Our Story

Fruitworks coworking is the brain child of Liam Gooding who needed a new office for his company Fruitbowl Media as they were quickly outgrowing their current office space. Finding office space in Canterbury at a reasonable price seemed impossible and we toyed with the idea of moving the company to London but after the additional traveling costs, the figures didn’t add up. What we did discover from looking for office space in London though was a new trend that seemed to be popping up everywhere – coworking!

After some research the team discovered that Canterbury didn’t actually have its own coworking space so we set out to create our own. Whilst searching for office space that could accommodate 20+ people and was close to good transport links as well as inside the Canterbury city walls we found an old Victorian Warehouse for rent. This fitted all of our needs as well as allowing us to create a space that was something special – away from the blue carpets and cream walls 99% of other offices offer.

We were given the keys a few days before the Christmas of 2011 and awkwardly enough was greeted with cream painted brick walls, blue stained carpet and a kitchen that consisted of an old dirty sink being propped up by a broken cupboard being held together with duct tape.

After months of paint stripping, floor sanding, painting and kitchen installing we officially opened our doors on the 23rd February 2012. It took a lot of time and effort to get it to the stage that we were happy to call our space – and could not have done it without the help of all our volunteers (aka friends) – who we are forever grateful for.
