00:00 There are co-working spaces around the rest of Kent

00:02 and it's a very popular thing these days,

00:04 especially since the pandemic and the lockdown

00:09 and people were sent to work at home.

00:11 So we've got a lot more people working at home now

00:14 and what they call remote workers

00:16 and also small businesses, sole traders,

00:19 people that can't afford a full-blown office.

00:22 So co-working is about providing a flexible space

00:26 for people to work in that isn't their back bedroom

00:29 or their kitchen table.

00:30 That doesn't stop you working at home if you want to,

00:33 but it gives you a break.

00:34 So the whole idea behind co-working

00:37 is you can use this as little or as much as you want.

00:40 You can come in just for one day

00:42 or you could use it five days a week or anything in between,

00:46 but you're also not locked into it.

00:48 So you could use it five days, one week

00:51 and not come back for three weeks and then use it one day.

00:54 So it's incredibly flexible.

00:56 The benefits of co-working,

00:58 especially now with the high cost of energy,

01:00 is it's cheaper to work here and get warm with our energy

01:05 than it is to heat your own home.

01:07 Of course, we have high-speed broadband.

01:11 We have a fiber optic link here with 200 megabit uncontested.

01:14 So broadband is incredibly efficient

01:18 and it's also a nice environment to work.

01:20 There's an eatery on site, a public coffee shop,

01:24 and you get a discount if you're a member here,

01:27 but there's other like-minded people to work with

01:29 should you want to share experiences.
