Being spaces for mobile warriors | Update

After featuring The Coffee Office on Monday, we were alerted to a very similar concept that was launched in London six weeks ago. The Hubworking Centre (THC) is a business and meeting venue located in the heart of the City of London. Open from 8 am – 8 pm, THC provides flexible working solutions for business people on the move. Membership is free, and gives members access to a lounge with free wifi. For those who’d rather work at a desk, hot desks are available for GBP 5 per hour or GBP35 per day. Members can also use the centre as their business address, with mail forwarded on a daily or weekly basis, for a cost of GBP 25 per month. Telephone answering is available, too (pricing on request). Besides the lounge and hot desks, THC offers small meeting rooms, conference rooms and training rooms, all reasonably priced per hour or per day. Compared to traditional, larger business centres, transparency in pricing and flexibility are definite advantages. Mobile workers everywhere will love this concept, especially if well-designed, welcoming and easily accessible.
