Awesome Mark!
Perhaps we can get a gathering of UK coworking people going at Coworking
Europe. Seems like a lot of folks are popping up from various corners, and
the opportunities for collaboration abound!

Hi Mark, I started a coworking space in Plymouth England - another city
that didn't have a coworking space, nor more than a few people who knew
what it was. I spent over a year, almost two, running pop-up coworking days
(jellies) to introduce the concept to people, went to every networking and
meetup group I could find, and eventually - after joining with another
person - felt confident that we could get a space and make it work. It was
a hard slog, but the space is now running reasonably well, (although I have
now moved on to other things, and still enjoy working there!). Mostly
though, the space has been a catalyst for bringing together like-passioned
people for various community efforts that have been great for the City. We
collaborate with the City Council, the University, and the Arts College,
not to mention all the digital professionals and creatives. It truly has
become a community hub.
Happy to share more of my experiences separately and listen to your ideas.
You are right to look to this group for ideas and feedback - it is a
fantastic group, and a genuine positive spirit which is a joy to find these
days!
I'll ping you off line to continue the discussion,
All best,
Sabrina

really does seem like a good solution doesn't it?!
Sadly, after 7 years together my business partner and I have stopped seeing
eye to eye on a number of details - one of which is around where the
company is located, so alas, moving my existing company isn't on the
table... :( in fact, it's got to the point where me staying at my existing
company isn't really on the table!
I think coworking will become a new venture for me, one that I'm very
excited to be a part of, and to begin with I like the idea of being able to
focus on building a community and a space, without the distractions of
running an agency at the same time and in time, I hope to explore other
options.
No doubt I will be frequenting this forum on countless occasions in the
months and years to come - it certainly seems like an amazing resource and
the feeling of community among operators is unlike anything I've come
across in any industry!

the movement, Mark!
Have you considered getting a larger space that your current agency could
be the anchor tenant of?
There is a ton of precedent for agencies that create "hybrid" spaces that
are part company office, part community space. Each side of the business
helps to support the other.
It's one of the few sustainable models I've found for coworking on a
smaller scale!

Hi all,
I'm new to the group and currently looking at opening a coworking space in
Leicester, UK.
One of the reasons why I'm interested in building a community is to make
connections with developers and other contacts as potential collaborators
in the various entrepreneurial ideas that I have.
Currently I run a traditional design agency which is predominantly print
based and because we're based in a "standard" office at an out of town
office park the opportunities to meet new people and make new contacts are
limited, particularly in the web/app development arena.
As I'm looking at moving on and doing something different in the not too
distant future, coworking looks like a really good fit for me personally
and also professionally, and I was wondering if any other coworking
managers/hosts have any experiences of working with people who operate in
their spaces?
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
Mark
