It’s Not All Hoodies and Beers!

Based at UWE Bristol’s Frenchay Campus, Future Space opened its doors in August 2016 and has a mix of office space, lab space and workshops, as well as event and meeting room space.When researching this article, I was interested to know what SME businesses look for when choosing their business premises? I came across a lot of articles but the top 5 things to consider when choosing office space were location, price, size of office, infrastructure and style of office.. However, if you are a SME business could one of your top 5 considerations be business support/networking, access to research and collaboration.

As a business based at Future Space this will give you access to in-house business support and networking with likeminded innovative business. Walk across the hub cafe though a set of double doors and you will be at the heart of a thriving, modern university campus offering a wide range of facilities.

As a customer of Future Space, the university campus offers a wide range of facilities and access for businesses at Future Space. Anything from collaboration to support on research to working out at the gym after a busy day of meetings, or maybe even a pint in the Student Union!

UWE is all about high quality teaching and research, not forgetting the community and business engagement. As you grow your business why not look at recruiting your next role from UWE.
