Work on transforming a former pub into a co-working hub for entrepreneurs has been completed
Denbighshire County Council used £312,000 of funding through the European Regional Development Fund and the Welsh Government to create the office accommodation at the semi-derelict Costigan’s building on Bodfor Street, Rhyl.
Accommodation for around 20 business start-ups in flexible accommodation has been created with space to host events and a coffee shop on site.
Startup and coworking experts, TownSq has been chosen by Denbighshire County Council to take on the building which is expected to be used to support businesses, create jobs and grow the local economy.
Cllr Hugh Evans, Leader of Denbighshire County Council, said: “This new space will be used to support entrepreneurship and business, creating a “hub for existing and start-up small and micro businesses, encouraging them to set up or to use the town centre as their base.”
TownSq, which also manages spaces in Wrexham is now looking to recruit a Community Manager for the hub.
Carl Turner, Senior Community Manager for TownSq, said: “There’s a huge amount of potential in Rhyl and we’re proud to be the team that will help give the next wave of entrepreneurs the supportive start they need.”
