PPP2 / BUILDING A COMPANY.
MEETING ONE.
Melissa put a price list together for equipment we would need to start up our business.
The price of this included Mac computers at £18,000.
However Without Mac computers - bringing our own mac computers this would reduce the cost to £6000.
Out of the office spaces I presented to the group, The favourite was Tower works, based within Granary wharf, within a community of 19 other creative businesses and close to the offices of graphic design companies such as Elmwood and Numeco. To further this I will contact tower works and try and find out prices for rental. We decided against the idea of buying as a start out company, as many of the outright buying places were in residential rather than commercial areas, and we felt this reduced the professionalism.
Danielle has been looking into how to make our business different to the others, by creating different days/events as special days or incentives for the company. For example, Krispy Kremes at monday meetings.
Ant has found our name which we are going to call Sublime, This idea was lent by our colour scheme which is lime and white (Combined with wood for interiors). We have decided collectively to go away and all come up with logo designs and come back to reconvene and decide.

CHOSEN PRINTERS.
I have chosen Pavilion promotional as the printers in which we will go to, to print most of our projects as they print a wide range of collateral. I looked at a few different print studios however many of them printed large or small format but not both. However Pavilion print, prints anything from business cards and leaflets to large scale environmental design. The printers is also only 2 miles from the studio I picked at Tower works meaning that we could easily get to the printers in case of any situation.
PP2: Group company / Presentation - Office space in Leeds.
TASK ONE.
OFFICE SPACE IN LEEDS.
The first task I was assigned in the group was to look for an office space in which we could base our company. I focused my search within the up and coming creative areas of Leeds, where other creative companies have settled such as photographers, artists and other design agencies such as the likes of Elmwood. As Leeds is an up and coming creative city, the spaces designed for creative practice are mostly quite small with offices built for housing 1-20 people, a good size for a start up company like ourselves.

Tower Works provides a good range of offices suitable for companies employing between 1-20 people. Choose from the smaller refurbished offices created within the original listed building, some of which have their own front doors, and the larger spaces in the sensitively designed new build element. Tower Works is now full but we have space available in neighbouring developments, please contact us for further information.
Train
Tower Works is only an 8 minute walk to the Leeds railway station, making it an ideal location for commuting. Just walk along the Leeds Liverpool Canal and through Granary Wharf to Neville Street and you’re there. In 2014, the new iconic South Entrance to the train station is due to open – you’ll then be three minutes away from national rail connections.

OFFICE SPACE FIVE.
DUKE STUDIOS/ LEEDS.
RENTAL.
Has a partnership with Leeds college of art:
The College has formed a unique partnership with Duke Studios, a creative co-working space in the heart of the unofficial cultural quarter in Leeds.
Our studio space provides a nurturing environment for recent graduates to establish their own businesses. This space is primarily suited to screen-based ‘clean’ activities such as digital media and design, but the College is planning to expand its portfolio of incubation units to support business activity and practice related to our full range of degree programmes.
But it’s not just an office. Duke Studios is a place where the two most incompatible of human elements – productivity and creativity – collide. This office-cum-studio boasts a mezze of facilities that will satisfy even the hungriest of artistic appetites, including vinyl and laser cutting, a photographic studio and a fully-equipped workshop.
From a business perspective, Duke Studios’ appeal is simple: the opportunity for networking is limitless. Co-workers will be able to gain work they never even knew existed, be that from passing work between each other within the studio or using their collective power to win contracts that couldn’t have been achieved single handed. Duke Studios will also act as an agency, actively seeking to find new business for the talent within its walls.
Budget Friendly:
The tiered membership scheme means that people can choose the solution which is best for their budget, but even the most expensive studio rental package is cheaper than renting a small city office.
Duke Studios Offers:
10 Studios Spaces
8 Desk Rentals
Co-Working for 30+
Fully equipped workshop facilities
