Exciting news for London-based space-as-a-service startup, Bold with its acquisition by Newable
NewFlex, the leading provider of branded office solutions, powered by Newable, has acquired London-based space-as-a-service startup, Bold. Bold offers asset owners a creative and boutique flexible office space brand designed to attract entrepreneurs and innovators, with spaces characterised by daring and impactful interior design.
Leveraging this model and backed by NewFlex, Bold will open 25+ locations in the UK over the next 36 months. Bold-branded flexible workspaces come as a complete turnkey package that includes design and build, hospitality, events and wellbeing, sales and marketing and the Bold tech platform.
NewFlex delivers and manages a range of branded flexible office solutions for every type of location and occupier. All workspace solutions benefit from the common NewFlex platform, from demand generation, to building management and compliance through to account reporting, yield optimisation and planning.

The acquisition of Bold is the latest in a string of deals signed by NewFlex, at a time when leading property consultancy JLL predicts that 10 million sq ft of flexible workspace will be added to the UK market over the next five years.
Caleb Parker, co-founder of Bold explained: “We are excited to join NewFlex for the next stage of our growth journey. The traditional lease model is being disrupted by flexible workspace operators who are taking margins from landlords. Bold’s aim is to protect the value of real estate assets and create flexible workspaces that entrepreneurial people love.”
Chris Manson, CEO of Newable said: “We’re thrilled to have Bold join the NewFlex family and expand our offering of workspace solutions for even more SMEs and entrepreneurs. We share the goal of providing beautifully designed workspaces for a diversifying range of occupiers and with Bold, we are able to tap into the increasing demand for unique office solutions. The addition of Bold is a significant step forward in spearheading our 2020 plans of continued growth and optimising our existing portfolio of flexible office brands.”
