A year after opening in a renovated 19th century church, Ministry of Work is on a waiting list for private offices – but has launched a professional work club. Benefits include access to the space’s communal areas, events and vetted community for growth-focussed founders.

Eddie Whittingham shares how when he started building the Ministry of Work, a competitor came by and belittled them.

Glad to hear that the space is now almost full and that the comments didn’t dissuade a company builder from launching a community-focussed space.

Karen Tait reshared Eddie Whittingham’s coworking-story so far. In short it includes being a police officer for almost a decade, qualifying as a lawyer, realizing he hated it, starting a cyber-security firm, experiencing a coworking space, selling that business, buying an 1891 chapel in Salford (near Manchester) and building a local coworking community from within their walls.
