Loft Cat made the papers! 🙌🏻
Or the 21st century version.
NEW CO-WORKING SPACE LAUNCHES ON OLD ROAD
The official launch event for Whaley Bridge CoWorkers took place yesterday, giving the public the opportunity to view the space and meet its organisers.
The ribbon was cut (with a flourish) by Rev Frances Eccleston.
Work desks, which can be hired on a long or short-term basis, even for as briefly as a few hours, are located in the front room of the premises (formerly occupied by Guild Hair and Beauty at 8 Old Road). A galley kitchen is to the rear, for brewing up and preparing/storing food and drink.
The surroundings are well lit and pleasantly decorated, with quirky colourful prints from local artist Amy at Loft Cat Design on the walls, which are painted in restful colours; conducive to concentration and creativity.
Free drinks and cakes were provided to visitors on the day, with the latter baked by Donna Rainbow.
The community-minded owners of the venture are actively encouraging their clients to visit independent businesses near to the centrally-located venue during their work sessions, in order to benefit the local economy; making suggestions for food and drink outlets and useful businesses such as Pear Tree Print on the high street.
The space opens for business on 09 December. Please see Whaley Bridge CoWorkers page for updates and details of signing up for a desk.
