With this goal in mind, he launched Regus in 1989 with a single business center in Brussels. Met with strong demand, Dixon quickly developed a global network of fully equipped, furnished and staffed business center places to work that businesses could use on terms that met their unique needs. Today, more than half of the Fortune 500, along with thousands of small- and medium-sized companies, are outsourcing some part of their office requirements to Regus. As a result, companies have reduced their facility costs, increased employee productivity, and are more focused on their core business.
