What Glandore does

Glandore is an Irish family-owned flexible workspace provider founded in 2001 by Michael Kelly, operating 10 premium locations across Dublin (7), Belfast (2), and Cork (1) with over 170,000 sq/ft and 4,000 desks of capacity. The company offers a full portfolio of workspace solutions including private offices for teams of 1 to 250, coworking, dedicated desks, day passes, virtual offices, meeting rooms, event spaces, and private dining, alongside integrated hospitality amenities through related Kelly-family businesses Suesey Street restaurant and No. 25 Fitzwilliam Place event venue. Customers span startups, scaling businesses, freelancers, multinational corporations establishing Irish operations (supported by an IDA Ireland partnership), and professional services firms; named enterprise logos include Facebook, Gartner, Rapid7, Pzena Investment Management, and Qumulo.

The technology stack centers on managed IT infrastructure — NGN enterprise-grade gigabit fibre, VOIP services, Cisco enterprise-grade networking hardware, secured rack space, and a members portal for booking, partner perks access, and community engagement. The newest asset, Bottleworks (2023), is an NZEB-certified 26,199 sq/ft Enterprise and Innovation Building in Dublin's Silicon Docks, while the legacy footprint is anchored on Georgian townhouses around Fitzwilliam Place and Square. Members also benefit from a dedicated Community Executive team at each location, exclusive events, and a Partners & Perks programme.

The revenue model is primarily subscription-based recurring revenue from office and coworking memberships, augmented by pay-as-you-go meeting room bookings (€60-€95 per booking), event space and private dining fees, virtual office subscriptions, and bespoke office customisation professional services. Glandore employs 11-50 staff, is privately held by the Kelly family with no external investors or funding rounds, and operates a sales-led go-to-market motion built around direct engagement, property viewings, and referrals across all locations. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
