About ShiftWorks
Designed by members, for members.
ShiftWorks was created in 2019 to give entrepreneurs, freelancers and growing teams a productive, professional place to work in Chester and on the Wirral, and a community to work alongside. Today that means four addresses.
The beginning
Have you ever tried working from home and realised how difficult it can be with all the distractions around the house and unreliable internet? Alex and Scott certainly have. They both ran their own businesses from home and experienced firsthand the challenges that come with it, including the effect on mental health caused by working in isolation. That is why ShiftWorks was born.
Our inception
It started in Hoylake.
Alex and Scott began with ShiftWorks Market Street in Hoylake, a coworking space on the Wirral with everything a modern professional needs: private offices, meeting rooms, networking events and more. The goal was a collaborative environment where members could bounce ideas off each other, gain feedback and grow their businesses. Every detail was considered to increase productivity and reduce admin, from superfast Wi-Fi and wireless presentation displays to on-site tech support.
Our expansion
Then across the Wirral and into Chester.
The success of Market Street led to Lake House, a home for private offices around the corner, and in 2022 to Royal House in the centre of Chester. Demand for a vibrant, healthy workspace grew not only among the self-employed but among employees of companies embracing flexible and remote working. Today we run four addresses, each built around the same idea: designed by members, for members.
What we stand for
Four things we will not compromise on.
01
Considered
Every room, chair and cable is chosen to help you concentrate, meet and switch off.
02
Honest
One fixed monthly cost with every bill included. Rolling contracts, not long leases.
03
Local
Independent and owner-run, rooted in Chester and the Wirral and invested in both.
04
Sociable
Member events, introductions and a community that is generous with its time.
How we grew
One address at a time.
