At Kontor, we partner with ambitious businesses to create spaces that accelerate growth. From early-stage startups to established scale-ups, our focus is on understanding each client’s unique journey; aligning property decisions with culture, strategy, and long-term goals.
We recently sat down with Meg, Head of People at Risk Ledger, to talk about her experience working with Kontor; how the partnership began, what’s kept her coming back, and how the relationship has supported their continued growth.
When Risk Ledger raised their Series A funding, the team faced a familiar challenge: finding an office space that could evolve alongside their ambitions. The company had outgrown its workspace at Mindspace on Appold Street and needed a new environment that reflected both its momentum and culture.
That search led them to Kontor.
“A colleague sent me a link to Kontor’s website and said, ‘This looks decent’,” recalls Meg. “I reached out, and Tash got in touch straight away. From the very first call, she understood what we needed.”
Meg began working with Kontor in mid-2023, as Risk Ledger prepared to scale. The brief was clear: find a space that balanced quality, flexibility, and value. What stood out immediately was Kontor’s tailored, consultative approach.
“We didn’t have all the answers from the start,” Meg admits. “Tash helped us understand the options available for a company at our stage of growth. She brought insight not just into office sizes and layouts, but into what would make sense for us long-term.”
The process was collaborative from day one. Kontor’s digital shortlist tools made it easy for Meg to share options internally, while Tash’s ability to interpret the team’s evolving needs kept the search moving forward efficiently.
“We looked at a lot of spaces,” Meg says. “Having everything presented clearly and digitally was a huge help, especially for a tech company like ours.”
Like many scaling businesses, Risk Ledger initially expected a more transactional experience. Instead, Kontor offered something different: expert guidance that felt genuinely bespoke.
“I didn’t realise that level of tailored advice existed,” Meg explains. “I thought it would be more of a ‘here’s a list of offices, off you go’ kind of thing. But the consulting and advising part, having someone who truly gets your organisation, that was a revelation.”
That understanding became even more valuable when Risk Ledger’s needs shifted. As the business grew, they decided to stay within Mindspace and expand instead of moving elsewhere; a decision shaped by Tash’s strategic thinking.
“Tash encouraged us to keep an open mind,” says Meg. “She showed us how we could make our current space work harder. We ended up taking on additional offices and opening up the floor to create more square footage without a full relocation.”
Since their first project together, Kontor has continued to support Risk Ledger through multiple stages of expansion, helping the team assess when to reconfigure, when to grow, and how to plan.
“As a startup, every cost matters,” Meg notes. “Tash really understood that balance between spend and growth. She helped us find the right space at the right price point, and to adapt it as our headcount increased.”
The relationship has become a trusted partnership rooted in continuity and expertise. With years of shared context, Kontor now acts as an extension of Risk Ledger’s team, ready to anticipate their next move.
“We’ve built a relationship over time,” Meg says. “So when we need to expand again, Tash already knows what we value, how we work, and what matters to us. That makes everything faster and more effective.”
For Meg, the most valuable part of working with Kontor is the human relationship behind the process.
“It’s not just about finding an office,” she reflects. “It’s about trust. Office spend is one of the biggest investments a growing company makes, and we need to know it’s the right one. With Kontor, we have a partner who genuinely cares about what’s best for our business.”
Backed by over a decade of experience helping high-growth companies make confident property decisions, Kontor continues to support Risk Ledger as they scale. The collaboration is proof that when insight meets understanding, the result is more than an office; it’s a foundation for growth.
