What Coworking mean to us:
Coworking (no hyphen please) has always meant community to me and for the past eight
Our people are what makes us so unique, and the community is our greatest asset, not our space. While we work hard to provide resources like a cool inspiring place to gather and work, we make sure our focus is also on making an impact on the lives of our internal and external community. As a community hub, we work hard to offer relevant resources, access to events, and opportunities for connections to be made.
So when you’re searching for that perfect “office” or perfect “network” why not consider combining the two and do something truly amazing for yourself and your business. Consider joining a coworking community! If you take the time to engage and you’re open to the concept, I promise it will be one of the best decisions you’ve ever made.
The Candy Factory is a community of 200 + incredibly talented professionals, housed in a beautiful old warehouse in Lancaster City. Not only will you get work done, you’ll meet some truly inspiring people.
Want to see it all for yourself and meet some cool folks? Click here to schedule a tour today and we’ll be happy to introduce you to our community.
