Andy Bedwell, Owner Point of Difference

This is a building with “great bones” as one of our clients described it. We have amazing plans to bring it back to life to make better use of the outside space, natural light and open areas. We’re bringing in more greenery, light natural materials and texture to make it quite a special place to work.

Serviced offices and shared workspace with plenty of parking and M40 links

A fantastic space for businesses to collaborate and develop together.

Serviced offices and a vibrant business community.

With its expansive 13,000 square feet, we have created a thriving community hub for businesses on the rise.

Equipped with essential amenities like a welcoming reception and bespoke, serviced office spaces, the Bicester Innovation Centre is designed to cater to the diverse needs of growing ventures.

With on-site parking and an outdoor breakout area, we’re not just providing functional workspace but also nurturing environments where creativity can flourish – whether it’s brainstorming sessions under the sun or casual networking over coffee.

This space is a dynamic hub of collaboration and opportunity, where businesses can connect, innovate, and thrive together.

Offices

We have a range of serviced offices, suitable for 1-25 people in size, with spaces to suit all budgets. Whether you are a 1 person start up business or a well-established team, we have something that will fit all requirements. Full bespoke office refurbishments are available as an option, giving you the opportunity to tailor your workspace to suit your needs. Here at BIC we want to create a workspace environment for you that enhances both creativity and productivity.

Meeting Rooms

Seating from 8 to 16 people, our two meeting rooms are ideal for holding team meetings, casual catch ups, interviews or 1:1 session’s. Conference call facilities are available in the Conference Room and a screen with HDMI cable is available in the Meeting Room. They are bookable by the hour, half day or day.

If you want to add an extra special touch to your meeting then refreshments are available – from tea, coffee, still and sparkling water, to lunch being ordered in using one of our local suppliers. We have it covered.

Dedicated Desks

Dedicated desks are available in a shared office space. This gives you a permanent desk and lockable pedestal, with 24/7 access to the office.

A perfect option if you’re starting out or just want a place to work away from home but don’t have the requirement for a full office. We are all about making connections, so sharing the space with others is a great way to interact and form a community.

What our clients say

“Our company, FitnessGenes, provides DNA testing for health, fitness and wellbeing. Our team is made up of scientists, doctors, developers and support staff.

We’ve been based at Bicester Innovation Centre (BIC) since 2014. Our co-founders live in Bicester, so the location is ideal for them plus it’s easy to access for our colleagues who visit from London, Leicester, and other parts of the country.

Over the years we’ve gone from having 13 Bicester-based employees in one of the larger offices, to currently having 4/5 team members based in Bicester and in a 6-person office. The range of office spaces within the Innovation Centre means that we’ve never had to look at moving elsewhere; the Innovation Centre has always been able to meet our requirements.

When we expanded into the Covid travel testing market in 2020 and needed more space, we quickly took on an additional room which allowed us to expand the team and ramp up operations. When we scaled down in 2022, the BIC team were very helpful, and we were easily able to move our second office to a smaller storage room.

Point of Difference (POD) took over the Innovation Centre earlier this year and we’ve seen huge changes already. Their passion and enthusiasm for improving the offices, facilities and communal spaces has been evident from the moment they took over.

Everyone in the POD team is a pleasure to work with. The reception team (Naomi, Jackie, Jane and Jess) are super friendly, approachable and knowledgeable; whether it’s questions about fire marshals, meeting space or topping up kitchen supplies. The operations team (Simon, Andy and Vashti) are easy to contact (very visible, there’s always someone on site!) and keen to help.

On the rare occasion something has gone wrong (an IT error left us without a meeting room booking), the team couldn’t have done more to help us resolve the issue.

It’s reassuring for us to be able to trust that the POD are taking care of things. As a small business, we don’t have the resources to manage everything that comes with renting an office (rates, internet, facilities) etc. so to be able to leave everything in their capable hands leaves us to focus on our actual business.

Communication from the POD regarding changes to the site have been very efficient. We feel fully informed of any changes and POD involve all the tenants when it comes to making decisions.

The office becoming dog-friendly has been a huge positive for us; it’s so nice to have our furry friends at work.

We are excited to see what the future holds working at The Innovation Centre with POD running the show!”

Hannah GriffinExecutive and Business Support Officer Fitness Genes

Excellent customer service and an amazing work space to hold our workshop in. Thanks to Jane and Jackie for looking after us.
I’d highly recommend the Perch Coworking offices

We used Perch Coworking as filming venue for our yoga content. The space is beautifully presented which provided as a stylish backdrop for the videos. The team were incredibly helpful and welcoming which made the planning process very straightforward. We’d highly recommend this as a venue to hire for videography or photography. We will definitely use the space again. Many thanks to the team at Perch.

I’ve used the co-working space a couple of times now on day passes. Great facilities and really useful way to get out of the typical 4 walls for some novelty.

Great Team, great system, great place and great coffee – what more could you ask for? OK. Great wifi too. I will definitely be back to use this co-working space. If you need a working place in Bicester, somewhere to “perch” for the day (see what I did there?) then this is the ideal Perch.

Fantastic space, great facilities, helpful staff.
Would be helpful to get advice on longer stay parking option at Sainsburys in advance, when I’d asked, to reduce time walking around Bicester moving cars! But I cannot fault the venue and hope to return again.

Brilliant meeting facilities. Most of my work is done remotely but I have used Perch several times for in-person meetings with clients or welcoming a new colleague. The space is beautifully designed and has a unique, welcoming atmosphere. I booked hot drinks and biscuits as well as a light lunch for my most recent meeting, which were excellent. I feel lucky to have such a fantastic workspace nearby.

Moving to Guardian House was a big step for epik8, as we were only a small team of 4 people just over a year ago. We had a vision that we wanted to expand the business and Andy and Vashti made this process as stress-free as possible.
As Covid hit we had to think about social distancing and people working from home so we took on a second office in Guardian house and it was a lifesaver to keep our staff in the office and more importantly keep them safe. Extra safety measures were put in place by Andy and Vashti, weekly emails sent around to make sure we all knew what to expect, even a vertical pub was introduced.
Overall we are now a team of 19 full-time staff and without the help and flexibility from the Point of Difference team, this could have coursed a big headache for us.
