Flexible working network expands into Leicester
Dispace, a network of venues which says it will unite co-workers with available spaces, is set to expand into Leicester.
Dispace, which launches in the city on 8 October at The Exchange on Rutland Street in Leicester, says it will create a remote working revolution that isn’t wedded to the “tired 9-5 office culture” but will be “an entirely flexible solution that co-exists much better with people’s lives and the power of technology”.
Dispace is launching at The Cross Keys in Nottingham this week, and will roll-out in Leicester on 8October at The Exchange on Rutland Street.
Ross Cox, founder of Dispace, said: “Workforces have changed: corporations have more remote workers than ever and the uptake of online communication and collaboration tools has allowed more people to follow the dream of being their own boss. Over 50% of the working population is expected to be self-employed in the next five years but we all know that working from home isn’t always the best option.
“Dispace connects the remote worker with the critical assets they need to succeed: facilities, people and resources. The great thing is that we are also helping to drive footfall and open up new opportunities for venues across the city which is a massive opportunity given the challenges the high street faces.”
Jon Davison, owner at The Exchange , said: “Leicester has been crying out for something like Dispace and we’re incredibly proud to be their launch partner in Leicester. We’re really looking forward to providing remote workers with the opportunity to get a fresh perspective away from the office or their home.
“What we didn’t have before Dispace was a network of potential customers who know we are open for business if they want to come in and work here. Dispace will also open us up to a whole new level of clientele. It’s a win/win situation.”
With Leicester and Nottingham venues open and Birmingham following within the month, Dispace’s phase two roll-out during winter 2018 will include: Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Edinburgh, Bristol, Brighton and Sheffield.
