IF you use a coffee shop as your office and want something a little less haphazard, have a look at this new hot desk scheme at The Offices on Deansgate.
They've set up a business centre in their base in the grade II-listed Barton Arcade. It offers hot desks for no more than you'd spend on lattes and cakes if you were to settle in Starbucks for a few hours.
It's an elegant environment that you'll enjoy working in. And at the moment they're offering a week's free trial – need more details of how this trial works.
You don't need to book ahead – once you've registered you can just arrive and work. And you'll find it's a more productive working environment than a cafe or your kitchen table.
It's a quiet, professional environment where you can get on with your work without worrying about wi-fi signals, power supplies and whether you can make your coffee last until you finish that report. There's secure, fast internet plus a connection to a high-tech printer, and if you need it, admin support, direct dial telephone lines, and meeting rooms.
The hot desks at The Offices are in a thriving social enterprise business centre. For freelancers or home-workers, a few days in here a week is a way to get out of the house, network with like-minded people, and focus – without the distractions of your home life.
It could be a better solution than renting an office space. There's no investment or capital expenditure required, and you aren't tied into a contract.
The hot desks can be used daily, weekly or monthly making it a very flexible workspace that fits around your diary.
Prices are £9.99 a day, £46 a week, and £160 a month for a hot desk with broadband internet connection. There's a one-off registration fee of £49.99.
