The sun came out on the 19th of March for our Daffodil Day coffee morning in aid of the Irish Cancer Society.
We enjoyed a coffee morning at three of our office locations.
The Barista Bus made delicious fresh coffees and served homemade cakes at Gray Office Park. Our tennants enjoyed a coffee under the morning sun and we even had support from our neighbours at Belissimo’s.
Down at Odeon House, we had a delivery of tea, coffee and pastries from Ground and Co. The place was buzzing by mid morning, and it was brilliant to see such large support.
We also enjoyed a coffee morning at The Red Church in Limerick, where Petit Paris brought us tea, coffee and crossaints.
Thanks to the generosity of Gray Offices clients, we raised a grand total of €1,034 for The Irish Cancer Society.
A big thank you to everyone who came out to show their support for the coffee morning. The event would not have been possible without the enthusiam and kindness of Gray Office Club members!

In todays business world, productivity is key to keeping ahead and staying competitive. Companies of all sizes are looking for working environments that foster focus, flexibility and efficiency. Serviced offices have emerged as a powerful solution for boosting business productivity through offering a range of features that allow teams to work for effectively while minimising distractions and overhead costs.
Ready To Use Workspace
One of the biggest productivity benefits of serviced offices is the immediate availability of a fully equipped workspace. Businesses can move in and get to work without worrying about setup, installation, or furnishing. This allows companies to hit the ground running, avoiding downtime and getting straight to their core operations. Leaving them to boost their productivity levels.
Reception Support and Mail Address
Our serviced offices include reception and mail address services, this significantly reduces the time employees spend on non-core tasks. With front-desk staff to manage incoming calls, handle mail, and greet visitors, teams can focus on their work without being distracted by routine office duties. This level of support creates a more professional and seamless operation, ensuring that important communications are handled efficiently.
Flexible Workspaces for Dynamic Teams
One of the greatest advantages of serviced offices is the flexibility they offer. Businesses can scale their office space up or down depending on their current needs. This is particularly beneficial for growing teams or project-based work where space requirements fluctuate. Employees benefit from working in an environment that adapts to their needs, allowing them to stay productive without the limitations of fixed office layouts or long-term leases
Enhanced Work Life Balance
A well-designed serviced office can support work-life balance, which is critical to maintaining long-term productivity. Many serviced offices offer flexible working hours and convenient locations, allowing employees to manage their time more effectively. With amenities like stocked kitchens, breakout areas and being in a central location near to amazing lunch spots employees can take breaks, recharge, and return to work with renewed focus, helping them stay productive throughout the day.

This year’s annual summer party was particularly special as we launched an exciting new initiative: The Gray Offices Club.
We believe in celebrating our community and prioritizing company connections among our members.
The event was a fantastic opportunity for our members to unwind, network and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere that defines Gray Offices. We hosted the party at The Hyde Bar in Galway, with an evening of food, entertainment and catch ups.
The highlight of the night was the introduction of the Gray Offices Club. This exclusive membership offers unique benefits within the local area with our partnered businesses. While the specifics of these benefits are reserved for our members, we can share that the Gray Offices Club is designed to enhance the overall experience of being a part of our company!
We are committed in supplying a distinctive and enriching environment for our members. We are thrilled to see what positive impact that the Gray Offices Club can bring and look forward to many more celebrations and milestones with our wonderful community.
Thank you to everyone who joined us at the summer party and helped make the launch of the Gray Offices Club a success. We appreciate your support and enthusiasm, and we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.

Le meas,
Gray Offices

We sat down with the talented Joanne Sweeney from Digital Training Institute for a chat about what she has been up to! Joanne has been apart of the Gray Office Park community for a while now and as 2018 has been a huge year for her we wanted to hear all the latest news.
2018 was a bold year
This year I niched down at Digital Training Institute. I was brave and bold as I pivoted to specialise in the Government and public sector by creating sub-brand called Public Sector Marketing Pros. I’ve been providing digital marketing and social media consulting and training for 10 years, but this year was about setting my business up to scale.
Any good digital marketer knows that to scale online, you need a solid niche. I’ve always worked with public sector and in fact three years ago wrote a book on how police forces use social media.
I also published a book, launched a 12-month accredited Diploma in Digital Communications for Public Sector, hosted a sell-out national conference in Dublin, researched, wrote and launched a national report, spoke on stages in Brussels, London and across Ireland and reached 123 podcast episodes.
But I’m just warming up.
2019 will be about leveraging
With two Public Sector Digital Marketing Summits planned for next year – February in Brussels and June in Dublin – I’m going to be leveraging the hard work put in this year. I plan to scale my online business and get greater exposure in new markets like the US and Australia.
Quickfire Questions!
What is the most rewarding part about the work you do?
I love teaching and empowering people with the knowledge I have. I believe in transformation and I practice what I preach. My business gives me many remarkable opportunities to speak on stage and work with international governments and public sector bodies.
What has been a highlight for 2018 for you?
It’s probably got to be hosting Ireland’s first Public Sector Digital Marketing Summit at the Round Room in the Mansion House in Dublin. It was over-sold and I got remarkable feedback. Watch the video below.
What do you love most about Galway?
I love Galway because it’s my home, even though I’m from Donegal. I came here as a teenage parent in 1997 with a 2-year-old daughter. Galway has been very good to me and I have a strong sense of connection with it. I also love to live by the sea, as I grew up by the sea.
What is your favourite thing about Christmas?
Time off and spending quality time with my two children. It’s also my birthday on New Year’s Eve, so I’m always off work to celebrate.
