Emergency Offices
Empty offices held on standby at 1 hour availability 24/7 for public sector workplace
recovery, secure rest centres, humanitarian assistance centres, police stations
etc with no retainer or activation cost, pay-as-you-use and rent-free for 30 days.
There are 8,000+ empty offices over 10,000 sq ft across the UK in early 2009 and
many of the owners are willing for them to be used by the public sector in a
disaster on a pay-when-you-use basis.
These buildings are a wasted asset and on average can remain vacant for 24.4 months.
Approximately 80% of commercial property is controlled by just 50 companies.
As part of their Corporate Social Responsibility owners are willing to commit their
buildings to be used for 30 days rent-free subject to all utilities, damage, clean up etc
being paid for and thereafter for a further 30 days at a pre-agreed fixed rent.
Most emergency uses will be less than 30 days. It costs the companies nothing to do
this, so they can offer their sites pay-as-you-use. They do seek recognition of their
community spirit in doing so.
