Co-working is the next big thing and THECUBE in London are at the forefront of this emerging trend – something that is deemed as a new pattern for working.

Many work-at-home professionals, freelancers or people who travel around a lot tend to work in relative isolation.

‘Co-working’ is a social gathering of a group of people, who are still working independently, but who share the same values and who are ‘interested in the synergy that can happen from working with talented people in the same space’.

Of course, the term ‘Co-working’ was first coined by Bernie DeKoven in 1999 and was later described as a ‘physical space’ by Brad Neuberg in 2005. Neuberg started up his own co-working site called the “Hat Factory” in San Francisco.

Now, five years later, co-working spaces are opening up across the globe, offering hot-desking space for people who want to get away from that feeling of isolation and any distractions that freelancers and small businesses might face while working from home.

THECUBE on Commercial Street, East London is one such co-working environment that goes above and beyond simple hot-desking or ‘rent-a-desk’ space. It provides a whole range of benefits and added extras to really help its members. It also offers a diverse community that individuals can tap into whenever they see fit, sharing ideas and supporting each other to grow and become a success.

Co-working is an exciting development and something that we expect to become huge over the next 10 years. If you’d like to see how ‘Co-working’ can work for you, simply pop in for a chat or give us a call on 0207 377 9279.
