Our Values
“There’s always going to be a place for offices, as many of us find it difficult working from home – as humans, we need to interact with one another. It brings social value and keeps local businesses alive.”
Hugh & Ian Hudson
Founders of Affordable Workplace CIC
How we can help
Inspired by the local community spirit catalysed by the onset of COVID and lockdown, we decided to utilise any empty space in our building by offering discounted rates for ethical businesses doing fantastic things.
Our goal is to bridge the gap between the “haves and the have-nots”, providing space and assistance to people who have great ideas but can’t readily access the infrastructure needed to support them. We believe this model could transform the fates of countless businesses if rolled out across the world.
We’re building urban and business communities by knitting them more closely together, utilising our generous space here in Clerkenwell.
