A platform set up during the covid pandemic to help remote workers find space in Birmingham to use and collaborate with other people has signed a deal with a hotel chain.
Work From Here has agreed a deal with the Penta group which covers all of its six hotels across the UK including in Holloway Head in the city centre.
The online booking platform was set up by marketing specialist Jo Seabright and Birmingham businessman Tim Andrews in 2021 and aims to connect remote workers and freelancers with venues which can rent out desk space.
Since its launch, Work From Here has struck deals with well-known venues in Birmingham and Solihull such as retailer Loki Wine, Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery and Solihull Moors and Birmingham City football clubs.
Ms Seabright said: "Birmingham has led the charge for a complete culture change in how we work. The idea for Work From Here was born out of the pandemic.
"I wanted to work somewhere different and be assured of expectations upfront but nothing existed like this so we set it up.
"Fast-forward and the need for Work From Here grows and we're delighted to be expanding the concept nationwide."
Susana Balint, regional director of UK sales with Penta Hotel, said: "We're proud to be the first organisation to help Work From Here expand outside Birmingham.
"It's really important to us that all our hotels reflect the neighbourhood and communities they are part of and this exciting partnership will allow us to build even more connections with the people that are local to us."
