Scaling from six to twenty-eight people without a broker

- 9 mthsTime from first desk to full suite
The challenge
Atlas runs a round-the-clock operations desk, so the building had to support overnight shifts without feeling like an empty warehouse at 3:00 AM.
Growth was fast but unpredictable, tied to contract wins that were rarely confirmed more than a month ahead.
What we did
A corner suite with 24/7 access and its own break area gave the overnight team somewhere civilised to work, with security and cleaning aligned to their shift pattern.
We held an adjacent suite as an expansion option, releasing it in stages as contracts were signed rather than requiring a single commitment up front.
Where they are now
Atlas reached twenty-eight people in nine months and never once paused hiring for want of a desk. Their COO describes the expansion process as one conversation and a keycard order.
“Scaling from six to twenty-eight people took a single conversation. No brokers, no fit-out, no eighteen-month lease negotiation. We just moved upstairs.”
