Following the opening of the new Café @ Hartham Park, a co-working hub is to be launched this summer, encouraging start-ups and those working from home to leave their bedrooms behind and work in the new purposely designed space. The Georgian Manor will be home to a variety of workspaces, from casual and bookable hot desking to flexible office space, providing all the benefits that you would expect from a business environment in 2017, with a high-speed WiFi connection, break-out meeting room areas and access to an online business community, all set in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside. Hot desking is available from £20 a day and includes tea and coffee, WiFi, parking, access to the members lounge and to a new business club set up for members. Access to the co-working hub will be available Monday to Friday from 8am-6pm and an onsite café is available serving an all-day menu, using locally sourced ingredients, with some even produced on the estate. Hartham Park business manager Jane Wright said:“The co-working hub will be a great addition to our existing offering. Hartham Park has long been home to some highly inspirational, more established businesses. Our new offering is the missing piece in the jigsaw puzzle, allowing start-ups and those working from home a great space to work and grow their business. Hartham Park is a great location for those needing a temporary base, as it’s in close proximity to Bath and the M4 corridor. The added bonus is being surrounded by such beautiful countryside, giving you time to reflect and the space to think.” To find out more about Hartham Park’s new offering call Jane Wright on 01249 700 000 or email [email protected] For more info: www.harthampark.com @harthampark THE BUSINESS EXCHANGE 2017 5
