Creating Space for Better Work — by Katie Whitcombe, Community Manager at The HIVE

Most businesses know that no matter how great their product or service is, competition is always evolving—faster, smarter, and often more cost-effective. Staying ahead means constantly improving and innovating, but that’s not easy when your time is taken up managing everything else that comes with running a business.

One thing I see time and time again—especially from running my own business—is how much energy goes into the day-to-day running of an office. I’ve been there myself, so I really understand where our customers are at. It’s important work, but it’s not what drives your business forward. That’s where a shared workspace can step in—taking that load off so you can focus on what you do best and your bigger goals.

This is where I come in. My role is to keep everything running seamlessly behind the scenes. From welcoming new members and managing onboarding, to handling health and safety, meeting rooms, supplies, cleaning, and building maintenance—it’s all taken care of. Even the small things, like a stocked kitchen and a coffee machine that is ready to go.

It means our members can walk in, get set up, and get straight into their day—without the extra mental load.

Getting started is quick and easy. Head to our website to check out pricing and availability, find a space that fits, and I’ll take care of the rest. Need to move fast? No problem—we can often have you set up and working within the week.

I’ll work with you to find the right space, keep things flexible, and make the whole process seamless. No stress, no wasted time—just a simple move so you can get back to focusing on your business.

Because at the end of the day, your time is better spent growing your business—not managing an office. If you’re ready to simplify the way you work, I’m here to help make it happen.
