Hot wired for growth

Article Abstract:

The e-commerce company, boo.com, sells sportswear to a global market. It has been operating since Dec 1998 and in Feb 1999 moved into a building in Carnaby Street, London. The firm, which was started by Patrik Hedelin, Ernst Malmsten and Kajsa Leander, was run by just eight people. But by April 1999 the workforce had grown to 110. The management of boo.com realised they needed to employ a firm to manage their changing property needs and they asked Space Station to take on the task. They eventually found suitable office space at Regent Street, London, which was owned by The Crown Estate.
