New Way of Working to Help Beat Credit Crunch
2008-08-20 | Member Content
RICHMONDSHIRE District Council’s flagship business centre is launching a new facility to help hard-pressed businesses cut their costs. Innovate! in Colburn is already designed to offer a managed environment in which businesses can develop and grow. But with many firms facing difficult economic conditions, the Council has opened its first “hot desking suite” at Innovate! to provide affordable office space for small businesses. The new suite provides office space, a telephone and a high-speed wireless internet connection on a daily – or even hourly – basis. Other administrative services such as the use of a photocopier and fax machine are also available. The suite can be booked from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday, at £5 an hour, £20 for a half-day or £35 for a full day. Centre Manager Abi Bromirskyj said: “We know that many small businesses would benefit from a dedicated office facility, but simply cannot afford to pay the associated overheads during the credit crunch. “The hot desking suite is aimed at any business, to help them cut their costs but still give them a professional image and the best quality business services. “Businesses can pay for as much or as little time as they need, whether you work on the road and need somewhere to check your email, or work from home and want to expand into professional office accommodation without committing to a long-term tenancy.” For further details contact the Centre Manager on T 01748 831900 or E a.bromirskyj@innovate-colburn.co.uk
