Framework is part of the Forward Space family of innovative co-working spaces, and has been designed to produce a stunning, unique workspace. 

 

The Grade II warehouse has floor-to-ceiling windows, exposed beams, whitewashed stone walls and furniture by cult Danish design company HAY and bespoke interiors by Bristol’s Shape Studio. 

 

There are desks and team pods, a co-working lounge, library, collaboration space, meeting rooms and an event space. Free tea and coffee are offered, and there will be an extensive events programme to support companies with growth and wellbeing.

 

Gavin Eddy, chief executive and founder, said: “Our target clients are no longer content to work in conventional corporate offices.

 

“For them, design and location are increasingly important factors in choosing a workspace. We try hard to deliver something truly innovative and exciting each time we take on a new project. No two of our buildings are the same”.

 

Ben Byford, host and events manager, added: “A key differentiator will be our events.

 

“As well as hosting member’s events, Framework will provide a much-needed venue for the wider Bristol tech community to host talks, conferences, business development opportunities and workshops.”

Co-working spaces are usually associated with freelancers and the self-employed, but they can also be lifesavers for remote workers too. Working from home just doesn’t suit everyone, as it blurs the boundaries between work and home. For some people this makes it very difficult to stop working, and others get too distracted by domestic tasks like laundry, walking the dog or answering the landline when it rings. 

 

A unique city-centre co-working space like this would definitely be perfect for remote workers to create that distance between their home selves and their work selves. 

 

Understandably, many employers worry when they first hire a remote worker, or allow a current employee to shift to remote working. How will they be able to keep track of the worker’s whereabouts and make sure that they are not walking the dog when an unfinished deadline is looming?

 

While tracking employee work habits is largely an IT specialism (you can get everything from Slack to remote screen viewing to key-loggers to soothe your worries) our time and attendance system can help you with two factors: location and time.

 

Our Self-Service Module (SSM) enables employees to clock themselves in and out, as well as book holidays and doctor’s appointments. Most importantly, if they use the mobile phone app version of this module their movements can be tracked through GPS, and plotted onto a map should you need to do so.
