Jewellery Quarter welcomes new flexible workspace following £5m investment

The Jewellery Quarter has welcomed a brand-new flexible workspace following a £5million investment. Formerly known as the ‘Big Peg’, the newly launched JQ Modern offers a range of private offices, both fully serviced and managed, for businesses from 1 to 50 people.

The impressive 100,000 sq ftt landmark sits on Golden Square in the centre of the Jewellery Quarter and provides stylish affordable and versatile private office space. Designed to provide everything a business needs, JQ Modern’s occupiers benefit from one monthly payment and flexible contract options.

Private offices have been paired with break out and collaborative spaces, stunning facilities across seven floors, on-site yoga classes, and much more. It also boasts spectacular panoramic views of the city skyline, boutique communal lounges, two boardrooms for up to 15 people, and six meeting rooms for smaller groups.

Sales and Marketing Manager, Tara Elwell, comments: “We have put a healthy work environment at the heart of JQ Modern; with abundant natural daylight, opening windows, and stunning private workspaces. The Jewellery Quarter is the original creative hub of Birmingham, and JQ Modern now provides a fantastic opportunity for creators and entrepreneurs to work in a re-imagined space in the historic heart of our brilliant city.

“As well as the fantastic physical attributes of JQ Modern, we also provide businesses with contractual flexibility and high speed internet, which makes joining our entrepreneurial working community an easy decision!”

Tara adds: “We’ve grown our team from three to 10 people, with a great focus on providing five-star customer service and are looking forward to bolstering the existing community of digital and creative businesses in the area as exciting new businesses join us.”

JQ Modern sits in the heart of Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter, with a tram stop and train stop a few yards from the front door, and a 600-space car park immediately adjacent. The area boasts some of the best independent coffee shops, cafés, bars and pubs in the city, and the newly renovated building offers businesses space to foster their individual identity rather than be lost in a big brand shared workspace.

Oxford gains its own digital marketing meet-up launching this month called ‘Search Oxford’

Aaron Rudman-Hawkins, SEO expert and managing director of Oxfordshire digital marketing agency, The Evergreen Agency, has recently launched Search Oxford, the only industry meet-up in the Oxfordshire area. 

Search Oxford – a digital marketing meet-up in Oxford for the digital community of the city and its surrounding areas, is a rebrand of what was once ODWU meet-up (Oxford Digital Workers Union) that was first launched in 2017 and wasn’t continued after the pandemic hit, due to a change in circumstances. 

This exciting new networking event welcomes everyone from agencies to freelancers and in-house digital professionals. The focus for Search Oxford is collaboration, knowledge sharing and community. Aaron’s plan is to continue to build the inclusive community that previous organisers Aisha and Charlie started and produce an opportunity to learn, network and interact with fellow digital professionals in the local area.

Aaron Rudman-Hawkins comments on his takeover of the former meetup and explains: “I loved the ODWU meet-ups and attended regularly. During Covid, their circumstances changed and long story short, I’ve taken it over and I’m going to bring this Oxford-based event back with a bang!

At this point, I want to give the former organisers of the event, Aisha and Charlie, a massive shout out as they did such a great job over 3-4 years to build ODWU into the fantastic event that it became, with 500+ members registered and regular attendees of 30-40+ for every event.”

Running a local networking event has always been a plan of Aarons that he is now ready to pursue, with the first event scheduled to take place on Wednesday 30th March from 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm at an Oxford-based venue. 

Rudman-Hawkins also comments: “Search Oxford is going to quickly become Oxford’s premier digital meetup for anyone in the digital space. Regardless of your discipline or experience, if you’re in the digital space and are based in or around Oxford, this is the event for you.”
