Entrepreneurs needed for Lewisham's new enterprise hubs

Ladywell's pop-up community will house one of the enterprise hubs

Lewisham Council is currently looking for entrepreneurs to take up residence in new enterprise hubs in Catford, Deptford and Ladywell, which will open in October this year. They say:

"The enterprise hubs will create high quality, fully furnished and serviced work spaces in Catford, Deptford and Ladywell town centres, designed to promote the growth of start-ups, entrepreneurs and existing businesses, primarily working in the creative, digital and social enterprise sectors.

"Over the past twelve months we have been working with Tom Fleming Creative Consultancy and Studio Tilt to carry out in-depth feasibility studies to establish the business case and initial design for the hubs within three council-owned buildings.

"The largest of these hubs will be the Catford hub which will be situated on the 4th and 5th floors of the former Town Hall building in Catford. The two smaller centres will be in central Lewisham on the ground floor of the former Ladywell Leisure Centre (pictured) and in Deptford which will be sited within the Deptford Lounge.

"All three hubs will provide affordable and flexible work spaces for rent, creating a new vibrancy and buzz for enterprise in the heart of Lewisham’s main town centres. They will also be a major component to our overall strategic aim that by 2023 'Lewisham will be one of the fastest growing parts of the London economy'.

"The hubs will be managed by a single workspace provider using a single brand (details of whom will be announced later in the year). Local entrepreneurs and businesses will be able to access space, services and facilities across the network."
