The Association of Independent Professionals and the Self-Employed (IPSE) has partnered with workspace provider AndCo to provide IPSE members with access to a network of more than 400 workspaces and meeting rooms.
The partnership provides members with access to the workspaces, which all feature secure, superfast Wi-Fi, at no extra cost. As a result of the tie-in, the IPSE says members will be able to save up to £240 per year on co-working spaces and benefit from AndCo’s “unique venues”, which include spaces at the Zedwell Hotel in Picadilly, Staybridge Suites in Vauxhall and Convivio in Bristol.
IPSE CEO Derek Cribb said: “Freelancers and contractors are a valuable resource for their clients, but above all they are a flexible one – even more so when they’re backed by flexible workspaces. That’s why I’m delighted to unveil this brand-new and exclusive benefit of IPSE membership, the UK’s only trade association dedicated to the self-employed.”
“After a period of lockdown many freelancers and their clients are keen to get back to face-to-face activities. The launch of this partnership with Andco gives our members immediate access to over 400 workspaces, with plans to expand across the UK at pace.”
AndCo founder Tom Wordie added: “We are tremendously proud to be partnering with IPSE. Our mission has always been to provide cost effective coworking and meeting rooms and we are delighted that our offering will be extended to IPSE members for free as part of their membership.”
“We’ve long recognised that freelancers and the self-employed make up a hugely important and valued proportion of our membership and so it’s incredibly satisfying to be able to work with an organisation which is totally dedicated to supporting them and lobbying for their interests.”
“In addition, we’re very excited that the geographical spread of IPSE members throughout the UK will be the guide which we use to direct our expansion nationwide.”
