🏌️♀️ What opening one work+golf location taught us…
The team at Clubhouse share some of the lessons learned from launching a golf and workspace hub and Expand 👇 then running and growing it for a year.
Key lessons? Teams > solo desks. Natural light isn’t a nice-to-have. Members want rooms that aren’t just conference rooms. And tap-to-pour beer taps are (probably) a good call in spaces like these. Oh, and more two-person offices.

🦿 Space founder’s recovery leads to a remote operations playbook
Charlie Ward, the founder of London-based Ramen Club detailed how he’s maintaining $15k monthly Expand 👇 revenue and 90% capacity at Ramen Space while recovering from a broken leg at home. He has implemented eight key strategies including hiring an active community member for day-to-day operations, using digital tools to empower their cleaner to order supplies, and offering free event space to drive awareness through social media promotion by event organizers.
The space generates leads through their own monthly @IndieBeers event (6 years running, 80-100 attendees) and focuses on free trial days without credit card requirements, designating Tuesdays as the main community day to reduce decision fatigue. The operation includes a 500-person online community managed through automation tools including a custom Slack plugin called "Cosy," with upcoming collaboration planned with Generalist World. Speedy recovery, Charlie!

🍻 A new spin on the coworking and beer combo
Beer and coworking isn’t new. Heck we even shared a discussion about the combo in a newsletter some Expand 👇 694 days or so ago.
But Industrious’ partnership with female-owned TALEA Beer Co. to produce a limited edition beer called Out Of Office for outside their spaces is new. Adding a custom out-of-office message generator to every can? Also new. A free day pass in every can? Also, also new.
Cheers Jamie Hodari and team. Nicely done!

🐝 Coworking got real, in Manchester
Emilie Lashmar shared a thorough recap of GCUC UK’s last Manchester event, which she co-hosted with Expand 👇 Georgia-Kaye Berry (from Colony).
The recap runs over the data shared by Jordan Saleh (CBRE), Ryan Jans (WeWork), and Tanya Grady (Allied London); what makes a workspace stand out by Nicola Jones (GPE), Lucy Pickavance (Phoenix Resourcing), Ana Bernardo (Work.Life), and Ben Newton (Patch); some indie-vs-big-pocket insights from Lisa Cations (JCR Advisors), Shannon Burke (managed.), Tom Almas (Wizu), Rebekah Lloyd-Beere (Landsec), and Gareth I. Jones (TownSq). Alongside workshops led by Samuel Warren (technologywithin), Manuel Conti (PONT), Claire Carpenter and George Tilbury; Lisa Quait ran the Women in Flex Luncheon. The event was then rounded out with sessions from Nicholas Drew (urbanbubble) and Sammy Dukes (Yardi) on operational intelligence and Pauline Roussel (Coworkies) and Jonathan O’Byrne on community.
Why did we highlight all the speakers above? To elevate the (many new) voices who took the stage in Manchester.
