As posted previously, we have created an exciting working and learning space for our company at Unit 7 in the Rosebank Fire Station. The units at the fire station (it is still a working fire station!) were originally built as accommodation for the firemen and women, but about 10 years ago were converted into office units.
As well as providing a space for ourselves we have created a flexible working and learning space for other consultants and small businesses. By creating a beautiful and energetic space we have been able to stimulate creativity and networking, as well as building important connections.
The people and organisations who currently share our space include Ivan Ginsberg, who runs Computer Experts Personnel - an IT recruitment agency; architect Pietman Lategan who creates beautiful living spaces (Virtual Architecture); Refiloe Seseane (18twenty8 – an NGO that supports the professional development of young women); the partners of Sarraounia Trust, that focuses on capacity building in the health sector (Nancy Coulson, Cheryl Goldstone and Nirvana Pillay); and Wendy Ovens – a local government specialist. And we also have an exciting connection with the SeeTrust - established by my colleague Paul Keursten - which seeks to promote social entrepreneurship and networking in communities, building on the work done by some incredibly committed people to address social issues.
