Coworking just got easier
By Rosie Sherry • Jun 2nd, 2008 • Category: Business, Features, Lead Story
The Werks coworking and creative space opened up their doors six months ago with a commitment to become an open local community. With the space specifically designed for freelancers, indepedents and small businesses they understand the needs of freelancers and small businesses are usually anything but consistent.
The first few months have been a success. The 6,000 sq ft of The Werks is getting close to full capacity. A big part of this, we believe, is down to the open (not free) nature of coworking - every Friday has been Open Coworking Friday. This means that anyone can turn up, plug into the wifi and use the space. Along with the ethos comes respect, contribution and collaboration.
Fridays have been getting really busy, so now every day of the week is the new Friday! This means Open Coworking is every day. Come along to The Werks. Use the space. Meet some cool people. In return, you contribute (£5-£10 or the equivalent in love), respect the space and the people, collaborate and expect to support people like they will support you.
It’s all pretty human nature and normal social stuff. Come along, anytime during ‘normal office hours’.
