5 reasons to try co-working

Co-working offers the ultimate in flexible working and has rapidly gained in popularity in recent years, so if you’re a home-based business owner, freelancer or mobile worker, or if your idea of a workspace is your kitchen table or your local coffee shop you should give it a try.

1. Beat the isolation

Working alone at home can often make you feel lonely and demotivated, but getting out of the house and meeting people in the same situation as you can get you out of your rut.  You will also be invited to take part in our networking & seminar events, so you can make new contacts that could help your business to grow.

2. A professional place to hold meetings

Not everyone wants to invite clients into their home, and arranging to meet at a coffee shop can seem unprofessional. By using our co-working space you can meet your clients in a more business-like, but still relaxed setting, and if you need to hold a more formal meeting you can hire a meeting room within the business centre at a 25% discount on normal rates.

3. Work flexibly

You don’t need to worry about trying to find a convenient space in a cafe or not being able to fit your work around your family’s routine at home. With 24/7 access you can work from a dedicated desk whenever you want, without the expense of renting an entire office.

4. Free refreshments and parking

If you’re using a coffee shop to work in, the cost of all the drinks soon adds up. We have an on-site café where you can buy food and drink if you want to, but we also offer you the use of our kitchen facilities with access to free tea and coffee. There is also free parking to help you keep your costs down.

5. Free high speed internet access and telephone calls

Being able to get online when you need to is really important and a slow and unreliable connection can spell disaster for your business. We include free high speed broadband as part of our co-working package. We also include telephony, with a dedicated local number and all telephone calls at local/national rates included, subject to a “fair use” policy.
