The first co-working space in the Worcester suburb of St John’s is now open and ready to welcome the city's small business community.

Oak House Workspace is a 2,200 square-foot workspace that offers hot desks, fixed desks, meeting rooms and relaxation areas for business leaders and freelancers keen to raise their productivity.

Over forty of Worcestershire’s entrepreneurs and small business owners joined Director Debbie Farr and the Oak House team at a launch party on July 12.

Representatives from Oak House’s sponsors attended, including Haines Watts, Cloud Shepherd and ISO Quality Services Ltd.

“We’ve had a fantastic welcome from the local business community. Many local small business owners have had a tour or tried our facilities," said Debbie.

"We’re grateful for our growing number of ambassadors who are already recommending us to their networks.”

Naomi Wachner, owner of NW Virtual Assistant, said: “The launch of the Oak House Workspace was an absolute success! I personally loved discovering this gorgeous new workspace, with its soothing and refreshing green colour scheme.

"The space is perfect for business owners like myself who work from home and who enjoy working alongside like-minded business people. I can't wait to possibly make use of the podcast room in the future."
