Tenth Edition – August 2025
🧠 Coworking Space – The Power of Consistency
This month, we’re celebrating the small routines that keep things moving:
- The first coffee of the morning
- A quick catch-up in the outside break area
- A walk to the beach during lunch break
If you’ve got ideas, feedback, or even little things that could make the space more comfortable, we’re always open to hearing from you.
🥪 Canteen Update – Back to Basics
With frozen meals officially off the table due to supplier constraints, we’ve simplified. But we’re keeping it satisfying:
- Fresh wraps
- Toasted sandwiches
- Hot drinks to keep your hands warm and your brain awake
We post a weekly menu on our website under canteen menus to keep you updated with the different choice.

💡 2 Interesting Coworking Facts
- Most coworking members say the space gives them structure. That “go to work” feeling boosts motivation — even when it’s 10 degrees outside and your bed looks very inviting.
- Coworking members tend to expand their networks naturally. Just by sharing space, people often discover collaborations, clients, or friends they didn’t expect.
