An office for hire is set to open at Harrogate Railway Station in March.

Sheffield-based Workfromhub has designed the facility to create private working space for an “ever growing remote workforce”.

The start-up company has already introduced hubs in Sheffield and Swinton in Greater Manchester.

People will be able to book the Harrogate hub at a rate of £8.99 per hour for one or two hours or £5.99 per hour for eight-plus hours.

The facilities include space for two people along with internet access, a second screen and desk space.

Neal Byers, founder of Workfromhub, told the Stray Ferret the hub would also encourage people back to railway and bus stations.

He said:

“We are working closely with Northern Rail to help transform underused spaces within stations. We can see the need for people who are on the move to have somewhere private and connected to work from.
“We feel that there are not enough remote working private spaces around to keep up with the demand of a growing remote workforce.
“We also see transport links such as rail stations, park and rides and interchanges, have suffered from covid-19 and are trying to encourage users to come back and use their facilities. WorkfromHub can help resolve both these issues, reimagining underused spaces and creating great places to work from.”

Those who book will receive a code to enter the facility for their allocated time.
