The Trampery opens co-working space in East London

Shared workspace provider The Trampery has partnered with global advertising services group Publicis Worldwide to open a new co-working space in Old Street, East London.

At the centre of London’s technology cluster, the co-working space known as The Trampery Old Street is the main location for a global partnership to promote collaboration between corporates and entrepreneurs.

It is the fifth shared workspace launched by London-based firm The Trampery, which was founded in 2009 by entrepreneur Charles Armstrong.

Over 300 companies are said to have started and grown at Trampery venues across London, and the Old Street hub will be the first to explicitly focus on sparking interaction between startups and established businesses, through the co-created “Publicis Drugstore”.

The Drugstore will offer managed incubators that will see entrepreneurs and corporates working side-by-side onsite, open innovation platforms, specially convened hackathons and a Supper Club to bring together a diverse range of entrepreneurs and executives.

Trampery founder Charles Armstrong told Tech City News, “We are increasingly seeing an appetite among the corporate community to harness the innovation and creativity of start-ups, which brings significant mutual benefits.”

Dylan Williams, chief strategy and innovation officer at Publicis Worldwide, said, “We will be able to help businesses large and small collaborate to best capture some amazing opportunities.”
