Co-working comes to Shrewsbury town centre
A company is bringing co-working to the high street with the opening of its first co-working space in Shrewsbury town centre.
Share Space in Mardol is a shared office space for entrepreneurs, satellite workers and start-ups, offering an alternative to home working which has been a must for many owing to the recent lockdowns.
Co-working is also becoming increasingly popular with employers to offer as a benefit to their staff in preference to the daily commute.
Director Kevin Nester said: "Co-working is all about a hybrid, decentralised way of working – going to and from a distant workplace each day can take hours of valuable work or family time and is bad for the environment.
"And working from home or a coffee shop with slow broadband isn’t as effective or as good for work-life balance as one might initially have thought. Contact with others in a shared working environment increases productivity and wellbeing."
Bookings can be made online for either dedicated full-time desks or various flexible packages. The Shrewsbury-based Share Space is the first of many as the company aims to roll the concept out nationally.
