Southampton design and creative agency Red 207 is ten years old this month and held a celebration event at the Regus Centre in Whiteley.

Clients and the Regus Centre team gathered to mark the occasion with agency founder Manjit Loi, who grew up in Newtown, St Mary’s.

She said: “When I started out I leased my own office on Solent Business Park but quickly realised that it wasn’t financially viable.

“The design and creative services sector was badly hit in the recession and having high overheads was an immense burden.”

Manjit started using on-demand workspace at Regus Southampton Airport instead.

“What started as a financial necessity opened my eyes to a better way of working,” said Manjit.
