Coworking Contractors

Contracting can be a lonely occupation, working alone at home or spending hours commuting back and forth to the current client’s office. But the growth of coworking spaces right across the country is providing an alternative solution and one which suits the contractor market very well.

Coworking offers all the advantages of working in an office, being alongside likeminded people, while allowing you to operate on your own. A desk space, access to meeting rooms, and private areas for client updates and calls means you can be at your most productive, free from the distractions of home or the noise and bustle of a coffee shop.  Free wifi and great coffee also means you can stay connected right through the day!

The benefits go beyond simply getting out of the house or cutting the commute. The mix of resident businesses, hotdeskers and freelancers gives ample opportunity to  grow personal and business networks, share and get feedback and be part of a local community. And working close to home rather than at home draws a clear line between work and leisure, bringing discipline back in to the daily routine.

Using coworking spaces is cost effective too with hourly charging and flexible monthly memberships, meaning they can be used as often or as little as is practical. Replacing a long commute one or two days a week or getting away from the home office now and again to meet and be with other contractors.

So don’t get stuck at the kitchen table or ignore interesting briefs because of a long commute to the client’s office, try your hand at coworking and experience a more productive way living and working.
