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.

Tower Works is now full but we have space available in neighbouring developments, please contact us for further information.

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. 

In an ambitious urban regeneration project, the 7000sq ft. space in Munro House overlooking Leeds bus station which used to house Auto Trader’s offices is being transformed into an open plan, design-led haven for creative collaboration.

Why Duke studios is great for first time companies and freelancers:

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
 Hireable Photography Studio
 Photography Services
 Design Studio
 Laser cutting service and hire
