A new hub has been launched in Blantyre to give people a space to work from.
The weekly co-working space has been opened in Blantyre by community enterprise project E3.
Local people and independent business owners are invited to attend the hub to work, as opposed to working from home.
The new space aims to help address loneliness amongst those who normally work from home and to grow a strong network of like-minded people within South Lanarkshire.
The hub is fully equipped for working with free Wi-Fi access, tea and coffee desk space and an accessible ramp for entry to the building. There are also laptops for communal use.
The first co-working day was held last month, and following its success, it will continue to be held on different weekdays until at least the end of June.
Jack Getty, South Lanarkshire E3 digital manager, said: “I was so pleased to see such a great turnout at our co-working event in Blantyre.
“Learning about all the local businesses is what I enjoy most about my job and hearing it face to face is so important for this project. A highlight for me was seeing everyone interact with each other to share common experiences on their journey so far.”
At each co-working day, there will be members of the E3 team at the hub to offer free business support as well as digital and marketing support.
Laura Mills, economic development officer for South Lanarkshire Council, said: “The Economic Development Team at South Lanarkshire Council are delighted to support the E3 co-working days.
“It is a great opportunity for us to meet with local businesses and discuss the support we can offer them along with our partner organisations.
“It also offers great networking opportunities and we encourage local businesses to get involved.”
