A NEW co-working space has opened in Brighouse following the investment of a six-figure sum.

BrigHub operates from a transformed Victorian building and former pub, Vulcan House, purchased by Stefanie Hopkins.

It’s currently home to her PR, social media and content agency Faith PR. The building, built in 1869 and located near the town’s railway station, has three hot-desking rooms, a large meeting room as well as a communal kitchen and dining area.

Stefanie, who has run Faith PR for 13 years and is a director of the Mid Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce, said: “I wanted to create a supportive and collaborative space for those who will continue to work flexibly beyond the pandemic; a professional, shared working environment for freelancers, start-ups, or remote workers who simply want a change from their four walls for a day and some return to ‘normality’.

"That’s why we’ve significantly invested in BrigHub to suit the needs of a modern workforce.”

An open afternoon will be held tomorrow between 3pm and 6pm.
