There’s a new private office and co-working space in Wodonga and it’s helping small business owners propel their productivity and propel their business forward to reach some big dreams.
Propel was launched in February by Hayley Foots, who is passionate about helping small businesses grow.
“Propel gives the opportunity to be productive, expand your network and 'propel' your business in an affordable and considered way,” she said.
“Leasing a professional space in bite-size chunks for a lot of businesses is a great stepping stone to growth. Committing to a long-term commercial lease can be scary and there can be a lot of unknown and unforeseen costs involved. With Propel, your hire fee covers everything, including coffee.”
The newly renovated space includes co-working desks as well as private offices, which have been popular. There’s also a meeting room that seats eight people.
A mixture of professions use the space in Nilmar Avenue, from finance, allied health, human resources, leadership and even trades.
“It has been quite popular in the allied health space with occupational therapists, psychologists and counsellors, and next month we have a midwife using the space for consultations which is really exciting,” Hayley said.
“There are co-working spaces available to rent locally, but not many private office suites. They're perfect for client appointments/consultations or to lock yourself away in an inspiring space to get through your to do list. The support from the Wodonga community has been amazing.
There are no memberships required, with the aim to offer small businesses an affordable, professional and beautiful space to work and see clients, with flexible booking options.
“I would encourage anyone considering using the space to reach out. I'm more than happy to show them through to see if it's right for them,” Hayley said.
“It gives me a huge kick seeing people use the space, connecting with others and completely smashing goals. It absolutely lights me up to know that we were able to create a space for people to do that.”
Propel is located at 8 Nilmar Ave, Wodonga and rates and booking system can be found at www.propeloffices.com.au.
