Charlotte was tasked with looking into possible locations for our business, Studio space at a reasonable price, preferably in Leeds. This was following discussions as a group regarding pros and cons of particular locations, Leeds was chosen as there should almost always be business due to the number of independent companies setting up in the area. Also the fact that we will all be in Leeds following graduation and the availability of resources in the College of art are big deciding factors. Not to mention Leeds being the business capital of the North, with great links to all other areas and a good central location.
"Duke Studios are, as stated on their site, a multi disciplinary creative
space in the heart of Leeds, offering studio spaces, co-working
membership and services. It is located in Munro house, above Leeds
Gallery and Cafe 164.
We wanted to be surrounded by like-minded professionals therefore we
thought Duke Studios was a perfect place to set up our new business.
Although not officially opened, this will provide a new and contemporary
working space for us. There are plenty of resources, the space is more
than adequate and provides 'endless collaboration potential' Business is social, meet, work, collaborate, explore, learn, grow and succeed. "
Joe Warburton, 2012
