A recognised business address carries weight. It looks established. It tells people you are local and permanent, which is much harder to do with a PO Box or a residential street address.

Coffee shops are fine for a quick catch-up, but they are a nightmare for signing contracts or pitching to a new client. When you need to get face-to-face, you can book a boardroom or meeting space here. It puts you in a controlled, professional environment where you can actually hear each other—and where the coffee is just as good.

"Such a great place to work. The team are genuine and happy to help. It's a driven work environment with like-minded people who encourage and support each other. I've had networking opportunities across different industries & thankfully it feels very natural and not forced."

"I've been working from the Crate for more than 3 years now and I simply love it. A great place to meet new people, be focused and work together with colleagues. I other words; the perfect reason to not work from home."
