Success Stories at space282 - ChadSan

David Spencer came to space282 just over 18 months ago looking to hire desk space to help build and grow his work as an accountancy company; Chadsan (aka Chadsley Sanford). Since then David has moved into a 6-person office here at our Leigh Road site, employing a small team of staff, representing a range of clients with the business continuing to expand. What was it exactly about our space that helped David to grow?

“The co-working benefits mean you have a collaborative atmosphere where you can bounce ideas off each other, and network with other business owners and start-ups”.

David also credits the space282 team for their constant support and help, the fact he was able to run workshops to develop the business – such as those in Xero accountancy software, tax clinics and team marketing. “I also love the location of Leigh-on-Sea and it’s easy for our clients to find, the wi-fi was an important factor, the networking events and opportunities, the facilities that space282 offers such as meeting room hire, the virtual business address and phone number services – it all lends itself to the professional aesthetic of your business, rather than meeting in a coffee shop!”

It’s worth mentioning that one of the big attractions for David has been the space282 style, ChadSan wanted to attract a younger client base and the space282 ‘Shoreditch chic’ has helped set these accountants apart from the rest. No beige and boring clipboard wielders here! “We don’t look like your average accountancy and that is certainly an advantage, space282 reflects that appeal”.

So, if you’re a sole trader looking to expand or a freelancer considering a start-up, what would David recommend about hiring space282 for you? “There’s too many distractions at home, it’s beneficial to work with others and share ideas, it means you’re not isolated. Plus, all the facilities included in the hire make your business more professional, these are all selling points for gaining more clients”.

ChadSan continues to go from strength to strength and it all started with David simply hiring a desk with us, then a 1-person office before moving onto larger office space needed for a team of staff. space282 has been there every step of the way making sure we were able to (and still are) accommodate him with every need. We’re here to offer you solutions, give your business a home and help you grow.
