Case Study - Servcorp (NSW)
Winner, Large Services Award
Servcorp pioneered the concept of the ‘virtual office’ and is now the world's second largest provider of serviced offices. Its products help businesses save time and money and decrease the risks of expanding by providing companies and entrepreneurs with the means for rapid entry into new markets while avoiding high start-up costs.
Beginning at a single location in Sydney in 1978, Servcorp now has operations at 120 locations in 51 cities across 21 countries. Originally, the company provided physical serviced offices, but it has evolved over the past few decades into also exporting virtual office space solutions and cloud technology.
A Servcorp Serviced Office is a fully-furnished, fully-managed executive office suite situated in an A-grade CBD building. A Servcorp Virtual Office® uses the company’s global network of offices to provide a business based elsewhere – perhaps at home or at a distant location – with big business credibility by offering a premium corporate address in a city of choice, plus services such as a local telephone number and a dedicated receptionist to manage calls.
The Australian Export Awards judges observed that Servcorp is an outstanding example of a modern day exporter: they noted that while traditional export business has come from resources or consumer products, services-based companies offering IP, innovation and R&D, are the organisations growing to meet future global demand.
The judges also commended Servcorp for providing and pursuing the early adoption of cutting edge technology which provides clients with the tools that can give them a competitive edge.
