About this space
A place to settle in and get things done.
The Growth Hub Forest of Dean supports start-ups, established businesses and growing teams with practical advice, expert guidance and a place to work alongside a lively local business community. Based in Mitcheldean, it combines fully funded business support with co-working, meeting and office facilities, creating a relaxed yet professional setting for businesses at different stages. Its co-working spaces include pods, individual workstations and breakout areas, with power sockets, USB charging, wired and wireless internet and on-site printing. The large board room is suited to meetings, conferences, training sessions and workshops, with video-conferencing facilities to support hybrid meetings. Seating can be arranged for groups of different sizes, making the room useful for both focused discussions and larger business gatherings. For businesses needing a more settled base, the hub offers private, lockable offices for one to four occupants, with desks and chairs, internet access, printer and scanner facilities and cleaning included. There is also event space for away days and off-site meetings, with catering available on request. The Growth Hub is wheelchair accessible, has free parking on site or nearby and is accessible by public transport. Advance notice is recommended for some accessibility arrangements, helping the team prepare suitable support for visitors. Set within a 67-acre business village shared by more than 100 companies, the hub offers an unusual concentration of potential connections. Businesses can combine a productive workspace with workshops, online classes, one-to-one consultations and mentoring, making it suitable for freelancers, start-ups, established SMEs and teams looking to develop.
