Good morning and thank you for the invite @RoRemote to this webinar this week which we are really looking forward to. To give some background on us. We are two sisters Barbara Nolan and myself CarolAnn Hickey who come from a commercial property background mainly based in Malahide in Dublin, Ireland. In August 2019 we setup a co-working office space in one of our units called M-Space Malahide. It holds 19 people and its has top floor panoramic sea views over the water so it is a truly lovely space to work, We were consistently at 50% capacity when Covid19 hit.
Once that hit all our members retreated home & we shut down. Slowly our members are returning this month and we have some new members trying it out. But like everyone its a hard time as we all have to start again and re-invent ourselves. But we are trying really hard to get our name out to our contacts, locals and many companies that are allowing staff to work remotely, whether part time or full time. So we are collaborating with many others to “build our network” and taking it day by day.
We are finding that people are trying to see what their company will give them to allow them to work in a co-working space so they don’t have to pay for it themselves. We are also finding that startups are very cautious to spend money on workspace when they can do it at home.
So both Barbara and I are really looking forward to the webinar tomorrow and the invaluable information we will get from like minded professionals in our area of business.
