Perhaps somewhere along your coworking journey, you decided to try other options and hit pause on your membership. Here’s why coworking spaces deserve a second chance and why you might just find yourself wondering why you left. 

For many of our members, the flexibility of coworking is what initially made them attractive and sustained them as the ideal long-term workspace. Whether you need a single hotdesking space a couple of days per week or a full private office space for your team, Clockwise locations offer a variety of workspaces to suit all needs. The hassle-free memberships can be scaled and adjusted in line with your evolving requirements. And with 24/7 access, your perfect working environment is waiting for you, whenever you like to work. Whatever space you need, you will benefit from inspiring design and top-tier amenities that were once only available through expensive office leases requiring long-term commitments.

Working from home can appear to be the ultimate hassle-free solution, with no commute and the option to stay in pyjamas. However, the added distractions and isolation from others can negatively impact productivity and wellbeing. Conversely, traditional office spaces can help structure your days and distinguish your work and home life, yet lengthy commutes to uninspiring locations can be exhausting, draining creativity and motivation. Coworking spaces can create the ideal balance between structure and freedom. With our thoughtfully designed spaces that emphasise productivity, community, and wellbeing, Clockwise locations can help re-energise and refocus by providing a dedicated environment for your work away from the kitchen table, without committing to a long and costly lease. Our bookable meeting rooms offer an inspiring space with excellent technology to ensure those important face-to-face gatherings proceed smoothly, providing a refreshing alternative to endless video calls with colleagues or clients.

Perhaps the biggest benefit of coworking isn’t the space itself, but the people. Reconnecting with a like minded community of other professionals could bring renewed motivation, fresh ideas and unexpected opportunities. Whether it is through our dedicated portal to help members with networking, one of our carefully curated member events, or simply a casual chat in a breakout space or kitchenette, Clockwise spaces are designed to spark connections and foster collaboration in ways that simply are not possible when working at home. Being surrounded by other supportive and dynamic coworking members can reduce isolation and help to support wellbeing and productivity, as well as a refreshing change of scenery. 

Perhaps you have been missing the flexibility, energy and connections you found working at Clockwise. You’re not alone, as we asked some returning members to tell us why they came back. 

“I left Clockwise to take a sabbatical. When I came back, I tried an alternative space but it didn’t have the same professional yet friendly feel – that’s why I like Clockwise – it’s a great balance of both. Plus I can bring my dachshund Rupert!”

“We left Clockwise as our funding ran out and then we managed to secure Lottery funding, so we returned. We love the vibe here, the facilities, the location, we love Sam and his warmth.”
