Hexagon House: A Stylish New Co-Working Hub Brings Flexible Office Life to Knaresborough

Working from home has its perks, but what if there was a proper, stylish office space right on your doorstep? For folks in and around North Yorkshire, there’s some brilliant news. The award-winning company, The Wizu Group, is bringing its fresh take on office life to the lovely town of Knaresborough with its Flexico brand. They are about to launch a brand-new workspace called Hexagon House, designed for local professionals, freelancers, and businesses tired of the kitchen table or the city commute.

A proper workspace without the faff

So, what exactly is this new place? Imagine a super modern, 7,500 sq ft building filled with everything needed to get work done, but without any of the boring bits like sorting out bills or fixing the Wi-Fi. That’s Hexagon House. Located at St James Business Park, it’s in a perfect spot for anyone commuting, as it’s just a stone's throw from the A1. And the best bit? There's free onsite parking, which is a massive win for anyone driving. This isn't just another office block; it's a huge part of The Wizu Group's expansion and growth strategy, bringing top-tier co-working spaces to new areas.

The whole idea is to be completely flexible. Whether a solo worker needs a desk for a day or a growing team needs a private office, there’s a solution. People can choose affordable pay-as-you-go plans or sign up for a membership. It’s all about what works for them and their business, with flexible terms being a key part of the offering. The facilities at this new Knaresborough workspace are designed to cover all bases for modern professionals.

• Private Offices: Spaces big enough for teams of up to 30 people.

• Co-working Space: A shared lounge area with comfy booth seating and all-day access for when a change of scenery is needed.

• Meeting Rooms: Two bookable meeting rooms for those important client catch-ups or team brainstorming sessions.

• All the Extras: There’s a fully stocked kitchen for that essential caffeine fix and a dedicated team on-site to make sure everything runs smoothly.

The big idea behind bringing Flexico to Knaresborough

The brains behind this operation are the Wizu Group, a company that has already made a big name for itself creating design-led co-working spaces across the UK. Hexagon House is their 19th location, showing just how popular this way of working has become. The Flexico brand is all about taking that successful city-centre workspace model and setting it up in suburban towns, supporting local business communities that might not have access to these kinds of modern facilities.

Tom Almas, the CEO and one of the founders of Wizu Group, explained the original vision. He says: “Our dream was to create spaces without the stress of running a traditional office, offering flexible terms, transparent pricing, excellent service and all set in a beautiful environment. In 2016 our ambition was realised and Wizu is now one of the most highly rated workspaces in the north.” He adds that Flexico is now applying that same successful thinking outside the big cities. “It caters for individuals and businesses wanting flexibility and accessibility in vibrant, stylish and creative hubs without having to pay city-centre prices.” It’s a smart move that recognises the talent and businesses thriving in places like North Yorkshire.

More than just a desk and a chair

One of the best things about a shared workspace isn’t just the free coffee or the fast internet; it’s the people. Working alone at home can be isolating. A co-working space puts people in a room with other ambitious, like-minded professionals. Who knows who could be sitting at the next table? It might be a future collaborator, a new client, or just someone to have a good chat with over lunch. This is something the other of the founders, Wizu Group Chairman John Guggenheim, is passionate about.

John Guggenheim says: “By bringing Flexico sites to more locations outside of cities, we very much see this as an opportunity for businesspeople to widen their own networking circles - whether that is recruiting, generating new business leads or simply meeting like-minded professionals.” He explains their mantra is ‘everything you need and nothing you don’t’. At Hexagon House, that means over 200 workstations, the meeting rooms, and even private phone booths and quiet areas for when deep concentration is needed. “We’re very excited to see the level of appeal this will garner across Knaresborough and the surrounding area as the go-to professional working space that helps bring together a pool of incredible talent that already exists here.” The location is also super convenient, being only 15 minutes away from Harrogate town centre.

Fancy a look around? You're invited to the launch event

To celebrate the official launch, Flexico is throwing open the doors of Hexagon House for a special event. It’s a chance for local businesses and professionals to have a proper nosey around the new co-working space and see what all the fuss is about. It’s happening on Tuesday 12 May, from 10am until 12pm. Visitors can hear from CEO Tom Almas and other guest speakers, and there will be complimentary food and drinks to enjoy. Even better, anyone who wants to try out the workspace can use it for free on the day.

For those who fall in love with the place (which is highly likely), there’s a great introductory offer. Anyone who signs up for a Flexico membership package at the open day will get their first month completely free on either a private office or a co-working space membership. Tickets are needed to attend the event, and people will need to register to work from Hexagon House on the day, so it’s best to get signed up early.

So, what are the costs?

The pricing structure is designed to make professional workspace accessible to everyone from freelancers to established teams.

• Private Office Space — £175 per desk

• Co-working Membership — £85 per month

• Meeting Rooms — £20 per person, per day

• Virtual Office — £40 per month

This new Flexico workspace at Hexagon House is a big step forward in the Wizu Group’s growth strategy, providing a much-needed resource for professionals in and around Knaresborough.
