Our journey
21 years in the making
At SO Fourteen, we take pride in the fact we’re no ordinary coworking space. We began our journey in 1997, so we understand the aspirations and challenges that drive business people. Take a look at our team and why we believe a membership at SO Fourteen can play an important part in your journey too.
SO Fourteen is born out of our 21-year long journey in building a group of businesses that are dedicated to working with and supporting entrepreneurs and SMEs.
Starting a business requires guts and can be a lonely place when you are first setting out, but SO Fourteen provides a professional and creative environment for you to get your ideas off the ground.
Supported by the Hilton-Baird Group, SO Fourteen additionally gives you access to decades of experience in finance, marketing, IT, business planning and mentoring, as well as an extensive network of local professionals to provide you with the building blocks necessary to succeed.
