We’re excited to share the success of our very first TradeTalk event at TradePod, which took place last week – and what a brilliant turnout we had!

Over 50 local tradespeople, business owners and professionals joined us for an evening of networking, conversation and connection. It was fantastic to see so many faces – both familiar and new – come together to support and celebrate the launch of Ringwood’s newest space for the trade community.

The atmosphere on the night was exactly what we hoped for: relaxed, friendly and full of energy. Attendees enjoyed free drinks, a summer BBQ and tried their hand at axe throwing – all while chatting and connecting with fellow businesses from across the local area. We heard plenty of stories shared, ideas exchanged and even some new collaborations taking shape – proving there’s real value in bringing the local trade community together.

The event also gave us the chance to show people round the TradePod facilities – hot desking areas, secure storage facilities, workshop area with tools for hire, meeting rooms and social area.

TradeTalk is all about giving tradespeople and local businesses the chance to connect, share insights, and support each other. As Ringwood’s dedicated hub for the trade sector, TradePod is here to help businesses grow – whether that’s through networking, marketing support or affordable membership options that make a real difference.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and made our first event such a success.

Our next TradeTalk event is on Thursday 24th July, so if you missed this one, don’t worry, join us on the 24th! Find out more and book your place today.

TradePod has been a brilliant move for us at ProStar Energy.

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 has been a game-changer for our business!

We've been using TradePod's facilities for a few months now, and it has completely transformed the way we work. The flexible workspace, well-equipped meeting rooms, and secure workshop provide everything we need to run our business efficiently.

The team is always helpful and responsive. Having access to networking opportunities, training sessions, and storage solutions all in one place is a huge bonus. The environment is professional yet welcoming, making it a great place to focus and grow our business.

Highly recommend TradePod to any tradespeople, small businesses, or startups looking for a practical, well-managed workspace!

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!
