For a more rural feel, there is the new Kowel Gwenen at Newquay Orchard, which claims to be the first of its kind in the UK bringing together a community garden and collaborative office-working environment. The new community building is the brainchild of CEO Luke Berkeley. He said: “The way we work as a society has been changing for a long time now and this has only been accelerated by the coronavirus pandemic. I think bringing together lots of different people with different specialisms, in a space that we have proven can benefit mental health, will be a fascinating reaction to this change in working life. HoHouse specially this past year, many have realised that our workspace is just as important to us as any space – why do we put up with stuffy, uninspiring workspaces? Newquay on the North Coast offers a plethora of creative spaces where you are literally spoilt for choice. Firstly, there is a choice of inspiring co-workspaces, including the home of Crowdfunder – CSpace – a renovated backpacker’s hostel which offers people the chance to “connect, collaborate and create under one roof” and also boasts a production studio, event space and a local produce café and bar. Then there is the HOHouse, which offers a very contemporary industrial look with plywood wall finishes with artwork and houses offices and hot desking as well as a Pilates studio and hair salon. The most recent arrival to the town is four-storey Pentire House which opened earlier this year, another co-workspace which has stunning sea views from its rooftop terrace alongside a yoga/event space, kitchen, and bar on the ground floor.

“The office team here at Newquay Orchard experiences first-hand the benefits that can come from working in a community space like this. Taking that time away from their screen to walk through the Orchard, join a volunteering session or even forage for some herbs to take home for dinner has impacted their ways of working and their mental and physical health and that’s what we want to share with our members of the co-workspace at Kowel Gwenen.” Located at Cornwall Airport Newquay is the Aerohub Enterprise Zone which claims to be the best location in Europe for aerospace businesses, with plots available as well as ready-made office and industrial space. So, Newquay really has got you covered.
