Great2Work opens New Business Lounge
New business lounge aims to boost business growth in the area.
Great2Work hosted a successful launch event on Tuesday 15th November 2022 to unveil their new Business Lounge at their coworking space in Chesterfield. The event was well-attended with local businesses expressing their delight at the Business Lounge: “It is a great addition to the area, there isn’t a facility like this in the town” and “the meeting rooms and training suite are just what I need”.
The new Business Lounge at Hayfield House (on Devonshire Street, off Holywell Street) is thought to be the first of its kind in the area.
The event heard speakers including Dom Stevens of Destination Chesterfield who highlighted the investment plans for Chesterfield, Andy Ball CEO of Great2 defined the ethos behind Great2, the new Business Lounge and why he is so passionate about helping local businesses to grow. Front of House, Hannah Finney revealed how memberships and bookings operate at Great2Work.
There was also an opportunity for our guests to network with the other local businesses attending the event over a drink and nibbles as well as a tour of the coworking space and meeting rooms. The lucky winners of our raffle prizes included John Batty of Paperclip who won the Casa Hotel B&B voucher, Paul Chapman from S40 Local who won a free Great2Work Business Lounge membership for 1 month and Mike Jones from the HQ who won a free Great2Work Day Pass for our coworking office in Chesterfield.
The Business Lounge was developed to attract freelancers, micro and small businesses to the town centre. Giving them a comfortable place to go for informal meetings with colleagues or clients and a place to work from in between meetings. With a monthly membership of £50 and no tie-ins, you can come and go as you please (no need to book). WiFi is included and there’s an ‘honesty box’ for refreshments.
Steve Wicks, Corporate Banking Manager, Handelsbanken, Chesterfield said of the event:
“Great to see the new Business Lounge. It’s an impressive facility and a great addition to Chesterfield’s offering for quality office/working space.”
Andy Ball, CEO of Great2 commented:
“My vision for Great2 is to become the 'go-to' partner for local businesses who want to grow sustainably and make a difference. Our new business lounge is a first for Chesterfield and our aim is to give local businesspeople a professional, flexible and comfortable place to work from – keeping businesses in the town and using town centre facilities. The business lounge alongside our coworking space and business support services allows Great2 to provide a full suite of tools to help local businesses grow.”
