Daisy, 21, said while she liked her office-based job “at the time”, she found it expensive paying more than £60 a week on travel from her home in Essex to London.
“The biggest difference I’ve noticed is just the work-life balance. I feel like there’s so much more flexibility.”
Daisy now walks her dog on her lunch break and says no commute means she does not miss out on family time.
“I also just enjoy my work much more when I know that my life also comes around that as well,” she added.
For Eleanor Cotton, 24, a split between office and home is part of the job.
She works as a marketing executive in Manchester and her company shares its office with two other businesses, meaning that Eleanor – who has a two hour commute from Birmingham – and her co-workers can only go into the office twice a week.
