Sheffield Works

There are some lovely buildings in Sheffield, many of them 'works'. Space Works is based in Harland Works, next to Clifton Works, behind Portland Works and adjacent to Stag Works. Th eone above is not near us, but it is such a lovely name and sign.

When we opened Space Works we felt we were building on the tradition of offering a rented place to work for independent small businesses, just like the almost extinct Little Mesters. It works well and we are developing plans to develop what we offer, so that when you work in our Works you feel like you are part of something bigger. The economic climate is tough and we all need a range of support to help our businesses survive/thrive. So events and workshops that are fun and useful will be were we will be foucsing, making use of the newly rejuvenated cafe euro.

We'll keep you up to date with plans/ideas here and on Twitter @spaceworkssheff

Great offer for mugs ...

We tend to go for the soft sell here at Spaceworks. Yes, we talk about a friendly shared office space ideal for part time self-employed people looking to escape their bedroom. And yes, we talk about flexible deals, someone to go with the pub with, wireless, printer and so on.

But, we realise we have not been making enough of the ongoing offer we have for all new sharers. Well here it is, the secret is out!Every new sharers gets their own FREE mug with the initial letter of their first name on it and their coffee and tea requirement.

The second bit is very useful when you offer to make tea for everyone and don't have to remember who has black, white, sugar etc. But, the initial bit is the nice thing. When we opened we went around Sheffield taking pictures of all the 'works' signs in the city. Like the lovely Beehive Works or Eyewitness Works. The letters from the mugs are taken from those pictures and every new client gets to pick their letter. The shot above shows a quite nice 'A'.

So sign up today and get a new mug! We'll even put a drink in it now and then too ...
