Temporary Closure of Origin Workspace

In response to the UK government’s new measures to contain the spread of coronavirus, from 30th March we will be temporarily closing Origin Workspace.

The safety of our community is, and always will be, the most important thing to us and in light of the government’s recent measures, we have consulted with our members and agreed to freeze memberships and provide a membership fee holiday whilst government advice is to work from home.

We are actively working to maintain our fantastic community and encourage our members to stay connected on Slack and to our wider community on social media. Thank you for your support, we look forward to reopening our doors again soon.

We will reopen when we receive government advice that is safe to do so.

Stay well and best wishes,
Rob Hingston
Managing Director, Origin Workspace
