What is Co-working?
Co-Working is nothing new. It’s been happening for centuries; people working alongside each other, as colleagues, giving each other support, encouragement and ideas.
Co-Working has now adopted a new meaning for people who usually work alone, or run their business from home.
Through co-working you can make new business connections while you work, gain new business knowledge (it’s a great way to find out the things you didn’t know you didn’t know!), and receive motivation or support for that burning ambition or brand new idea.

Getting involved in Co-working doesn’t mean giving up working from home. Although permanent Co-working space is now available, you can also benefit from Co-working on an occasional basis, whenever you could do with a change of scene.

Co-working Spaces
Co-working space is another name for collaborative workspace. As well as access to everything you need to get working (desk, chair, wifi and usually coffee) you should also be able to connect with other people and businesses while you work (usually with help from the space manager). Space on Tap is working with providers of space to increase the number of Co-working spaces in the North East.
Discover Co-working Spaces through the Perfect Places Directory
If you have space that’s sitting empty, and you think it has the potential to be transformed into a Co-working Space, please get in touch – we’d love to help.
