Running a successful trades business comes with a lot of challenges – not least managing overheads and keeping on top of administration. Between finding suitable office space, handling bookings, storing tools, and managing paperwork, the costs and time demands quickly add up. That’s where TradePod comes in.

TradePod is a dedicated co-working space designed specifically for tradespeople based in Ringwood, Hampshire. Whether you’re a plumber, electrician, builder, or decorator, moving your business into TradePod could be the key to slashing costs, streamlining your operations, and focusing on what you do best.

Cut Your Overheads with Shared Facilities

One of the biggest expenses for small trade businesses is renting an office or storage space. TradePod eliminates this worry with affordable, flexible workspaces tailored to your needs. Here’s how we help you save:

  • No need for a costly office lease – Access our professional work environment without the long-term commitment of a traditional lease.
  • Shared meeting rooms – Host client consultations and supplier meetings in a professional setting without paying for your own office.
  • Secure tool storage – Avoid paying for additional storage units and keep your essential tools safe on-site.
  • Printing and admin facilities – Save on expensive office equipment with access to shared printers, scanners, and admin support.

Reduce Administration and Stay Organised

Trades businesses often find themselves drowning in admin, from processing invoices to scheduling jobs. TradePod provides the tools and support to help keep your business running smoothly:

  • Shared office support – No need to hire admin staff when you can utilise TradePod’s facilities for paperwork, invoicing, and planning.
  • Reliable Wi-Fi and workstations – Catch up on emails, manage projects, and handle customer enquiries in a distraction-free environment.
  • Business networking and collaboration – Connect with other tradespeople to share referrals, supplier discounts, and advice.

A Professional Image Without the Cost

First impressions matter, and working from a shared professional space rather than a noisy café or your van can make all the difference when securing new clients. At TradePod, you’ll benefit from:

  • A credible business address to use on your website and correspondence.
  • A professional setting for meeting customers and suppliers.
  • A community of like-minded tradespeople, fostering trust and collaboration.
  • Discounted rates on marketing, social media and lead generation to help you grow your business.

Since joining, it’s honestly changed the way we work. The workspace is flexible, the meeting rooms are spot-on, and having a secure workshop is a massive bonus—it’s everything we need in one place.

The team at TradePod are always friendly and helpful, and the extras like networking events, training sessions, and storage make a real difference. It’s a professional setup, but still has a relaxed, welcoming vibe that makes it easy to get stuff done and grow the business.

We’d definitely recommend TradePod to other tradespeople or small businesses looking for a solid, well-run space to work from.

TradePod: The Workshop We Never Knew We Needed!

“
As a bespoke furniture business, we’re used to working with wood, but let’s be honest – working from home meant more sawdust in the kitchen than on the workbench! Enter TradePod, our new second home (minus the nagging about mess).

The workshops are spacious, the coffee is strong, and the Wi-Fi actually works – which is more than we can say for our old office setup! Having access to proper meeting rooms means we can finally meet clients somewhere that doesn’t smell like wood stain.

The team here is great, always happy to help (or at least pretend to laugh at our terrible carpenter jokes). If you’re a tradesperson or small business looking for a well-equipped, hassle-free space to work, TradePod is the place to be. Just be warned – once you’re here, you may never want to leave!
