Co-working spaces have revolutionisedhowmany people now work offering space to individuals, SMEs and organisations. With capacity for hot desking as well as shared office space or virtual offices, The Racquets Court means that office space can be accessed exactly when its needed. Demand for of spaces like this was clear, even before the pandemic, when the Racquets Court team opened its doors in 2019. As the pandemic eased, the need for the resources that The Racquets Court offers became clearer. The idea for The Racquets Court came from people who needed a co-working space for themselves, an option that was more flexible than the traditional office. The Racquets Court is run by people who understand the importance of designing spaces that are fit for purpose both for the business and for the people who work in it. The Racquets Court is designed to offer a location which impresses colleagues, clients and, in a tight labour market, an attractor for potential employees.

Biophilic elements promote wellbeing and positive mental health, with a small garden and plants cared for by members. Everything is ergonomically designed, where possible, bought locally and chosen with an eye towards sustainability. The Racquets Court is an historic building within which technology and tradition are thoughtfully combined. Every desk has a wired internet connection and is connected to the Stellium Network. There is a Gigabit carrier into the building. There is a standard speed of 200MB (up and down), which can be scaled if required. Co-working has become increasingly the norm and finding ways to facilitate that, appropriately, has become fundamental. With no two business needs being the same, The Racquets Court team has developed packages to support the varied needs of its clients. Everything is wrapped into a single convenient invoice, so there’s no need to worry about setting new contracts or looking for suppliers.
