New York based company Bar Works operates a growing chain of co-working spaces aimed at entrepreneurs who are looking for affordable convenient work space in attractive locations.

The company is about to launch “Pod Works” in London, Leeds and Edinburgh using old BT telephone boxes as mini-work stations for both entrepreneurs who are constantly on the move or for those who need a convenient place to work before a meeting or an interview.

Each “Pod” will have Wi-Fi and internet connections, printer/scanner, wireless mouse, a 25 inch screen, a hot drinks machine and a powerbank of plugs.

A fee of £19.99 a month ensures membership of the Pod Works “club” and access to any work station. In order to enter, a link to an APP is sent which allows access any time day or night.

The company is also planning to turn other BT phone boxes which are no longer in use into work stations and will gradually expand the concept into major cities across the UK.

Bar Works CEO Jonathan Black said: “Entrepreneurs and others constantly on the move need a convenient, affordable and private place to work. Why should they sit in Starbucks or any other coffee bar when using one of our Pods will allow them to truly focus on their job before an important meeting or presentation at less than the price of two cups of coffee a week.”
