A business community in Leamington Spa

"Mill Street is the team I never had."

That's how one member put it. When you're here five days a month, you dip into the community. When you're here five days a week, it becomes your safety net, sounding board and secret weapon. Members get access to a wealth of expertise, from skilled freelancers and business owners to local charities and industry professionals, all in one building.

The best collaborations don't happen online. They happen over coffee, in the breakout areas, and in those "got a minute?" chats that turn into opportunities.

Looking for someone? We'll introduce you.

Tell our community team what you need, whether it's a designer, an accountant, an investor or a running buddy, and we'll make the intro over coffee.

Proper good company.

Home to 120+ businesses, from one-person startups to the University of Warwick.
