The first is our personal experience of working from a home office and shared offices, and the challenges that come with it, as well as Jill’s experience as a training consultant and the variety of work environments she encountered over the years:

• Home offices can be a challenge on the rest of the family who have to agree to “office” rules.

• The feeling of never leaving the office

• An isolated office can be lonely!

• Being in an office environment can be refreshing and if you meet like-minded people in similar circumstances, the networking and inspiration opportunities grow.

• Meeting venues can be expensive and a coffee shop sometimes isn't appropriate for confidential issues

• Travel time to work is often an issue when your head office is several traffic jams or even a flight away

The second factor was to realise we were by no means unique and there was indeed quite demand for a space like The Corner Office.

• We can provide a variety of work solutions, from a private space, to a desk in an open-plan office, whether you want your own desk or just a desk now and then.

• We can offer a meeting room for confidential meetings and more casual options for those smaller powwows.

• In every scenario the environment is friendly, professional and has the amenities you would want in an office. This without the outlay in the cost of setting one up for yourself.
