What is the clubhouse?

When we started coworking days we didn't really know what it would turn into. Now we do. And it's special enough to be worth an online space that's there all month long.

Working for yourself or working from home means we've lost the humanity of collagues. The clubhouse helps bring it back into our lives.

There'd be no Manchester crew without them

A huge thank you to Department at Bonded Warehouse and Campfield for providing us with two stunning spaces to host Cowork Crew Manchester!

We’ll be hopping between the two each month, keep an eye on the event location to see which one we’re at this month.

Department at Bonded Warehouse transforms a remarkable piece of Manchester’s industrial history into a vibrant workspace destination.

Originally built as a railway terminus and later part of the Granada Studios complex, the building now houses a thriving community of
creative and digital businesses within beautifully restored industrial architecture designed for collaboration, culture and innovation.

Bonded Warehouse includes a café, content studios, private workspace, a clubhouse, and a gym and wellness centre, designed for both the working day and everything around it.

Campfield is a next-generation technology and media campus designed for founders, innovators and high-growth companies shaping the future of AI, technology and digital media.

Bringing together startups, scale-ups, researchers and creative technologists, it creates a connected environment built to accelerate ideas, collaboration and progress.

Your hosts

Karen Webber & Leyla Alexander

Karen Webber is a marketing consultant and the founder of Goodness Marketing, on a mission to rescue good people from bad marketing.

She works with everyone from local small businesses to national clients, offering strategy, implementation and mentoring. She also runs the Do Crew, a members’ community for business owners who want to get their marketing done together.

South African by birth, Karen misses the sea every day. But walking in the Peaks, going to the gym and reading in her hammock make for a pretty good life in Stockport – especially shared with her husband, two busy boys and Betsy the Barketing Assistant. One day she’ll write The Book. For now she sends out a weekly marketing email for small businesses with big hearts.

Leyla is a graphic designer based in Stockport, specialising in brand and web design (and everything in between).

With a love of joyful branding, she combines strategy with clean, vibrant design to help businesses show up with clarity and confidence.

Outside of work, Leyla can usually be found playing guitar, heading to gigs, dreaming of the ocean, walking in the Peak District or squeezing in allll the boardsports (though she’s yet to take up skateboarding). She also writes The Happy Palette, a monthly(ish) newsletter sharing branding ideas, creative inspiration and stories from freelance life.

FAQs

Have a question?

Anything else at all, email hey@coworkcrew.com and you'll get a proper answer from a human :)

While a lot of folk who attend are self employed, we're a super welcoming bunch.

The 'why' behind Cowork Crew is to help the self-employed and folk who work from home get out of the home office/coffee shop/kitchen table and enjoy some of the camraderie you used to get from colleagues.

The speaker topics and our general content will always be aimed at freelancers, founders and business owners, but we love meeting new faces. And if you work from home and fancy a day's company you are very welcome to join us.

We get it, we work for ourselves for many reasons, including schedule flexibility.

Come for as much of the day as makes sense for you.

You can bring lunch with you, or take the day-out excuse to nip to a local lunch spot.

Make sure you leave some room, as we’ll have cake to pick us all up during that mid-afternoon slump!

You’re welcome to take a call during Cowork Crew day. You can tuck yourself slightly out of the ‘main’ space in the breakout space if you want to avoid sitting around others while chatting.

We don’t have a completely private space available (as in a completely separate room) however, so it’s probably not the best time to run a webinar!

The benefits of spending a day coworking together go well beyond getting work done.

Feel free to chat to anyone who has the vibe they’re up for it. Or go to a social space to chat more in-depth if you'd like to.

No worries, life/clients/things happen! We offer refunds up to 24 hours before the event starts, no questions asked.

If you bought your ticket through the Clubhouse (Circle) pop an email to hey@coworkcrew.com and we'll process the refund for you.

If you bought your ticket through Eventbrite, here's Eventbrite's docs on how to request a refund. You'll get all of your fee refunded, bar Eventbrite's ticketing fee.

Campfield and Department are located right in the heart of St John’s.

They are a 3 minute walk to Spinningfields, Deansgate train station and Salford Central.

If you are driving in, the closest car park is NCP Manchester Spinningfields.

Sponsor Cowork Crew

Fancy backing the Manchester Crew?

We're looking for a sponsor for this location - a proud spot in front of a room of local self-employed folk.
