The flexible workspace landscape in New Zealand continues to grow, and the latest arrival is an exciting one. HQ has officially launched in Aotearoa under the IWG portfolio, marking another key step in expanding high-quality, accessible, and professional workspace options across the country.

This partnership brings together Two36’s modern facilities and HQ’s global expertise, creating an ideal match for businesses of all sizes.
