life at Charwell House
One of the best things about running one's own company is the freedom. I see many friends and neighbours heading off to the station each morning to face the daily grind up to London. About 3 hours per day out of their lives. Week after week. Year after year.
So, it's a real priviledge to have a 10-minute commute from home to the office at Charwell House. Our move to a fully serviced office was prompted by a couple of things. First of all working from the dining room table was less than practical - especially with a toddler on the loose. Our team had got used to holding meetings in the garden, kitchen, garage....
However, there's no getting away from it - even businesses in their infancy need space and so we started to scout around for an office.
We stumbled across the offices at Charwell House in Alton and luckily within a month a vacancy had cropped up. Cathy and her team couldn't do enough to help us settle in.
There's 30 small businesses based here. So, why not ditch the daily grind up to London, start your own company and become number 31!
Oh, and what did we do with all the space freed up at home? Well, it's just been decorated as a nursery for our son who is due to arrive in a few weeks time.
