TradePod is a dedicated workspace for tradespeople, offering a professional environment where you can manage your business, meet clients, and network with others in the industry. Located on Ringwood’s Millstream Estate, our hub is built specifically for those in the trade sector, giving them access to essential resources and a community of like-minded professionals.
The idea for TradePod came from entrepreneur Anthony Tilley, who recognised the struggles many tradespeople face when trying to run their business efficiently. From managing admin on the go to lacking a professional space for client meetings, he saw an opportunity to create a dedicated hub where tradespeople could access all the facilities and support they need to thrive.

Why We Created TradePod
The idea for TradePod came from a simple yet common frustration among tradespeople—there was no dedicated space for them to work and manage their business efficiently. Many tradespeople find themselves doing paperwork in vans, meeting clients in noisy coffee shops, or struggling to separate work from home life.
The founders saw a gap in the market and envisioned a place where tradespeople could not only get work done but also benefit from a sense of community, collaboration, and professional support.
We wanted to create a professional, practical, and community-driven space that solves these problems. TradePod gives tradespeople the tools, space, and connections they need to succeed, helping them work smarter, not harder. Whether you’re a sole trader or a growing team, TradePod provides the perfect base to take your trade business to the next level.
