Andrew Clough, CEO at The Brew, takes us for a walk (or sprint) down memory lane. In short we went from nobody knowing what "coworking" was, to now being backed by billionaires. The timeline he shares is side hustles renting empty desks (2010), major funding takes a sniff (2015), commoditization (2020), COVID, consolidation begins (2024), and then notes that a 5x market growth has been projected by 2034.

Andrew’s key takeaway shared? "Stay adaptive. The biggest opportunities come from constant change."

We’d double down on that with a small addition. "Stay adaptive, stay informed. TWIC.co IYKYK".

Justina Cruickshank shares news from Andrew Clough and Jamie Hopkins that The Brew are planning to triple their London flex space footprint.

Note: Unfortunately the original link was email-gated, so I swapped it to a related story that notes that Jamie Hopkins, the former CEO of Workspace Group plc, had joined The Brew’s board to advise them on scale-up strategy, business optimization, asset acquisition and financial performance.
