It turns out that loads of people in the blog world feel the same way too. It was quite enlightening to read some of their articles and comments. It made us feel that creating a workhub and a coworking space in the form of FunkBunk was really was the right thing to do.

With FunkBunk becoming a more active coworking WorkHub every day, serving Milton Keynes, Leighton Buzzard and Aylesbury we are learning more about small businesses needs and wanted to offer more flexibility and better pricing to you guys.

So we created FunkMonk, FunkTrunk, FunkChunk & FunkBunker to cater for the ‘homeworker who just needs to get out of the house occasionally’ through to the ’small business that needs a permanent base to develop their enterprise from’.

Check out all the details here!

We will also be adding online payment and booking to our system soon. Watch this space for more info.

We personally think this is great news as work hubs, coworking environments, shared workspaces (or whatever you would like to call them) like ours are the way forward for small business enterprise development in the uk. To find out that we are supporting a low carbon society as well makes us very happy.

The research is being carried out by the Live/Work Network and we shall be watching with interest and getting involved where we can. Improving our service along the way.

For all those FunkBunkers out there, there is a survey you can complete (before the 31st Jan) which will help with their research.

You can find it here.

And more information on the Live / Work Network here.

“The experience of a loss of professional image and credibility is common-place. Frequent episodes of dressing gown days may occur and friends, family and neighbours consistently ask favours as your business is ‘just a hobby’.”
