I am new here, so hi! I am from Hampshire in the UK, and am in the process of planning a coworking space startup. I have been reading through your posts and have found this place to be the most helpful place so far, so thanks! Coworking in the UK is slowly growing, I know it is much bigger in the US than it is here.
Currently near me there is not really a suitable venue for anybody to go to to work apart from Regus who are way too expensive and their terms really aren’t favourable to most (especially not startups), and after research I have decided to actually take the leap and open one myself, I enjoy a challenge and have run many businesses before, so am pretty excited, but as always I want to make sure I do as much research as I can before to ensure I can get it as right as I can first time! So any advice is appreciated!
I need advice on various things, like what to provide members, what events to run to keep the community happy, what everyone has found to be the best memberships/offerings?

Thanks very much for the info, I will spend some time taking a look at it all. It's nice that people have taken so much time to put this stuff together to help others.
You may want to reach out to Tom Lewis @ Cowork Inc (http://www.coworkinc.co.uk). He is located in Bath, UK and is a consultant who runs a few coworking spaces there. He's part of our global, monthly, virtual meet up for cowork managers and would be a great (local-ish) resource to reach out to!
Please let me know if I can support you or help put you in contact with Tom, and be great.
Thanks very much for the info, I will spend some time taking a look at it all, it is nice that the industry is so open and that there is a community amongst the owners as well, many industries keep themselves to themselves. I did reply earlier, but it doesn’t seem to have worked for some reason!

Hey Nick,
Congrats and welcome to the movement!
This forum is rife with valuable conversations to get lost in. I also recommend a few places to start:

Thanks very much, I will definitely try to get in touch very shortly with Tom. He isn’t very far from me at all, so would be nice to speak with him!

I’ve just been reading this thread. How is your plan for a coworking space going?
I’m looking to opening a space in Belfast, N.I. We also have regus here, they seem to be expensive and inflexible in their terms in comparison to what I hope to provide.
I’d be interested to know what the first steps should be in regards to marketing. My space is still months from being ready physically, (still scraping down walls and clearing the space) but I feel like it would be a good time to raise awareness of the idea and interact with potential members. Would facebook be the best way to go about this?
all the best,
Max
