Your October update from the Growth Hub Network

With our incredible network now standing at six locations, we wanted to bring your a monthly round-up of the breaking news from each Hub. It will include news of events, memberships, incubation offices to rent, new team members and the latest updates to help your business to grow.

Cirencester Growth Hub

A workspace haven

Working from home comes with many benefits but it can also be a challenge – particularly during school holidays! This October half-term, why not come join our hub? Our thriving, welcoming community of business owners are enjoying our brilliant coffee, spacious workspace and beautiful location at Cirencester Growth Hub.

With most businesses and leaders now adopting a hybrid approach to working, our co-working space is the ideal base. With a variety of flexible memberships and co-working options to suit all requirements, we’d love to see you and your business benefit from our innovative, collaborative space.

All our private offices are currently full, but if you would like to add your name to our waiting list, please email cirencester@thegrowthhub.biz.
