York is seeing an influx of new office space providers as the city continues to attract entrepreneurs, freelancers, and remote workers. Among the recent additions is Patch York, which opened six months ago in the Bonding Warehouse building in Skeldergate. The flexible workspace is the fifth location in a national chain, marking its first northern England venture.
Patch York offers a range of workspaces, including hot-desking, private offices, and meeting rooms. It currently accommodates 250 members, with plans to expand by adding 50 more spaces when the first-floor area is converted later this year. Most members have transitioned from home offices rather than relocating from other businesses, with many working in creative, tech, or eco industries.
The City of York Council has played a key role in supporting the success of new workspaces like Patch. Their Economic Growth Team has provided crucial advice during the planning phase and connected businesses with potential clients, local suppliers, and partners. The council continues to support ongoing operations by facilitating networking opportunities and local events.
Patch is not alone in contributing to York’s growing appeal as a hub for remote workers and small businesses. Wizu Workspaces is also set to open at East Coast House later this summer, offering private offices, coworking spaces, and meeting facilities for businesses of various sizes.
York’s vibrant culture and strong transport links make it an attractive destination for remote workers, with local efforts driving the creation of workspaces that encourage collaboration and innovation.
