FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS COWORKING?

Collaborative Working (“Co-working”) is a global movement that is helping today’s generation of entrepreneurs and creators to realize their vision through collaborative efforts in shared creative spaces.

Physical and technological resources are shared, including the invaluable ideas, expertise, and knowledge among the membership.

DO I NEED TO SIGN A LEASE?

No need to get wrapped up in a long-term rental agreement. Part of the genius of a co-working space is that you won’t have to sign a lease. We have affordable monthly rates, and you can cancel at any time with one months notice after your initial 3 month sign up.

CAN I BRING CLIENTS OR GUESTS TO THE OFFICE?

Of course! We know looking professional is of the utmost importance to you. Feel free to hold meetings in our bookable meeting room. We use a shared calendar in Slack, so you can book well ahead of time! We do ask you limit your guest visits to the meeting room and not in the shared space, so others won’t be disturbed.

WHAT IF I NEED TO MAKE A PRIVATE CALL?

No problem! As a member you have access to the bookable meeting room for scheduled conference calls. The shared office space is open planned, so for sensitive conversation we suggest booking the meeting room, or stepping out on the deck. Have a chat with other members working that day- we find with the music on, low volume calls aren’t disruptive.

WHO USES A CO-WORKING SPACE?

While it may seem that co-working spaces are only for millennials, that isn’t the truth. When you work in a co-working space, you’ll work next to people of all ages, and with all kinds of talents. You’ll find entrepreneurs, artists, coders, writers, freelancers, developers, and nearly any type of employee you can think of. You may meet people from other countries or your neighbor down the street. Co-working spaces are for anyone who needs an extra desk, a meeting room, and a place to work.

At 51Jellicoe our current members include: Toast Martinborough’s main office, Tommy’s Real Estate, employees of Meridian General Brokers and Be Intellegent Ltd. And many self-employed members, building their businesses in our vibrant space.

CAN I WORK ALL HOURS?

You’re a night owl, huh? Some of us get our best work done at night, or in the wee hours of early morning. At 51 Jellicoe we’re ALWAYS ON- our office is open 24-7. Because sometimes life hits us with inspiration at 2 am. With top security and individual access codes, 24/7 access is a breeze!

CAN I HAVE A DEDICATED DESK?

We have dedicated desks and hot desks! Hot Desks are communal desks available for members to use as they please. If you see an unoccupied desk, you’re welcome to use it.

If you’re interested in a Dedicated Desk, please get in touch, as this option is not listed in our basic memberships.

DO YOU OFFER FAST AND RELIABLE INTERNET?

We have dual band WiFi as well as wired connection ports available. The maximum Internet speed is 200/200 mbps making our connection one of the fastest, if not the fastest in town making 51 Jellicoe the smart destination for remote workers.

WHAT ABOUT NETWORK SECURITY?

We take network security seriously and run a stateful inspection firewall and Content/Malware filtering to help make 51 Jellicoe safer than most workspaces. There is even a seperate network for visitors to use that is isolated from member computers and shared resources.

Whilst we do our best to protect all of our users, ultimately we do not control the computers that may be connected to the network (as it is a shared space) so we strongly recommend you run personal firewall and anti-virus software too. And don't forget to keep your data backups current.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING?

Our members come from a variety of industries, sectors, and professions. We provide the collaborative space and office technology to help you enhance your productivity. Members should bring the necessary items you’ll need to be productive in your work, and within reason.

WHAT AMENITIES CAN I EXPECT?

Every space is different, but at 51 Jellicoe we offer you free tea & coffee and kitchen facilities, high-speed Internet, break areas with couches and tables, a professional business address, and more! Did we mention free parking?
