What began with three trestle tables, borrowed internet and a handful of local entrepreneurs has grown into a three-level workspace supporting more than 200 businesses.

Since 2014, we’ve welcomed businesses from many different industries, expanded our facilities and created a place where local people can work, connect and grow.

How It All Started

Our story began when we moved back to the Sutherland Shire after spending a few years in Melbourne.

While living there, Aidan had experienced coworking while running his technology start-up. With our family and friends based in the Shire and a young family of our own, we saw an opportunity to create a local workspace without the daily commute into Sydney’s CBD.

We began organising informal Friday gatherings known as “jellies”, where entrepreneurs and professionals could bring their laptops and work alongside one another.

Our setup was simple: three Bunnings trestle tables and an internet connection borrowed from the office next door.

Before investing in a permanent space, we asked our regular attendees whether they’d pay to work somewhere like this.

They said yes, as long as the internet was good!

That gave us the confidence to take the next step.

Growing One Desk at a Time

Our first permanent workspace was a 100-square-metre office with 11 desks and a meeting room.

We obtained desks, office chairs and a boardroom table for a $500 donation and gradually expanded as more people joined.

It wasn’t always easy. We were raising our young family while trying to build the business, and the costs of running a coworking space were significant.

When finances became tight, Aidan returned to full-time employment, while Lital took on more of the day-to-day operations.

As membership increased, we realised that businesses needed different types of workspaces. Some wanted open-plan desks, while others needed private offices, meeting rooms and space for growing teams.

We introduced private offices and continued expanding, eventually taking on an entire 1,000-square-metre floor.

Today, we occupy three levels, with approximately 100 private offices, 40 coworking desks, 13 meeting rooms and dedicated consulting suites.

As Aidan Green, Co-Founder and Owner of Inspire Cowork, explains:

“Our original idea was to let people grow their business one desk at a time. That still applies today. Some businesses start with one person and grow into larger teams, while others need to scale back or change their setup.”

More Than Just a Place to Work

One of the most rewarding parts of the past 12 years has been getting to know the people behind the businesses.

Our community brings together people from a wide range of industries, from digital marketing agencies and technology professionals to business consultants, lawyers, property professionals and accountants.

You’ll find financial services professionals, psychologists, counsellors and allied health practitioners, alongside entrepreneurs, sole traders and growing teams at different stages of their business journey.

It’s this mix of people, skills and experience that makes our community so valuable, creating opportunities to connect, share ideas and support one another.We’ve welcomed sole traders, established companies, growing teams and professionals looking for somewhere productive to work closer to home.

Some members have been with us almost from the beginning. We’ve watched them take on staff, move into larger offices and form relationships with other businesses in the space.

We also understand that working for yourself can sometimes feel isolating.

That’s why we organise monthly lunches, morning teas and opportunities to celebrate our members’ achievements.

For Lital Green, Co-Founder and Owner of Inspire Cowork, it’s these relationships that have made the journey so rewarding.

“What we’re most proud of is the community we’ve built and the businesses we’ve watched grow along the way. Some members have become friends, and it’s wonderful to see people supporting each other and building relationships beyond their work.”

We continue to work alongside our members in the shared coworking area because being approachable and part of everyday life at Inspire is important to us.

Celebrating 12 Years and Looking Ahead

With so much focus on growing Inspire, we haven’t always stopped to celebrate the milestones along the way.

This anniversary gives us a chance to reflect on how far we’ve come and thank our members, team and local business community for being part of the journey.

We’re proud of the workspace we’ve created, but even more proud of the people who make it what it is.

While our facilities and services continue to evolve, our original vision remains the same: making it easier for local businesses to work and grow without the commitment of running their own office.

Inspire Cowork, which provides the shared resources, organised an activities day similar to that which large corporates provide for their employees.

The Brick 4 Kidz Lego day involved children building around a number of themes like Toy Story, and being joined by mum or dad for a pizza lunch.

Aidan and Lital Green, who started Inspire Cowork five years ago and have seen it grow to cater for more than 100 small businesses, said, as parents, they recognised the school holidays need.

Because of the success, they are looking at expanding school holiday activities in the future.

1. An affordable option:
   Start-up businesses, sole-traders, and freelancers don’t necessarily have the means or resources to go down the traditional office space route where office space is rented at a high rate per sqm based on location and length of the lease.
   
   The concept of renting a desk in a collaborative environment was an opportunity previously unavailable. With the coworking model, this allows small businesses to work in an office space which offers a community of like-minded people at an affordable price.
   
   At Inspire Cowork you have access to your own dedicated desk, a super quick Wi-Fi connection, bottomless tea and barista style coffee, access to private meeting rooms, soundproof phone booths and so much more are. All of this is included in your monthly membership fee – no hidden costs!
2. No strings attached:
   At Inspire Cowork and many other coworking spaces in Sydney and around the world, we offer the flexibility of members not being tied into any lease agreement. Inspire Cowork prides itself on understanding the realism of the position start-ups and small businesses are in. We recognise that business demands can change suddenly and therefore we do not hold our members to a lease agreement or commitment to the space.
3. Networking:
   Those seeking to get inspired and connect with like-minded people should look no further. Inspire Cowork is a professional coworking space in the Sutherland Shire, which prides itself on its awesome community of over 60 local businesses. The coworking space is filled with members who enjoy a quality of life which is represented in their work-life balance, growing their networks, cutting their costs and increasing their productivity.
   
   With so many businesses working within the space, it gives you the opportunity to connect with people who may be able to help service your business or vice-versa.
4. Grow your team without the stress:
   A coworking space gives you the flexibility of growing your team without the stress of having to rent a large office space. It gives you the opportunity to increase your team by simply allocating a second or third coworking desk. If business slows down, you can then decrease the number of desks based on your employees and remain within the same office space.
5. Location:
   The best thing about working for yourself is the fact that you get to choose where you work from. Working from a coworking space allows you to pick a space which is in close proximity to your home or a location which best suits your lifestyle.
   
   If you’re located in Alfords Point, Bangor, Barden Ridge, Bonnet Bay, Brighton Le Sands, Bundeena, Burraneer, Caringbah, Cronulla, Dolans Bay, Engadine, Grays Point, Greenhills Beach, Gymea, Gymea Bay, Heathcote, Illawong, Jannali, Kangaroo Point, Kareela, Kirrawee, Kurnell, Sans Souci, Sutherland, Sylvania Waters, Taren Point, Waterfall, Woolooware, Woronora, Woronora Heights, Yarrawarrah or Yowie Bay, we may be the perfect office space solution for you.
   
   Inspire Cowork is located in Miranda, just minutes’ walk from Westfield Miranda and the train station.
