I’m So Driven, I’m at My Desk Before I Reach the Office

It gives a whole new meaning to the phrase hot desk and would come in handy for any executive looking to drive their company forward. Yesterday the unique motorized desk stopped off in Bristol to promote the launch of new serviced offices in the city.

The desk was built for serviced office provider Business Environment Group (BE) by automotive boffin Edd China, whose previous vehicles have included motorized sofas and four-poster beds. Powered by a 1.4 litre engine, it features an computer, phone, printer, water cooler and conference table with three chairs.

BE used the desk to promote its 50,000 sq ft Temple Gate business center which has recently undergone a multi-million pound refurbishment. It includes offices with a staffed reception and switchboard, security and broadband access. BE has spent more than $32 million acquiring and refurbishing buildings in Bristol, Milton Keynes and London in the past year.
