A SPACE TO
THRIVE
New workspace at Hartlepool centre is a hot topic
The hot desks , smaller offices and shared areas for networking now available at UKSE ’ s Innovation Centre in Hartlepool are attracting new tenants to the flagship centre .
The Tata Steel business support subsidiary invested a six-figure sum into the recently completed refurbishment project at the multi-million-pound centre , one of two UKSE centres on Teesside .
“ Working patterns are changing a lot with demand growing for smaller workspaces and flexibility in the amount of time people spend in the office ,” said UKSE regional manager Sarah Thorpe .
“ We wanted to provide hot desks and smaller offices to suit the new hybrid ways of working , as well as some areas where tenants could easily get together to exchange ideas , network or just relax with a coffee .
“ When you are starting up or growing a young business , the support from others doing the same can prove invaluable and tenants in both our centres have helped to create friendly business communities .”
Around 50 businesses are based in the Hartlepool Innovation Centre , operating in many different sectors from healthcare , law and design to construction , software and engineering .
Some tenants have also benefitted from financial investment from UKSE , including Hartlepool Cable Services .
The company , set up just last year , has secured a five-figure unsecured loan to help it expand . All tenants enjoy a range of facilities , from a serviced reception desk , highspeed broadband and meeting rooms to ample free parking , 24-hour access and an on-site gym .
Offices cost from as little as £ 50 per week with no long leases and there is a UKSE team on-site for support .
“ The team is enjoying showing people around the new facilities as well as seeing everyone make full use of the new shared areas ,” added Sarah .
