    We like to think so. But the truth is each business has their own circumstances where coworking may be a worthwhile investment or not. If you work remotely or are looking for an alternative workspace you may be questioning how your environment affects your productivity. For some, the flexibility to work in sweat pants or do laundry between calls is great, however it has its drawbacks. It may be mundane, and bouncing ideas off your dog might not work. For others in a small to medium-sized team it may be impractical to rent an entire office and fit it out yourself. Luckily we take flexible working at face value and can accommodate customization depending on your preferences — usually. If you’re ready to consider different options for your workspace, a strong possibility could be in West Quay Offices.

    Many. The overhead costs of a fully equipped office are taken care of, superior fit out with premium sit-stand desks and chairs for use, flexibility to scale your business up or down, robust health and safety policy and an established company culture.

  • Is a coworking space just a more exclusive coffee shop?

    Unless your local coffee shop offers private meeting rooms, private offices, phone booths and an extensive list of business amenities, the answer is categorically no. Replace noisy patrons, shaky tables, and tiny chairs with comfortable seating selections, printing services, mailboxes, whiteboards, and environments designed to enhance productivity. And not to worry, you won’t experience a caffeine shortage in West Quay Offices. Our workplace offer a complimentary full-service onsite Coffee Bar with everything you’ll need to stay fueled and focused throughout the work day.
