Social Connections
“The PorterShed makes such a big difference. It provides a social atmosphere and the ability to really focus while upstairs and then to come downstairs to socialise in the kitchen. It provides that happiness at work where – even if you loved your job elsewhere, I don’t think you’d get that same feeling just sat at your desk on your own.”
