Regular events and networking opportunities will take place both on-site and at the other centres.

A spokesperson for Wrkspace said: “If you’ve ever visited the beautiful Old Docks House then you’ll know that Wrkspace has high standards. The 1930s art-deco masterpiece was lovingly restored to its former glory. Opened in October 2018 this beautiful building is now a bustling centre and the office suites are full to capacity.
