We would love to introduce you to Ben Thomson, who works for Lumen. Ben’s been with Basestation for a while now, so we thought it was high time we did a Resident Shout Out with him! 

The culture at Basestation has always focused on sustainability, and this has only grown over time as new opportunities and initiatives have developed. 

Making it easy for our residents and customers to engage in our efforts is paramount. 

In a recent white paper published by the World Economic Forum looking at the Rise of Global Digital Jobs, it mentions three main factors that are most likely to transform business and the way we work in the next five years:

 Coworking is more than just a desk and some Wi-Fi. At Basestation, there are a broad range of added bonuses, perks and reasons why you should try coworking with us.

As part of Basestation’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) we sponsor or offer in-kind support to initiatives, events or groups that align with our kaupapa. One of the groups we sponsor on a regular basis is Tauranga Repair Café organised by Tinkd Makerspace. 

Repair Cafés are a global movement that looks to fix domestic items so that they can be saved from being thrown into landfill. 

As we start a new year, it’s a good opportunity to reflect on our impact and the mahi we’ve done over the last 12 months.

By nature, coworking spaces see people come and go - all for different reasons. One thing we strive to keep constant is a welcoming, inclusive community centred on connection. Alongside this, we’ve implemented a number of sustainable practices and remain committed to supporting and championing our wider community. Below, we reflect on some of the impacts these initiatives have had over the past year.
