Workplace projects involve significant decisions, multiple disciplines and considerable investment. Yet the process of planning them is often fragmented, with information spread across different sources, expertise difficult to access and too much time spent working out where to start.
We believe there should be a better way.
OUR STORY01 — 06
tendre brings together the insight, tools and expertise needed to make workplace projects simpler. We help occupiers and landlords understand their requirements, make confident decisions and connect with the right suppliers to move projects forward.
Built on over 20 years of experience in the workplace industry, tendre combines practical knowledge with intelligent technology to make better workplace decisions accessible to more organisations.
Our story
Two decades of experience. One idea: remove the complexity.
tendre is the product of two decades spent working across both sides of the workplace market.
As our careers developed, we helped organisations navigate some of their largest workplace investment decisions – from strategy, acquisition and planning through to commercial delivery and exit.
We worked with everyone from global enterprises with dedicated real estate teams to growing businesses without specialist workplace resource. We developed deep expertise in the flexible workspace sector, understanding its operators, commercial models and the workplace solutions that succeed.
Across those experiences, one thing became increasingly clear: the industry had evolved, but the way many workplace projects were initiated and planned had not.
Businesses were still relying on fragmented information, disconnected suppliers and repetitive manual processes to make complex decisions. Finding the right expertise often depended on who you knew, while understanding costs, requirements and delivery options could be unnecessarily difficult.
We also saw an opportunity to bring a different perspective. With experience in commercial delivery and marketing, we understood both the operational realities of delivering workplace projects and the importance of product design, customer experience and digital adoption.
We started tendre to bring those perspectives together.
Our ambition wasn't to add another layer to an already complex process. It was to create one transparent starting point where organisations could access trusted insight, plan with greater confidence and connect with the expertise they need.
We believe organisations should spend less time planning projects and more time delivering outcomes. tendre exists to make that possible.

What matters to us
A better process, by design.
Our experience has shaped how we think about workplace projects and what we believe a better process should look like.
01
Clarity
Complex decisions are easier when the right information is available from the start. Our cost benchmarks and planning tools help organisations understand the scale of a project before committing to it.
02
Confidence
Good decisions come from understanding the options. We give occupiers the tools and insight to assess their requirements, explore costs and make informed choices.
03
Relevant connections
The right supplier isn't necessarily the biggest or best known. Our platform helps occupiers discover businesses based on the relevance of their expertise, experience and location.

Better outcomes
Workplace projects involve many different specialists. By bringing the essential disciplines together, we help organisations move from disconnected decisions towards a more coordinated approach.

We want access to better workplace decisions to be available to organisations of every size.
