Our Elevator Story Pitch (for our customers):

Most entrepreneurs struggle and feel lonely on their journey with no one to share ideas and challenges. On top of that London’s workspaces come at a huge cost for small businesses with no cash to spare. As a result, more than 65% of businesses fail within 3 years.

At Mainyard Studios, we make it our mission to create the best value workspaces for creative professionals. Here you’ll be able to focus on your business and find the help you need because you’ll be part of a tribe ofbusiness owners on the same path, and you won’t break your bank on the rent.

-----------------------------------------------------------

So hopefully you get it, the Mainyard Studios team wake up every morning to help business owners save money, focus their time, connect daily with other business owners and grow their companies.

We make it our business to deliver the best value coworking spaces, private offices, music studios, podcast studios and maker-spaces by creating environments that support productivity, by striving to offer the most affordable rents compared to other multi-site workspace providers and by getting to know all of the people in our spaces so that we can connect them with others and resources to help them grow.

We started in 2012, when co-founders Remi & Tori took over a derelict factory near their home in Hackney Wick, East London. They worked 2 jobs and threw parties in the space to raise capital. They worked all available hours, day or night doing most of the building work themselves with upcycled and scavenged materials to transform the unloved building into a place where an entrepreneurial community could thrive.

Now in 2022, Mainyard Studios is a growing affordable workspace provider and home to 450+ businesses from multiple industries housed in the various coworking spaces, offices, music studios, and maker spaces in 12 sites spread across 6 London boroughs.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Our Team’s Key Characteristics:
1. Focused on Growth - In business, we are profit minded because if we don’t think about the bottom line, everything fall apart. Personally, we strive for continuous self-improvement.
2. Unshakable Character: Character isn't something you were born with and can't change, like your fingerprints. It's something you must take responsibility for forming.
3. Result Driven - We know the right work to do and we give it our best. We focus on what matters to make a difference and help each other succeed.

Critical Actions:
1. We Learn: we are constantly learning about business and how to optimise because it adds value to ourselves, to the company and to the interactions we have with our residents
2. We Connect: Every day, make the effort to acknowledge residents and help them connect with the people they need to grow
3. We make great first impression: we (everyone in the MYS team) keep ours space photo ready at all time, even the places that are not always seen

On Top Of those we believe in:
· Humour – We work hard however we don’t take ourselves too seriously! Getting offended and taking things too personally is a waste of time. Let's focus on how to make progress.
· Collaboration over Competition - There are always opportunities to connect with others and grow together. Share what you know. Help others to do the same.
· Progress over perfection - Stay curious, ask questions and take action! Challenge the status quo to show you are participating in life.
· Leadership - Every member of the Mainyard Team must be a Leader in their own right. Care for the well-being and growth of the company as if it is your own. Take responsibility even when no one is around to see you do it.
· No drama - Because life is too short not to find peace, joy and to knuckle down and problem solve!
