Qworkery | Growing a co-working community

The Qworkers

It’s surprising and inspiring meeting fellow co-workers, hearing their stories and learning more about their jobs. 

We’ve got engineers, IT consultants, artists and translators; a children’s author, a bushcraft leader and a university professor; a management consultant who’s training as a personal trainer and an accountant who’s finishing off a PhD.

Chats around the coffee machine are never dull!
