Benefits of Workshop17’s private offices
When Steve Johnson looked for a workspace in Mauritius, he needed a modern, well-equipped space that could support his team's growth. Workshop17’s private office turned out to be the perfect solution.
“The private offices were chosen because we want to grow in terms of the people that we employ here in Mauritius, and W17 allows for that flexibility.”
Workshop17 provides all essential amenities from day one: privacy, access to high-speed internet, printers, and fully furnished offices were key factors. This setup allowed his team to operate efficiently and focus on their core business activities. “It’s very easy to scale up or scale down depending on wherever your business is today or what it could be tomorrow,” he says, highlighting the adaptability of the Workshop17 model.
Meeting room and boardroom facilities
Workshop17’s meeting and boardroom facilities significantly enhance his business operations. The ease of booking these rooms through the Workshop17 platform is a standout feature. "You can move into meeting rooms and boardroom facilities of different sizes and seating plans," Steve notes. This flexibility is crucial for conducting professional meetings, brainstorming sessions, and client presentations. The availability of these well-equipped rooms ensures that Frontline Research Group can maintain a high level of professionalism in all their business interactions.
Moreover, the flexibility of working from any Workshop17 location is a major advantage. “The model is great. Not only does it offer you the flexibility here but also have access to all the W17 on the island but also in South Africa if you need be.” Workshop17's recent partnership with KOFISI further expands this flexibility, allowing access to 22 locations in different countries across Africa.

A vital aspect of Workshop17 is its vibrant community. The opportunity to network and collaborate with other professionals within the Workshop17 community is invaluable. This diverse mix of entrepreneurs, medium-sized companies, and large businesses fosters a dynamic and supportive environment. For Steve, being part of this community means having access to a network that understands his business needs and supports growth. The well-stocked kitchenette, with coffee and sparkling water, adds a homely touch, making the workspace comfortable. "Being part of this community feels almost like home," Steve shares, highlighting the welcoming environment created by the friendly staff and fellow members. This supportive atmosphere helps him feel part of a community, even when many of his team members are not physically present in Mauritius.
