VWORKS
COWORKING SPACE

I couldn't be happier with my experience at Village Hotel Bristol's co-working space, VWorks. It’s a short journey from my home when compared to commuting to the city so the convenience factor alone is unbeatable and saves me valuable time and money. This also contributes positively to our ESG goals as a business as I’m able to commute to a workplace on foot which wouldn’t be possible if I was working from the city centre.

The value proposition here is perfect; not only do I have access to a well-equipped workspace, but I also get access to the hotel's superb gym facilities, which is a fantastic added bonus for maintaining a healthy work-life balance. The workspace is at capacity most days and with so many regulars there’s a real sense of community growing which is really nice and refreshing when compared to working from home.

Finally, I really cannot fault the team behind VWorks here in Bristol. We see continuous improvement of the workplace based on the feedback we give and they’re always going above and beyond to make it an enjoyable place to work.

I'm a permanent work from home and Oldbury was having a scheduled power outage during a block of time. Not sure what to do I came across v-works and it ticked all the boxes. I worked before lockdown in VFX houses in London and it’s not as glamorous as it sounds so I didn’t need a lot or expect a lot - just a wide desk for the ability to have privacy as I work on NDA material and i good internet connection Came two days prior to check out the facility and a v works event manager showed me around and got back to me later that afternoon about the internet speed On the day I Came around 630 to get choice of desk and I was a bit early but when it hit 7 I was able to get a card and was let in early to set up equipment. Everyone was friendly and helpful for my first time There was chilled water and muffins later in the morning - I did happen to come during a v works appreciation week - so I know this wasn’t the norm By 10am it was quite steady with a lot of people in the pod meeting rooms. Other VWorks people were considerate and no one was too loud or distracting. There was a coffee machine there and it was nice to work in air conditioning during the heatwave of 2022. I ordered lunch with my 25% off food discount and the staff brought it to the work station. The printer did look like it needed a good kick as it said low toner and a document was in the que (and this was 7am) but I didn’t require printing facilities so can’t comment further. It also felt like a secure enough space. Due to the last minute nature I had to bring a rather large tv instead of monitor (I know it raised a few eyebrows but you gotta do what you gotta do) I did later see there were lockers and wish I had asked to see them - but to my surprised a lot of people just left their stuff behind and trusted other v works colleagues I would say if you are in a position like me where you needed another source of power, privacy and internet- this place can do it It’s not frilly and can understand some other grips if you are monthly or yearly members, I only wish I had time to use gym and pool facilities but if I’m ever in a jam again will certainly come back.

With the shift towards a hybrid working environment from the start of the pandemic, I found that Village VWorks Cardiff provides the ideal remote workspace. It’s a light and airy professional working environment that is well served by the facilities it offers – fantastic WiFi connectivity, printing, hot & cold beverages with self contained meeting rooms when discretion or collaboration is needed. The Village Team ensures we are extremely well looked after and are able to fulfil our day to day duties without hindrance.

Hi Leighton,

A big thank you for the members week, it created a really welcoming atmosphere, and provided opportunities to strike up conversations with other members.

Hats off for showcasing the Village offering, and the arrangement – starting with the coffee on Monday and ending with the lunch on Friday.

Kudos also to Katie for handling the execution with gusto, providing great hospitality without feeling the least bit forced.

All the best,

Sam

As a Village gym member on and off since 2007 and now my first 12 months anniversary as a VWorks member, I would just like to add what a great facility it is for us remote workers. Leighton, Kate and Heidi are second to none in the way they look after VWorks and us members. The service is professional, friendly and I honestly could not praise them more. They are all an absolute credit to the organisation along with VWorks. I hope that it continues to go from strength to strength and you have my full support for a bi-weekly members event building on from the success we have seen this week for members week. I know having spoken to fellow VWorks regulars how well received it has been. Keep up the great work team!! #VWorkssharedworkingspace

It had been good to use VWorks office in Coventry. Besides using it as an office, I have had ample time to network with office mates and made some friends and even business. Moreover, I know where to go and stay when I have breaks and holidays in  London.

Even though I have an office in London, I wish I could find a place like VWorks.

Best
