How did you get into coworking?

I was keen to work in a business which combined two of my interests: hospitality and technology. I also wanted to work in a sector that was growing and had structural tailwinds. I joined Techspace in 2017 as it had all of those characteristics.

 

 

What strategies do you believe are most effective for differentiating a coworking brand in today’s competitive market?

Understanding the difference between commoditised or easily copied features and products & services that are genuinely unique and desirable to the segment of customers you are targeting.

 

What are you most looking forward to at GCUC London?

Meeting other operators.

 

Join us at GCUC UK in London on Thursday, 10 October, to share and collaborate on making this industry continue its authentic and real growth.

We are the community builders, innovators, and differentiators in the market. We can’t stop now.
