LEDCOM, a social enterprise focused on inspiring business growth in the local area by assisting entrepreneurs and companies, has launched a new Work Cube in Ballyclare town centre in partnership with Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council and Choice Housing Ireland.
Having supported entrepreneurship for over 36 years, the Work Cube is part of a pipeline of support from LEDCOM to encourage business start ups and scale ups in the Ballyclare area.
"As the business enterprise centre for the Ballyclare area, this development is an important part of our longer term plans to support entrepreneurship in the area," said LEDCOM Chairman Dr Norman Apsley OBE.
Offering a range of business services including advice, business plans, managed workspace and conference facilities, the Work Cube, located in The Square, Ballyclare by Choice, will give business owners and entrepreneurs a flexible and central location to establish themselves.
LEDCOM experienced business support team will be available to users of the Work Cube to provide a range of business support services and connections.
LEDCOM CEO, Ken Nelson, MBE, claims that the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic has forced local business owners and entrepreneurs to re-consider their business needs and re-asses how they operate on a daily basis.
"We know that the priorities of some companies and entrepreneurs have changed greatly over the last 15 months," said Ken. "Many are looking for opportunities to escape the city centre and what can sometimes be prohibitive rental rates.
"Over the last few years we have also seen an increase in 'hotdesking' whereby a business owner will utilise a space as and when they require it and the new Work Cube is perfect for that.
"At LEDCOM, we provide nurturing environments where local businesses can grow and expand – whether they require independent advice, information, conference facilities or a place to establish themselves, we strive to cater to their key needs. It’s our hope that the Work Cube will provide the ideal space for those who are just starting out on their business journey or even a business which has had to restructure as a result of the pandemic. We want this to be a space for everyone, regardless of business need."
