LOCATION - Round foundry 

We began looking into potential design space we could possibly rent and use as a base for our business. The round foundry was a possibility, but the website didn't provide space dimension, nor price. So I emailed the studio to find out more. (Using Steph's email account). Because of the long day we had had i made a few silly errors such as grammar and spelling mistakes (forth wall not fourth wall) etc. This was a shame because we intend to come across as being professional and we expect to be taken seriously. This can't be achieved with errors like these.

The email should read -


Good Evening Alison,


Fourth Wall is a newly developed design agency, currently looking for a suitable workspace for 3 designers. We were very impressed by Round Foundry's access to facilities and spacious offices. Could you please provide us with some information about the available spaces noted on your site and also info concerning costing/bills?


Best Regards,
Stephanie Lawson
Fourth Wall.



They got back in touch which was grand considering the amount of errors in the email.
In summary, a space for 3 people costs £850 / month + VAT and business rates, which is a little pricey, seeing as it doesn't include broadband or phones. The person we contacted did mention that there is another office space in Tower Works, which is set to open in spring, which is just £70 per week, without phone and broadband. I think its certainly something to look into.
Another option is Duke studios, again something we need to look into as a group.
