Description

The Liskeard Creative and Digital Workspace project was approved by Cornwall Council in November 2019 with construction starting on site in June 2021. The project is creating high quality office and workshop space for micro & Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) on the Liskeard Cattle Market site, owned by Cornwall Council. The workspace scheme ('The Workshed') comprises 17 offices/workspaces and two co-working spaces over 2 floors with an internal area of 1,307m2 for businesses to rent. The workspace will be targeted at businesses within the creative and digital industries. The scheme also includes a market canopy and enhanced public realm. Completion of the capital build is scheduled for September 2022. An organisation is required to manage the 'Workshed' and work collaboratively with Cornwall Council to provide a flexible and adaptable place of work for a host of digital and creative businesses, making Liskeard a 'creative magnet' for South East Cornwall and delivering against local ambitions to maximise the economic and cultural benefits of the regeneration of the former cattle market site. The scope of services is expected to include the following: • Market, manage, promote and encourage the use of the co-working space on the ground floor, helping the occupants to flourish & grow; • Oversee the general running of the workspace with the support of Cornwall Council's Property Team; • To open and close the building at times to be agreed; • To liaise with the office/work-space occupiers on day-to-day queries; • Work with tenants/occupiers and users of the Workshed and other stakeholders to build a supportive network of creative and digital businesses.
