Samespace is Hexham’s only dedicated Coworking space, the only one between Newcastle and Carlisle! If you’re not sure what Coworking is, it’s a flexible shared workspace for remote or self-employed workers.
Many people who now work from home are finding that the novelty wears off after a while. Being in the same building all of the time, losing part of your home to your job and struggling to maintain a work/life boundary. Also it can become very lonely – bad for your physical and mental health.
Samespace brings the benefits of an office including hotdesking, meeting rooms, WiFi, refreshments and human contact, but without the high rents and bills for a building you might not need all of the time. We also offer ‘virtual business’ services: hotdesking, meeting rooms, business address, local telephone number and post handling.
Join Samespace to put a good walk between your work and home life! We offer a range of flexible pricing, and you can try it for a single day!

Why We Joined...
Having moved to Hexham recently to set up a new office and not knowing the area that well, I have found TBN members supportive, friendly and helpful.
The group didn’t try and hard sell anything to me and if you’re a small independent business, or work remotely for a larger company, I really recommend coming along and trying it out.

The reason I go to TBN is because not only have I made some great business contacts that have helped my business grow I have also received ongoing personal and professional support.
