2-Work Selected to Operate Co-Working Space Planned for Former Burtons Chambers
2-Work have been identified to operate the flexible co-working office space that will open in Burtons Chambers once renovation works are complete.
2-Work currently provide flexible, tailored workspace in locations across the north of England, including Leeds and Wakefield. They believe that whether businesses are growing startups or established enterprises, they should have the opportunity to access a working environment that encourages community and collaboration, and aim to provide a platform for businesses to thrive.
Headed up by Co-Directors Gal Leslie & Janthea Griffin, who have a combined 35 years in the industry, 2-Work brings a wealth of experience and innovative ideas, and will aim to ensure the new space successfully incorporates the needs of small businesses, entrepreneurs, and freelancers. 2-Work will also develop and launch the operational model, manage memberships, recruit the new team who will run the space, lead marketing, and develop plans to attract and retain users, members, and partners.
Gal Leslie said:
“We are thrilled to have been selected as the operator for Burtons Chambers. Our goal is to create a modern, collaborative environment that fosters innovation, entrepreneurship, and community growth. Together, we will build a space where individuals and businesses can thrive, connect, and contribute to Accrington’s community.”
Janthea Griffin said:
“As our plans come together we’re looking forward to sharing information about how local businesses and business people can find out more about our plans for Accrington and the workspace that will be available in this fantastic heritage building.”
2-Work were selected following a procurement process led by CBRE, on behalf of Hyndburn Borough Council, who want to thank CBRE for their support, as well as the bidders – including 2-Work – who participated for their interest in Accrington.
