Go Meet, Chelmsford - How work patterns are changing

The "home vs office" debate is over. The reality of how people actually work is far more interesting.We're welcoming Nick Hurt — founder of DeskAway and the brains behind Progressa — as our next guest speaker at Mantle Space. Nick works daily with business owners navigating the real shift in working patterns: local, flexible, multi-location. Not the version consultants put in slide decks — the version playing out on the ground right now.If you run a business or lead a team, this is the conversation you need to be in.

At this event Nick will share an insight-led talk on how work patterns are evolving, what occupiers now value from flexible space, and why collaboration between independent and flexible workspace providers is becoming increasingly important. This will be a practical, discussion-focused session with no sales pitch — designed to prompt thought, conversation and shared learning.

Nick Hurt is a business founder and advisor working at the intersection of people, operations and the future of work. He is the founder of DeskAway, a new national network of independent workspaces, and also runs Progressa, supporting SMEs with practical HR, leadership and operational advice.

Nick works closely with business owners and operators and sees first-hand how working patterns have shifted beyond the traditional “home vs HQ” debate. His focus is on what organisations and workspace providers can do to respond to how people actually work today — locally, flexibly and across multiple locations — rather than how we assume they work.
