This post from The Kiln sums up the importance of supporting local businesses.
When you choose a locally owned workspace such as The Kiln, Oak House Workspace or Kingsway House over a multinational chain you’re doing more than just booking a meeting room or hiring a desk. You’re helping keep money in Worcester, supporting people who live and work here, and investing in spaces built to benefit the whole business community.
We started these places because we care about our city, our county, and the businesses that call it home. Every time you choose local, you’re strengthening the network we all rely on, and keeping Worcester’s business community vibrant.
Kingsway House, Oak House Workspace St Johns, and all the other locally owned workspaces might be competitors of ours, but we see them as friends too as they are part of the business ecosystem we operate within and so their success feels like success for us too!
In short, we totally understand if The Kiln doesn’t work for you, but if you are going to choose a different workspace, make sure you choose local!
