Village Hotel Club Cardiff has launched co-working space facilities in response to the increasing local demand for a flexible and innovative work environment.

VWorks offers modern hot-desking spaces – equipped with super-fast Wi-Fi, free printing and photocopying, free refreshments and flexible bookings via Village Hotel Club’s digital app.  The aim is for VWorks to become the city’s premier spot people to work, make connections and get inspired.

The launch of VWorks in Cardiff comes as new research reveals exactly what makes local office workers tick, and what ticks them off.  According to the survey from Village Hotel Club Cardiff, sitting with people you don’t like is the biggest office frustration.  With an increasing focus on work/life balance, 47% said they would work more efficiently if they didn’t have to go into the office every day.

The research also suggested that local offices are not up to scratch when it comes to impressing potential clients and contacts – 33% said prefer to host important meetings outside elsewhere, and 24% are embarrassed by the state of their current workspace.

Topping the list of what benefits workers in the city want to see most, is free refreshments (30%), closely followed by better coffee (23%). Better technology (20%) completed the top three office wish list.

Simon Chairney, General Manager of Village Hotel Club Cardiff, said:

“We’ve noticed an increasing number of people looking for a space to work throughout the day, whether they’re looking for a temporary alternative to the office, or the home.

Through VWorks we hope to provide a smart and inspiring workspace, as well as giving people the opportunity to take advantage of our other facilities, from the Gym to Starbucks and our Pub & Grill.”
