What members say about the building.
From the people at the desks. Filter by who’s talking and the wall rearranges.
We moved a six-person practice in on a Monday. By Thursday we’d run a client workshop in the Bindery, and nobody had to ask where anything was.
★★★★★Harriet MensahDirector, Calder & Pike ArchitectsThe Quiet Floor is properly quiet. I’ve written two annual reports up there and taken no calls at all.
★★★★★Grace AdeyemiFreelance copywriterWe started on two hot desks and moved into a four-person office in March. Same building, same coffee, one month’s notice.
★★★★★Tom AshworthCTO, FettleThe front desk signs for our deliveries, which matters when it’s forty boxes of tins on a Tuesday morning.
★★★★★Priya RavalOperations lead, Aire Valley Food NetworkA print studio in an old print works. Half of us cycle in from Headingley, so the bike store and the showers sold it.
★★★★★Beth HollinsCo-founder, Halfpenny PressThe kitchen gets crowded at half twelve. Everything else just works, including booking a room from my phone on the bus.
★★★★☆Callum ReidFounder, Quarrybank DataDay passes got me through tax season. I switched to a fixed desk in February and kept the same window.
★★★★★Ravi ChauhanFreelance accountantThursday lunch is how we found our last two clients. Both of them work two floors up.
