A middle way between your business suit and your PJs!
SINCE lockdown, office life has become a fading memory for many workers.
But The Atkins Building, in Hinckley, hopes to offer a middle way between poring over your laptop in your dressing gown and the more formal routines of office life.
The Victorian hosiery factory turned business centre is launching a flexible work space solution, offering work space at a daily rate starting at £23 plus VAT.
Organisers say it is ideally suited for a freelancer waiting for Wi-Fi installation at home; a home worker who occasionally needs an office; a start-up business wanting to work in a more professional environment, or a worker needing a change of scene.
A desk is available to book in half-day and full-day options.
According to business centre officer Rebecca Wilbur, the benefits of using the co-working facility at The Atkins Building include improved work-life balance; increased productivity and creativity and networking opportunities. It can also combat loneliness and isolation.
Ms Wilbur said: “Atkins Building’s co-working space is a warm and welcoming open plan office that’s designed to accommodate people
