Exec Digital Magazine Gets Face to Face with Mark Dixon, Billionaire Founder of Serviced Office Giant Regus

    NORWICH, UK, July 02, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- If there is one thing that bodes well for Regus in today's economy, it's that clients are constantly looking to make their operations more efficient and less costly. In 75 countries, Regus does just that: Providing fully furnished, fully technologically equipped offices on a short term contract basis for a more flexible corporate world. In this month's Exec Digital magazine, found on ExecDigital.co.uk (www.execdigital.co.uk), Mark Dixon, founder and CEO of Regus, opens up about being an entrepreneur since the age of 16 and how Regus is on the cutting edge of the business communication experience with its new HD telepresence facility.

Quotes from the article:

• Mark Dixon on Regus clients: "The recession is forcing companies to rationalise their costs and in doing so they're moving more and more people to work from home. We see a definite and permanent trend amongst companies that decide to reduce costs by using a flexible workplace rather than a fixed workplace arrangement."
• Mark Dixon on HD telepresence: "It's all about taking new technologies and making the world a more efficient place."
