What changes and what stays the same? 💛

This week, my son leaves home to start university in Edinburgh.

It’s one of those milestones you know is coming for years, but somehow that doesn’t quite prepare you for how it feels when it actually arrives. I’m incredibly proud of him and excited about everything ahead, but there’s a real mixture of emotions too.

It’s also made me realise how much life has changed since we first opened almost 15 years ago. My children were very young then and, in many ways, the business grew up alongside our family.

Now, at 49, I find myself thinking differently about work, time and energy, and about what I want the next stage of life to look like. I certainly don’t have all the answers, but perhaps I don’t need to.

Because amongst all that change, I’ve also been thinking about the things that haven’t changed, the importance of people, relationships, connection, feeling that you belong somewhere and being able to do meaningful work without it taking over everything else that matters.

Maybe periods of change aren’t only about deciding what comes next. Maybe they’re also an opportunity to notice what you want to make sure comes with you.

I’ve written a little more about this in my latest article, What Changes And What Stays The Same?

It’s probably one of the more personal things I’ve written for a while. 💛

A little bit of birthday cake at The Hub yesterday for a birthday that’s actually today. 🎂💛
We celebrated John at , with a few of our Margaret Street members joining us for cake and a chat.

John and the team only joined us in May, but it’s lovely how quickly they’ve settled in and become part of our Hub community.

Everyone has their own work, their own business and their own busy day going on, but every now and again there’s a reason to step away from the desk for ten minutes and come together.

Yesterday, cake was a very good reason. 😊
Happy Birthday John! We hope you have a brilliant day today. 🎉

"Why Didn't We Do This Sooner?" 🌿

We had a member say something this week that's really stuck with us.

They moved in about six weeks ago, after downsizing from their own building and the feeling across their whole team has been why didn't we do this sooner. Turns out, once you stop having to manage the space, the bills, and all the compliance that goes with your own building, there's a lot more headspace left for the work that actually matters.

They mentioned the small things too like the coffee, the plants, the rooftop garden on a sunny day, us sorting the Wi-Fi speeds before they'd even moved a box in. But the bit that meant the most was this: they said it feels less like an office and more like a family.

That's always been the whole point, really. Not an add-on, not a feature just the reason this place exists.

If you're thinking about your own move, come say hello. We'd love to show you around 💬

Today we’re cheering on a very special challenge.

Oliver, the son of our co founders Suzanne & Patrick, is taking on all 12 peaks of the Mourne Mountains today, followed by a triathlon next weekend, to raise money for .

Back in 2023, Oliver was involved in a serious mountain biking accident in the Mournes. Air Ambulance NI, alongside the Mountain Rescue team and the incredible medical staff, helped get him safely to the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast. Thankfully, he made a great recovery.

3 years later, he’s returning to those same mountains - not because he has to, but because he wants to give something back to the service that helped save his life.

If you’d like to support Oliver and help Air Ambulance NI continue providing this lifesaving service across Northern Ireland, we’d be so grateful if you could donate or share his fundraiser.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference.

❤️ Thank you for your support.

Room to Think 🌿

We've been thinking about what actually changes when a team moves into the right space.

It's rarely the desks. It's the quiet. It's not fighting for a meeting room, or having somewhere to step outside for five minutes when your head needs a break.

That's what's on our mind with the first floor at Blackbird, over at Abbey Yard. It's a lovely big open space with its own front door and kitchenette, plus a couple of smaller rooms for calls or quieter work. There's parking right outside, a small garden to escape to, and the whole place sits behind its own gate - calm, settled, and very much its own little world.

We've seen so many teams grow out of their old setup, not because anything went wrong, but simply because they grew. If that sounds like where you're at, we'd love to show you around before it's gone. September isn't far off.

If you’d asked me back in 2012 what I was trying to create when we opened The Hub, I don’t think I’d have said “a community.”

Back then, coworking wasn’t widely understood, particularly outside the bigger cities. We simply believed there were local businesses looking for a different way to work, and beyond that we were finding our way.

It wasn’t until we opened Abbey Yard in 2016, and later Margaret Street in 2018, that I realised how much my own thinking had changed.

By then I’d spent years talking to our members, visiting coworking spaces across Europe, learning from operators who generously shared their experiences and bringing those ideas back to Newry. Gradually, I stopped thinking so much about offices and started thinking much more about people.

Over the years I’ve watched businesses arrive with nothing more than an idea and a desk, then gradually grow into offices, employ more people and become part of our local business community. I’ve seen collaborations begin over coffee, friendships develop and members quietly support one another through both the highs and the challenges of running a business.

Looking back, that’s been the greatest return on every investment we’ve made. Not because of the buildings themselves, but because of the people they’ve brought together and the relationships, confidence and opportunities that have grown within them.

Community isn’t something you can draw on a floorplan.

You can design a beautiful building, but you can’t design trust, kindness or belonging.

Community isn’t something you design once. It’s something you keep nurturing. 💛

What makes a workplace feel like a genuine community to you?

One of the things we love most about coworking is seeing businesses evolve.

What’s interesting is that the businesses that stay with us the longest rarely stay in the same space.

Some start with a dedicated desk while they’re getting established.

A little later, they need their first office.

Then the team grows, another desk is added and suddenly they’re looking for something larger.

Sometimes the opposite happens too. Businesses change direction, embrace hybrid working or simply need something different than they did a few years ago.

That’s why we’ve always believed that workspace should be able to adapt alongside the people using it.

Because growth isn’t always a straight line, and neither is the way we work.

💛

How has your way of working changed over the last few years?

Ask ten people what makes a workspace work for them and you’ll probably get ten different answers. 💛

For some, it’s privacy and somewhere they can focus without interruption.
For others, it’s community, conversation and knowing there’s someone nearby to bounce ideas off.

Some value flexibility.
Others need routine.

For many, it’s the little things that make the biggest difference - natural light, outdoor space, a shorter commute, a friendly welcome or simply having somewhere that feels comfortable and supportive.

Perhaps that’s why there’s no such thing as a perfect workspace.

The best spaces are the ones that understand what people need and adapt accordingly.

I’m curious…

The older I get, the more I realise that the things which leave the biggest impression are rarely the obvious ones.

When I think back to the places I’ve enjoyed working most, I honestly can’t remember the colour of the walls, the furniture or the technology they used. What I do remember is how I was welcomed, how I was treated, whether somebody noticed when I was having a difficult day and, perhaps most importantly, whether I felt I belonged.

It’s something that’s been on my mind while we’ve been making changes at The Hub over the past few months. People naturally notice the finished spaces, and I’m always grateful when they do, but I’ve realised the things I’m proudest of aren’t really the things you can see. They’re the conversations that shaped those changes long before the decorating started.

That reflection inspired me to write my latest article, Design Won’t Replace Care.

It isn’t really about office design. It’s about why I believe listening, relationships and genuine care will always matter, no matter how much technology changes around us.

If you have a few minutes over the weekend, I’d love you to have a read.

And I’d love to hear your thoughts…

When you think about the places you’ve enjoyed working most, what made them memorable?

I've noticed it’s often the small things that mean more to our members when they’re settling into a new workspace.

Not the size of the office or the speed of the broadband.....

💭 A quieter corner for a Teams call.
💭 Natural light on a rainy morning.
💭 A familiar face to say hello to.
💭 Outside spaces to unwind and grab a coffee
💭 Healthy snacks when they've forgotten theirs
💭Somewhere to leave their laptop at the end of the day instead of packing everything up and starting again tomorrow.

None of these things sound particularly remarkable on their own.

But after 14 years of running The Hub Newry, I’ve learned that they’re often the things people remember.

The little details that help people feel more settled, focused and comfortable in their working day.

One of the reasons we’ve continued to evolve our spaces over the years is because work changes. People’s needs change. What helped someone do their best work five years ago might not be what they need today.

Good design matters.
Comfortable furniture matters.
Reliable technology matters.
But design won’t replace care.

The best workspaces are built by listening, paying attention and understanding what people need to do their best work. 💛

What’s one small thing that makes your working day easier?
