Founder of The Residence Coworking, with two spaces, one in Hertfordshire and one in Essex.
After a successful career in Investment Banking in the City of London, I ventured into being a freelancer and I *accidentally* found myself opening a coworking space to fill the void I felt after leaving the office and my colleagues.
Working at home can be lonely, all consuming and boring (speaking from experience here). Whilst commuting into a city office or coworking space not close to home, is expensive, tiring and a waste of time! The problem is that a lot of these spaces just don’t exist in rural areas and freelancers, SME’s and commuting corporates are left stranded.
Times are changing and it’s great to be part of the movement and be in this industry ❤️
