Why a co-working space is SO much different to home working

Many people are choosing to switch to co-working spaces. Why?

We’ve all been there. Trying to work from home with next door shouting, pets barking and a postman knocking on the door in the middle of an important meeting.

It’s not viable for the long run and is going to lead you to start resenting your home too. Fortunately, there is a better way that means you get to stop loathing work and loving home again.

By using a co-working space, you say goodbye to these problems. And hello to a much better working environment.

No more isolated working

There are plenty of reasons to consider ditching the home office for a co-working space. For starters, it can be quite isolating to work from home. It’s easy to get cabin fever when you’re stuck inside all day, and only having the dog to talk to isn’t ideal. It also makes the after-work conversations a bit of an adjustment, when you realise you can’t plie your friends with dog treats.

But really, working around other people is hugely beneficial and is one of the reasons some workers miss the office environment. Being able to take short breaks and communicate with people is important for your workflow.

You want it, we’ve got it

Another big advantage of co-working spaces is that they offer amenities that you might not have at home. No, not just a quiet, focused environment – but a lot more.

For example, our co-working space has fast, secure Wi-Fi, great tea and coffee and a private meeting space for when you need it. This is comparable to what you’ll benefit from at normal offices – adding a sense of normality to your work life, even if you’re a freelancer or working remotely.

Pricing that doesn’t break the bank

Many private offices will end up costing you an arm and a leg. With rising energy costs and inflation, many people aren’t in the position to invest in a private office just for themselves.

That’s where co-working really comes into its own. You can get the best of both worlds with our permanent or hot desk set up, and all of our members are fully respectful of each other’s privacy and workflow.

Without needing an entire office, you’ll benefit from reduced costs whilst keeping all of the essential features you’d expect from an office set-up.
