What is a “Hot Desk” and do you offer a “Hot Desk” facility ?

We certainly do and it is one of the most popular options for people starting out in business.  A “Hot Desk” is a desk in a shared office facility.  You just bring in your laptop and mobile phone and you are ready to do business.  There are no lengthy agreements to be signed, our arrangement just goes from month to month “it’s entirely flexible” because that’s key when you are starting out in business.  You’ll benefit from all our other services too like access to meeting rooms, broadband, kitchen facilities and car parking  “and the best bit is they’re all free of charge”
