In Feb 2022, MAPP acquired RE-DEFINED to broaden the offer and resources required to scale in the fast moving Flex industry.

RE-DEFINED operates flex workspaces within a variety of clients buildings. Services range from design and build to marketing and lettings, and of course pure operations; onboarding occupiers and delivering great services to occupiers, their staff and guests.
