INSPIRING WORKSPACES
NEWQUAY OFFERS AN EXEMPLARY RANGE OF CREATIVE WORKSPACES.
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. 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.
“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.
CORNWALL.UK
THE G7 BROUGHT CORNWALL TO A WORLDWIDE AUDIENCE. BUT AS WITH THE ANNUAL EXODUS OF OUR SUMMER VISITORS, THE RISK IS THAT CORNWALL WILL ONCE AGAIN JUST BECOME A VAGUE MEMORY OF WONDERFUL BEACHES AND GREAT HOSPITALITY TO SO MANY.
FIND OUT MORE ABOUT CORNWALL AND THE G7 LEGACY: CORNWALL.UK
Like this magazine, cornwall.uk aims to change all that! Cornwall isn’t just a once-a-year (or even a once-in-a-lifetime) place to visit. It is also a place of heritage, innovation, ambition, culture and so much more. The site does not compete with all the existing, and often excellent, Cornish content already available. Instead, it acts as a central portal, carrying interesting features and stories, but also signposting more in-depth content created and maintained elsewhere. It will also be the repository of the G7 legacy, and all the stories of Cornish innovation and excellence pulled together for this event will continue to have a worldwide audience through the site.
It is the brainchild of the Cornwall Place Board, which brings together people who care about the future of Cornwall and who wish to actively promote the Duchy as a great place to live and work. It is an independent not-for-profit organisation which acts as a guardian of the Cornwall brand and place story. With the support of Cornish businesses, organisations and Cornwall Council, it has created cornwall.uk to help improve the Duchy’s economic outlook through attracting inward investment and creating well-paid jobs, whilst also sharing interesting facts that showcase the distinctive heritage and special character of Cornwall as a place to live and work.
Content on the website includes Business, Community, Culture & Creativity, Education, Environment, Food & Drink, Stay & Enjoy and Quick Facts, as well as links to news content and a growing list of content partners.
James Staughton OBE DL is chair of the Cornwall Place Board, and, together with a growing band of influential Cornophiles, is tirelessly promoting the Cornish agenda. As well as cornwall.uk, this includes an ambitious “Ambassador” programme, open to one and all. The only stipulation to participate is that Ambassadors actively promote the interests of the Duchy in return for joining a global Cornish network, access to content and invitations to events. Details of the scheme, which aims to recruit a “Trelawny’s Army” of 20,000 people from around the globe is on the website.
