For thousands of workers, the pandemic has upended the traditional office-based nine to five. Now even supermarkets are offering space to people who want to work closer to home.

Tesco has teamed up with IWG Plc, the flexible-office company that owns the Regus and Spaces brands, to convert excess space in a supermarket into a work hub.
