"As a startup with technology that requires hands-on experience for clients to fully understand the capabilities, the central location of the ACS offices are paramount. The offices and technology fit-out provide a professional and high-tech environment to bring clients through, enabling our company to be perceived as an established and proven technology provider - something that is difficult to achieve in many other co-working environments designed for startups."

— Anthony Collins, CEO and Founder, Cruiser Interactive
