FoundersHub launch event

A new workspace in the city centre is offering creative businesses the opportunity to trial their big ideas in a low risk environment.

FoundersHub on High Street opened its doors last Wednesday (6 November 2013) at a launch event featuring edible Lego, craft beer and a vintage arcade machine. 

"Bony Tony"

Less than 25 workers will join “Bony Tony” in the upstairs room to maintain a spacious atmosphere, but there are more desks on the lower floor

Local couple Craig Lockwood and Amie Duggan conceived the project. Their dream is to provide a relaxed setting where creative entrepreneurs in Cardiff can work and exchange ideas. 

“Rather than renting an office, paying business rates and internet costs, people who have an idea can try it out here to see if it works,” says Amie, who hopes that the flexible rates at FoundersHub will appeal to new start ups as well existing companies.
