It’s been a hectic couple of days at WOTSO ‘s newest flexspace in Jamisontown, which opened on Monday.
The final touches, including the positioning of some beautiful plants, were being made to the space as the first members moved in.
Workspace Manager, Katrina Couchman, also had several site tours to contend with while ensuring the first meeting room booking ran smoothly.
“It’s really exciting, we’ve got off to a great start,” she said.
She is one of WOTSO’s original staff members, joining Australia’s leading flexspace business nine years ago when it took over a co-working space she managed in the Penrith CBD.
That now operates as WOTSO Penrith, and is close to capacity, creating the opportunity for a second space in the area.
Couchman said each site has different attributes and that the Jamisontown fitout – featuring 13 repurposed shipping containers and forests of artfully recycled timber – makes it unique.
“They are quite different and work really well together – what one doesn’t have the other one does have, so they complement each other really well,” she said.
“For example, WOTSO Penrith is right in the middle of the CBD and close to the train station.
“Jamisontown is further out but it’s all ground level, which people are liking, especially for the health suites, and there’s also plenty of free parking.”
WOTSO Jamisontown is twice the size of Penrith with a total capacity of 124 desks across private offices and coworking space.
There’s also a brand-new fully stocked kitchen, great relaxation area, secure business grade internet, staffed reception, admin services and the opportunity to be part of a supportive working community.
