Never has remote working been more familiar to a nation than in the last year. Whilst the pandemic caused many companies to advise their employees to work from the comfort of home — today, it still remains that the state of working arrangements is far from returning to normal. Even when life does return to some notion of normality, many employers are vowing more flexibility and understanding, regarding working practices, having made discoveries that working remotely is no less effective and perhaps even more productive than working a standard 9-5 in an office setting!

With that freedom comes the flexibility to choose your working-from-home destination. You could be lounging poolside with your laptop, or gazing out across mountainous surroundings — after all, it’s been proposed that having a dynamic work setting keeps productivity levels balanced. So, what are you waiting for? The possibilities are endless.
