We checked in with Deb to learn first-hand what sharing a co-working space is like. “My favourite part is the little community. I’ve made so many new friends since working from the Hub and I have some great brainstorming sessions with other people, even though we work in different fields”.
Highlands Hub offers private and shared offices, hot desks, meeting & training rooms, and a cosy community coworking lounge with options to join us for an hour, a day, a week, a month or longer.
