The Challenge: Finding in Farnham a healthier work environment than the home..

When lockdown struck last year, Diane found herself thrown into the stressful situation of working from home in Farnham, juggling a full-time job with homeschooling. 

Even once schools resumed, she found it was easy to get distracted by chores around the house or the doorbell ringing with deliveries. To make matters worse, she struggled to find a quiet place to focus and participate in meetings once her son returned from school in the afternoon.

Diane’s working day became more sporadic, with some tasks having to be completed late at night after putting her son to bed. Her work-life balance was becoming unhealthy, and she knew things had to change.  The stressful home environment and reduction in productivity prompted her to search for an alternative place to work. 

The Solution: The Space provides a serviced sanctuary close by as an alternative to working from home

Initially, Diane tried out an individual office in Farnham, but felt that it “just didn’t offer the right atmosphere. It was just like a tiny little cupboard, which was a bit depressing to go to.”  

When she discovered The Space co-working venue, she found that it offered the friendly but professional atmosphere she was looking for. And she has been there ever since. 

“Apart from just getting the peace and quiet, it’s a much better atmosphere here. It’s nicer to work with other people and have friendly conversation.”

She found that having a serviced workspace with access to meeting rooms meant that her day ran much more smoothly than at home — she didn’t have to worry about things like topping up the printer ink or having any interruptions during calls. 

She also liked the convenience of “having a base” where she could leave her laptop overnight and book samples that would otherwise clutter up her house.

Results: Increased productivity and better work-life balance



• Having a serviced workspace meant that Diane could focus solely on work tasks, which increased her productivity. 
• The meeting rooms provided an interruption-free, professional environment, ideal for calls and online meetings, resulting in a much more efficient workday. 
• Diane’s working day returned to normal hours. 
• Diane was able to completely separate work from home, even having the option to leave her laptop and other work-related items safely at the venue.
• By saving time in a distraction-free environment, she was able to incorporate exercise into her day, going running on her lunch breaks or after work. 

Not only did joining The Space have such a positive impact on her work life, it meant that she could show up better at home for her family too. 

“On the days that I was devoting to work, I had a separate premises to get through as much work as I could, so that I could be around on the days for homeschooling.”
