A dedicated desk is for someone that values the security of having their own desk, chair, and filing cabinet, but they don’t mind sharing that office space with 3-4 other like-minded professionals.
For entrepreneurs that want to be a part of a coworking community without necessarily being out in the open, and who don’t want to leave their desk rental to chance, they might find that renting a dedicated desk is their best option. The beauty of our coworking at West Quay Offices in all its shapes and forms is that it’s extremely flexible and offerings are designed with you in mind.
It’s like regular coworking, with a little more structure and routine. You get to work with the same handful of professionals from day-to-day and work at the same desk, and you can lock up all your necessities, so they are ready and waiting each day. Dedicated desks are great for individual entrepreneurs that want to feel a sense of consistency in their day but aren’t concerned about having a private office all to themselves.
When a workstation at a coworking space is allocated to a single user – normally rented on a monthly basis so that personal belongings and computers can be left behind overnight.
Either temporary or permanent your dedicated desk awaits you
We would like to take a moment to answer some of the most common questions.

With a Hot Desk, you can work at any of the tables or booths in our common space and it is first come first served while you will always find your spot anyway. A Dedicated Desk membership is a specific desk that is yours, and you can set it up with your own monitor, computer if desired. Dedicated Desks are in one of our Private Offices shared by other members.

There are many easy ways to book a meeting room:
You can absolutely bring clients in for a meeting, we do ask that you book a meeting room if you plan on meeting longer than 30 minutes.
You need to register your visitor on our portal or mobile application so we can notify you when they arrive and also know that he/she is your guest. This is a simple or impressive process for your visitors too.
Or they can do when they arrive on tablet kiosk in reception.
Sometimes these meetings can be hot and distract others around you if you are in common areas.
So we ask you do do these meetings in your Private Office if you have one OR if you don’t want to do it in there and if you are a Coworking Member, please book our “Small Meeting Room” for this. Small meeting room is very cheap compared to large one and you have many meeting dollars in your account that will expire each month. This way, we can keep everyone happy.
