Our coworking space at Old Broadcasting House has been tipped as one of the top ten coworking spaces in the UK!

Old Broadcasting House coworking space has been recently featured on the national online magazine, Creative Boom, aiming to celebrate, inspire and support the creative industries throughout the UK and the rest of the world! Here is what they had to say about coworking at Old Broadcasting House:

It is home to a community of independent, freelance and nomadic workers - digital entrepreneurs, creatives, technologists, artists, designers, marketers, writers and programmers, all of whom share our core values of collaboration, openness, community and sustainability.

We’re pretty excited to get a mention in July’s Wired magazine in a feature on the office of the future.  Leeds is featured alongside London, New York, and Ibitha!

“The office is dead: make way for the freelance collective workspace. Part-time workers and self-employed may be hustling harder than ever, but at least the new wave of membership clubs lets them bounce ideas around and collaborate with like-minded souls”  The benefits of coworking for freelancers and startups are so attractive that more and more of these spaces are springing up. Things have moved on a pace since we first set up the space at Old Broadcasting House in November 2007. Back then things were very quiet and for a while our founding members Imran Ali, Deb Bassett, Simon Edwards, Richard Garside and Richard Hamer had the place to themselves. Now we have thirty five members and the space is buzzing! New products, such as virtual graffiti tool FriiSpray and Cardboard Laptop Stand have emerged as a result of coworker collaborations.
