We’re redefining the meaning of Business Centres and it all started here at our brick built warehouse

This is the bit nobody puts on Instagram.

Not the finished cake — the sheet of greaseproof where you pipe the same shell forty times over and
the first fifteen come out wonky. You can see it happening in the picture. The rows get tidier as
they go across.

That's what a class at the Secret Cake Kitchen actually is. Gill doesn't hand you a finished cake,
she hands you a piping bag and lets you get it wrong until your hand learns the movement.

There's a Buttercream Succulents class on Thursday 22 October, and a Halloween cupcake class for
children over half term.

The cakes on her page are beautiful. This is the photograph that explains how they happen.

In aesthetics, everybody spends the money on the machine. Emma had the towels embroidered.

It's a small thing, and it tells you a lot. Twenty-five years into the job, the part she chose to
fuss over is the part that actually touches you — the towel, the mirror, how the room feels when you
sit down in it.

Brows, skin and facial aesthetics, from a studio on Syren Street. Every appointment starts with a
consultation.

Nobody has ever opened these.

Two steamer trunks at the end of our corridor. Union Jacks on every side, brass fittings, a scuff on
the bottom one and a green mark nobody can account for. A trunk is for taking something somewhere.

Most of the people who walk past them turned up here with an idea and took a room. A few of them now
ship worldwide from this postcode.

Intention, then invention. We didn't choose those words for nothing.

They make the same set twice, in two sizes, on purpose.

Blanca Sport is children's athleisure, and matching is half of what they do — sibling sets, and matching pieces for mums and daughters.

Twenty-nine thousand people follow them on Instagram and the clothes ship internationally. The brand
runs out of a studio on Syren Street in Kirkdale, and there's a new season landing on the nineteenth.

Of everything in this building, this is the one you're most likely to already own without knowing
where it came from.

There are about a dozen clocks on this wall and no two of them agree.

We didn't do it on purpose, and we've never got round to fixing it. Further along the same stretch
there's a sign saying you're never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream, which reads
differently once you've walked past eleven wrong times to reach it.

There's an old bellows camera up there as well, a split-flap departure board, and a fan that doesn't
turn.

We could've painted it magnolia and put a noticeboard up. We didn't fancy that.

She moved into this building in April. By October she had a product line shipping internationally.

Lydia Fox is a Korean lash lift specialist and brow technician. The lift works with your own lashes
rather than gluing extensions on top — one appointment, and then weeks of leaving it alone.

Somewhere in those six months she decided the shields on the market weren't good enough and made her
own range. She uses them on clients now, choosing the curl to suit the eye shape rather than giving
everyone the same one.

Six months. Some people take six months to get the sign up.

This was shot about four minutes from where you're reading it.

Social & Co is a content agency with nearly fifteen thousand followers on Instagram, and their studio
is in our building. Most people who know the studio don't realise the agency is the bigger half of the
business.

The idea is straightforward. You book a session, and you come away with a month of content ready to go
rather than a camera roll you'll never get round to editing.

Businesses travel to Kirkdale for this. Our residents walk down the corridor.

This is what non-surgical hair replacement actually looks like. A chair, a comb and a pair of
clippers.

No theatre, no anaesthetic, no recovery time. Someone cuts your hair and you walk back out about an
hour later.

King of Kwiffs have four sites — Essex, Manchester, Leeds and this one. Callum and Corey Morris run
it, every system is built around the individual client rather than picked off a shelf, and they run
an accredited training academy alongside the clinics.

They also supply systems to other salons, so some of the chairs this work ends up in aren't theirs.

Nineteen thousand people follow them on Instagram. The Liverpool chair is on Syren Street.

Every one of these posts finishes with "message us for availability and a look round", and it's occurred to us that we've never actually explained what that involves. So here it is.

You message us. We agree a time that suits you. You come down and walk the building — the corridors, whichever studios happen to be free, and past the doors of the people already working here. It takes about twenty minutes, longer if you want it to.

Nobody follows you round with a clipboard. There's no form to fill in beforehand, no budget conversation you have to be ready for, and you don't need to have decided anything at all. A good number of people who come for a look round are six months away from doing anything about it, and that is genuinely fine. It's a look round. That's the whole point of it.

And if you want to know what it's actually like to work here, ask the residents rather than us. We'd honestly rather you did — they'll give you a straighter answer than any landlord would.

Most photographers study photography. Leon studied that and then went and did a **Master's in Digital Marketing** on top of it.

Which sounds like an odd detour, right up until you're the one paying for the photographs.

A photographer who only knows cameras will hand you technically excellent images and leave you to work out what to do with them. Understanding why a headshot works on LinkedIn but falls apart as a website banner, why a business needs a coherent set rather than one good portrait, what a photograph is actually being asked to do before anybody sets a light up — that's a separate skill, and it's usually the one that decides whether the pictures do any work or just sit in a folder.

The other degree is a BA in Digital Imaging and Photography, so the craft half is covered too. Over a decade photographing weddings, plus headshots, personal branding, commercial and event work, from a Liverpool studio and on location across the UK.
