Pompey Chimes in with latest Smarter Working Centre

The appropriately named Victory Business Centre is the latest location to join Hampshire's growing county-wide network of work-hubs.
This latest addition to the Hampshire & IOW Smarter Working Centre Newtork provides highly affordable internet connected work, office, training or meeting space all on a pay-as-you-use and as and when needed basis.
Portsmouth like other centres in the network also offers the benefits of co-working and easy access to SWC Partner business support organisations like Business Link, Enterprise First, Hampshire Chamber and Job Centre Plus.
Social Enterprises and CICs are also being encouraged to use the centres for group meetings and training sessions.
Our thanks to Portsmouth City Council for choosing to invest in the shared-workspace revolution that is now beginning to gain momentum in several different parts of the country.
