Workspace said in July that customer demand had improved in the first quarter but that activity remains well below pre-Covid levels.

Cash collection of rent due for the first quarter is now at 75%, net of rent reductions and deferrals and the 50% rent reduction offered to business centre customers ended at the end of June.

As of 1645 BST, Workspace shares were down 0.84% at 590p.
