FORA Workspaces

airwave deploy a centrally managed digital signage content management system across Fora Workspaces' 12-site estate.

Fora — Modern Workspaces, Modern Technology

Fora was founded in 2014 by Katrina Larkin and Enrico Sanna with a clear ambition: to build workspaces that genuinely reflect the way people work today. Across 12 locations — Brick Lane, Spitalfields, Old Street, Clerkenwell, Fitzrovia, Soho, Shoreditch, Borough, Reading and Southwark — that ambition has taken the form of premium, design-led environments built for businesses of every shape and size.

Running an estate of that scale demands more than good interior design. It requires infrastructure that communicates consistently, keeps members informed, and reflects the quality of the product at every touchpoint — without placing an ongoing operational burden on the team managing it.

That last point was central to the brief. Fora needed a messaging and display system that could run intelligently across the estate with minimal human intervention; one that would handle meeting room availability, wayfinding, member announcements and building information without requiring constant manual input at site level.

The Technology

airwave and digital signage specialists Otrum delivered exactly that. The two companies collaborated to design and implement a centrally managed content system capable of pushing updates simultaneously across all 12 locations. Once configured, the platform runs with a high degree of autonomy — the right information, in the right place, without the need for on-site administration at every building.

The Outcome

The result is a consistent, centrally managed communications platform that keeps pace with Fora’s member experience — and the feedback from the client speaks for itself.

The solution worked miracles, to be honest,  all the issues we had - with hardware failures, with updating content, with involving IT every time something needed to be changed - all these issues were mitigated. This was revolutionary for us.
