WHAT'S THE RELATIONSHIP?
YOU TELL US WHAT YOU NEED
We take time to understand your requirements. The
preferred location and building type are key. Then we look at the details. You want double size kitchens, tick. You want phone booths, tick. You want cleaners twice a day, tick. You want a resilient IT infrastructure, tick. We have a checklist to help guide you. Your wish becomes our command.

THEN ORIENT GO TO WORK
Orient will source the space and negotiate with the lease with the landlord to give you occupation with a simple all-inclusive monthly fee. This wraps in your rent, rates, service charges, utilities, cleaning, furniture, connectivity and most day to day office management.
WHAT'S THE PROCESS?
We Listen
The first stage is to understand your requirements- where, how many people, growth projections, sensitivities, branding and image
We Brief
Interpretation is key. We draw up your requirements. It’s your brand, your
culture, your solution. We want to dedicate our time to save your time. After seeing and approving the designs, give it the nod and we go to work
We Present
We keep the options to a goldilocks selection – not too many and not too few. Our team will give a design interpretation of the offices and a choice of locations and indicative price options
We Consult
Once the shortlist is shorter we set to work planning and pricing to give you robust cost projections in the form of an all inclusive ongoing monthly fee
You Decide
Once the location, design, term and facility management is defined and fully costed and agreed, the decision is yours
Go Orient
We deliver your space in time and continue to manage the property during your occupation

The Management Team
Julian Cooper
Managing Director
I have been running the Clarendon Group since inception in 1998 when the flex concept was in its infancy. My focus is always on product and relationships. Our relationship with clients and landlords work both ways, and a harmonious rapport builds trust and confidence and thus enhances the product. The era of “space as a service” completes this circle between the 3 parties.
Outside of the office I enjoy spending time with my family and as many sports as I can- a jack of all sports, but master of none it seems.
Candy Woodington
Operations Director
With 20+ years working in the flex space industry I am driven by maintaining and improving on operational efficiency and customer care.
An experienced, driven and fun team are key to success in the industry and investing in the right people to build the business is essential.
With an ever changing demand for workspace that promotes imaginative and creative places to do business this is the goal for Clarendon.
Making time to spend time with the family is a key objective for me to enjoy the great outdoors whether home or away.
Ben Hutchen
Head of Property
As a Chartered Surveyor I have 20+ years experience in looking after buildings and sourcing new opportunities on competitive terms.
The holy grail of analysing building cost alongside potential ‘flex’ revenue is all in a day’s work.
Outside work, I am a father of 2 young boys trying to pass on my love for sport and the great outdoors.
Mark Dalton
General Manager
Mark has worked in the facilities management field for over 25 years, in both the public and private sector. He has a wealth of experience in specialist roles encompassing facility and contract management giving a real understanding of client requirements to successfully manage change through all areas of the business.
Outside of work he has two teenage children that keep him as busy as Claro, and when ever he can will get out and about off road in his Land Rover seeing the British Isles from a very different view point.
David Mann
Head of Finance
David has worked in senior finance roles in industry for over 15 years including many years in property related companies and worked earlier in his career for one of the big four accountancy firms. He has a high attention to detail and a firm grasp on the finance and administration of the business alongside monitoring the performance of individual centres, overseeing the accounts team and supporting the rest of the business.
When not at work, he enjoys an active life with his family, loves to travel and if time allows intends to get back into leisure sailing next year
