Work Hubs for the South Hams
According to extensive research by Devon County Council, there is a demand in the Devon business community for a new form of flexible workspace, or work hub.
The County Council has found that a number of towns in Devon would benefit from a work hub, but that the greatest demand is in Totnes.
Work hubs are a flexible workspace, providing an office space as and when it is needed for businesses and mobile workers, including those who are home based. They typically offer a range of services for businesses including excellent IT connectivity, networking opportunities, and business support services.
South Hams District Council is working in partnership with Devon County Council on the development of a work hub facility for Totnes. The meeting is being held to inform the community, share the research results, and open up a dialogue with local organisations and businesses who may wish to be involved in the development process.
For further information on the work hub project, please contact Carol Trant, South Hams District Council’s Business Support Officer on 01803 861267 or visit www.workhubs.com.

About this report
Devon County Council required advice on the best locations for potential investment in viable, sustainable managed workspace; the nature of managed workspace, to cater for the needs of businesses and to facilitate business support and growth; and the potential for that workspace to accommodate public sector employees and community facilities.
REDC, Vickery Holman, and the Live/Work Network were appointed by Devon County Council in January 2010 to undertake a detailed survey to assess demand for managed workspace in Devon.
