Devon’s Work Hub network is continuing to grow across the county with the addition of three more hubs.

Axminster, Ivybridge and Totnes are the latest to join the network, which now has a total of 22 flexible coworking spaces.

The unique aspects of each of these three Hubs reflect emerging trends in the coworking world, providing niche offerings and a heightened focus on community.

Waffle Work, located on Axminster High Street, is a community driven Hub and is free of charge to use. The Hub has on-site tech support and runs a free tech surgery on Tuesday mornings. Its on-site Waffle House café is just a door away for home-made waffles and speciality coffee.

The Tribe in Totnes is the smallest female-only coworking space in Europe. The Tribe prides itself on its community of growth-driven female entrepreneurs. 

The space not only provides users with a stylishly designed work environment but also a wealth of support and the chance to collaborate with other Hub users. Stacey, the founder, is passionate about making business support and development opportunities as accessible as possible to women in business. 

Makers Mews is a space to inspire creatives and makers based in Ivybridge. The space itself is housed in a 300-year-old barn and has been created using recycled materials. Makers Mews drives to maximise sustainability in everything it does. 

Each member has their own workspace to create, design and trade in, and the on-site workshop is expected to be up and running soon to give Hub users a space to teach and share their skills with others.

Councillor Rufus Gilbert, Cabinet Member for Economic Recovery and Skills, said: “Devon’s network of Work Hubs is continuing to go from strength to strength, and the addition of these three hubs is another clear demonstration of that. It’s great for the county’s economic recovery that these fantastic workplaces are being established in even more of our local communities. Small businesses and self-employed can take advantage of convenient access and excellent facilities offered at their nearest Work Hub.”

The Devon Work Hubs website provides information on the choice of offices, workspaces, meeting rooms and solo desks that are available at a variety of convenient locations across the county. For more information visit https://devonworkhubs.co.uk/
