All about Meraki

We often get asked what Meraki means. A lot of people, naturally assume it is a Maori word. But in fact it is a Greek word which does not have a one word translation. It means something along the lines of: “to do everything with passion and love, to leave a piece of yourself behind in the the work you do”.

When Emma and I were looking for a name for our coworking space we were creating in 2016 and we stumbled across this little gem, we instantly knew it was it. We 100% identified with the meaning of the word as it really put into words how we thought about our life and work and we wanted to attract members who thought the same.

I came to Cambridge back in 2014 and shortly after became involved in the business community and the Business Chamber as I was building and growing my first online business. Since early on there was this chatter about “someone needs to do this”, “Cambridge needs this” etc. In 2016 I was ready to give in to the calling. I was driving down the main street and it just became so clear. I knew I NEEDED to do this. So I rang my friend Emma and talked her through it and she was hooked too. Shortly after we were joined by our third friend Rachel who came along with her accounting expertise and a third opinion, too.

Cambridge is a small place and back in 2016 had even less office for lease space than what it has now. We ended up signing a lease at 32 Victoria Street and after a Summer full of dust, scrubbing and painting we opened the doors to Meraki Workspace on the 1st February 2017.

Over the last couple of years it has been amazing to meet so many different people, whether as permanent desk members, hotdesking members or casual visitors. As boardroom space users, as workshop and meeting attendees or suppliers.

We love being able to provide this functional and inspiring space to the local business community of Cambridge and beyond. It is very important to us to also be able to offer this space to the wider community to have a space to hold their workshops and meetings, that’s both user friendly and affordable. We also offer our space FOC to some not-for-profit organisations.

Our people are in business to make an impact, to follow their heart and their passion. They join Meraki for the space but also for the community. They are lonely at home, they want to increase their productivity, they want to connect with likeminded people while also having the professional edge it gives them to have an office rather than “just” working from home.

We are working really hard to make this space work for everyone. We always try to accommodate our members’ needs. We really want this space to feel like their own and always encourage our members to make it that, too.

We are passionate about enabling people to do business and work in the town they live in. I want to bring the metropolitan concept of coworking to the regions of New Zealand, to the places where people wouldn’t necessarily expect it.

We help businesses flourish!
