Since launching in 2011, membership-based club Central Working has seen rapid growth, with three key London sites now in operation in Whitechapel, Bloomsbury and Shoreditch.<\/p>\n

Designed to offer entrepreneurs and start-ups everything they need to grow their business – from space and systems to support – the club was awarded our Service Business of the Year 2013 award<\/a> in recognition of its flexible offering which allows “small businesses to share and grow together.”<\/p>\n

Here, the young company talks to Startups about plans for a funding round and why winning was “a lovely positive endorsement.”<\/p>\n

What’s happened in the last year since you entered the Startups Awards?<\/h4>\n

We have opened our single largest club, over 10 times larger than our first. We have secured partnerships with Microsoft and Barclays bank.<\/p>\n

Our membership have enjoyed more growth and we have seen them sharing the love on our Twitter and Facebook as well as in person.<\/p>\n

More recently we’ve had Boris, Bloomberg, the PM and the Shadow PM all with us – which has been wonderful.<\/p>\n

What’s been the single biggest highlight for the business since winning?<\/h4>\n

The joy that comes from really helping our members to grow their businesses, and with our new Whitechapel club, been able to help thousands more.<\/p>\n

What are you hoping to achieve in the next year or so?<\/h4>\n

We will be looking to close a funding round and open a number of new clubs.<\/p>\n

What did winning at the Startups Awards mean to you?<\/h4>\n

It was a lovely positive endorsement that we are doing something right.<\/p>\n

Would you recommend entering awards like this?<\/h4>\n

Of course, you’d be mad not too!<\/p>\n
