Bristol Property Awards 2022 Showguide

WELCOME

THE BRISTOL PROPERTY AWARDS ARE HERE

Business starts with a conversation. And each year the hubbub of conversation at the Bristol Property Awards attests to the vibrancy of this sector – and the amount of business that is done here, partnerships that are forged and the sheer interconnectedness of this sector.

Property matters. And it matters more in Bristol than in most other places.

It matters professionally and personally – how we live, how we work and experience Bristol daily, and how exactly we navigate the city from our base.

It matters practically – where our companies are based, what retail and office space there is, how the city houses and encourages clever expanding enterprises and how working from home affects all.

And it matters aesthetically. We are all the beneficiaries of extraordinary creativity that has bequeathed a visual legacy that enriches all our lives, daily.

It is for all those reasons and more that the Bristol Property Awards are returning to champion the best of property business and to help bring the sector together.

When all contribute and all come together, all benefit.

With all the clever companies here, all the energy, all the opportunities, we hope you enjoy the day and benefit from the Bristol Property Awards.

And we hope good contacts and great businesses comes from it. Business starts with a conversation? OK, let the hubbub commence… #BristolTogether – always

Registered office address: Elm Tree Farm Estate, Sheepway, Portbury, Bristol BS20 7TF.

Square Works offers the only high-end serviced offices and co-working space within a private members’ club in Bristol – and it’s about to expand next door into 19 Berkeley Square. Head of Community Kevin Vowles explains what makes Square Works such a popular (and unique) workspace.

“Since we opened in 2019, we’ve been growing at an astonishing rate. In the last twelve months, the Square Works community has almost doubled to 700 members, so we’ve had to expand to meet demand.

“There’ll be more office spaces, more meeting rooms, more hot-desking facilities – and there’ll also be a brand-new fitness suite. We’re really excited about what this new expansion will add to the Bristol co-working and workspace market.”

What’s so special about this latest expansion?

The building is stunning: lots of natural light, greenery and an environment that is both professional and personal. We can’t wait for people to see it. Our team have done a fabulous job restoring its features – from intricate cornicing to original fireplaces, it’s definitely going to be one of Bristol’s most beautiful places to work. It really has to be seen to be believed, so we’d definitely recommend people come and take a tour.

MORE THAN A WORKSPACE

Dog friendly and ‘free prosecco’... book office space at SQUARE WORKS and you’ll be longing for Mondays to come around...

What’s the background to the building?

19 Berkeley Square is a beautiful Grade-II Georgian town house, and our team have done a great job restoring it to its former glory. We are so excited to bring a piece of Clifton’s history back to life – especially since the building has such a rich story. According to records, it was a private residence for years before becoming the home of the YWCA, the site of the American Red Cross Service Club and then the office of the Ministry of Labour and National Service.

What’s your favourite feature?

It has to be the cupola skylight at the top of the building. It’s original and we’ve restored it back to the Georgian style. It lets in so much light which just floods through the building down the sweeping staircases.

What makes Square Works unique to the Bristol co-working market?

We’re the only workspace within a private members’ club in Bristol. Membership includes full access to The Square Club with its restaurant, cocktail bar and network of 700 members.

There’s also an extensive events calendar, with something on almost every night, ranging from comedy nights to yoga sessions.

We’re proud to call ourselves the luxury option in the co-working scene, with high-end perks included such as restaurant food from

The Square Club delivered directly to the desk, free prosecco, baked treats and other goodies. Square Works membership also includes benefits such as special reduced rates on rooms at the Berkeley Square Hotel and Berkeley Suites.

Community is at the heart of what we do –many people remark on the atmosphere and how we provide the highest levels of service with friendliness rather than formality. We have monthly members’ lunches and breakfasts to facilitate networking, and our regular members’ parties are legendary! We’re also committed to supporting the wider community and have bi-annual charity weeks to raise funds for local charities through a whole host of fun events.

Thanks to our location at the top of Park Street, we are well situated for easy access to the rest of the city, making us a great central meeting hub.

This will be our last expansion and the last chance to join our community. There are only a handful of offices left - for more information or to enquire about a tour, please contact us at hello@squareworksbristol.com. n
