One of Wales’ fastest growing workspaces, Tramshed Tech, soft launches in Newport Market – less than two months after the opening of their second location in One Central Square, Cardiff.

Whist Tramshed Tech make finishing touches to their latest tech hub in Griffin House, Newport Market ahead of its official launch in October 2022, they are inviting tech, digital and creative start-ups to trial their space for free.

Over the past five years, Tramshed Tech has grown from 10,000 sq. ft. of co-working and office space in Grangetown to 30,000 sq. ft. across two locations in Cardiff with new venues opening in Newport, Barry and Swansea over the next eighteen months.
