Fuel service stations under the Shell brand will soon feature business lounges, following a deal with serviced office company Regus. The agreement will see internet access, document copying services and courier delivery facilities offered at sites across Europe.
The first of the outlets, which target travelling businesspeople, has opened at a Shell site near Paris. The deal will allow Regus to expand its network of 1,200 offices in 500 cities, and offer a new service to Shell customers.
"This alliance allows Shell and Regus as market leaders in their respective fields to come together to better serve our customers," noted Shell's Vice President of Retail in Europe, Istvan Kapitany. Regus Founder and Chief Executive, Mark Dixon, said the new facilities would be a boon for travelling workers. "Though they communicate and work using smartphones, tablets and laptops, they miss access to a professional place to work, meet or think where there is easy access to state-of-the-art business facilities," said Dixon. "By opening Regus business lounges at motorway stations, Shell and Regus are bringing vibrant business hubs right to the roadside."
