Toby Sinclair

Lately, I’ve been hating working from home.

Every day feels the same - grey skies, cold cabin, and:

The creeping temptation to crawl back under the duvet and hibernate.

So I’ve started exploring a few co-working spaces.

And my favourite so far?

Fraser House Hub, Lancaster.

It’s not the:
- free coffee
- beautiful building
- affordable pricing

(though all three help).

It’s the people.

Especially Rory Southworth and Kathleen (Kay) Parker

Who somehow manage to make every visitor feel like an old friend coming home.

And as a bonus, it's full of tech companies.

So it’s easy to bump into brilliant people like Will Faithfull over coffee.

Shame it’s just too far to be there every day.

🏡 Anyone else struggling to work from home?

😴 Any tips to stay motivated?
