Vulcan Works
Specialist business planning support on off er
With this month seeing the introduction of the much-anticipated National Insurance increase for employers, businesses in Northamptonshire have been looking at ways to reduce their over- heads, or have paused plans to recruit or expand in other ways. Organisations facing these challenges or seeking extra support
with business planning are invited to get in touch with offi ce hub Vulcan Works. T e purpose-built serviced workspace, which celebrates its
second anniversary in Northampton’s Cultural Quarter this month, off ers scalable offi ce and workshop spaces and is renowned for its dedicated business support for customers, including grant and tender opportunities, networking and topical masterclasses. Vulcan Works also off ers access to a trio of on-site specialists to
its customers – the centre’s own business growth manager Darren Smith; Barclays Eagle Labs’ Eco System Manager, Owen Moran; and experts from South East Midlands Growth Hub. Since it opened in 2023, the hub has supported hundreds of local
businesses. In the last year alone, 43 local companies have called Vulcan Works home, including 14 new tenants, and 486 meetings have been held in the Vulcan Works meeting rooms. In 24 months, more than 200 entrepreneurs have used the space
for co-working, and the venue has hosted more than 100 business events annually, both internally and through organised groups such as T e Marketing Meetup, Entrepreneurs Circle, Digital Northants, Coworking Club and NN1 Dev Club. Customers, from those with dedicated desks to offi ce space, can
also take advantage of on-site workshops, including informative sessions on branding, fi rst aid, elite sales and sustainability. T e bustling business community and communal areas at the
centre also create numerous opportunities to speak to likeminded business owners and entrepreneurs navigating similar obstacles. An open day to showcase the companies on site and the facilities
available to both tenants and the wider business community will be held on Friday April 4 from 10am to 2pm.
Guests can also book onto office tours and co-working
opportunities, as well as benefit from free hot desking and networking throughout the day. Centre manager Garrick Hurter said: “Right now, many business
owners are struggling with cash fl ow, lead generation and making decisions around future growth. “We recognise that businesses are struggling to know where
to turn and know what to do in the current climate. Vulcan Works doesn’t just off er offi ce space, it’s a creative community that we are immensely proud of. Our customers benefi t from extensive business support and free on-site workshops to help them to deal with any challenges they might be facing and gain new skills to aid in their success. “As well as off ering an ideal workplace for entrepreneurs, start-
ups and SMEs, we also create opportunities for businesses to thrive, through grants, tenders, signposting and masterclasses. “Our on-site team are always on hand should our customers
need help or advice, and our impressive facilities also support innovation and collaboration.”
