The Junction

The Junction is an ideal location for start ups and expanding business in the areas of software, new product development, industrial design, multi-media and renewable energies. These sectors reflect the strong indigenous and emerging sectors in the Midland region. Tenants benefit from this co-working environment and business support, mentoring and assistance from Local Enterprise Office Offaly. The Junction is a collaborative approach between Offaly County Council, Local Enterprise Office Offaly and Offaly Local Development Company and the tenants benefit from competitive rates and other supports

The Junction gave me a pleasant, well-equipped working environment with high specification telecoms that provided a formal business address without having to pay high-street rent and rates. Co-located with other start-ups, it created an entrepreneurial atmosphere that certainly would not have been available in a home-office scenario. It also solved the issue of isolation in working from home. All in all, it is a very modest facility cost that provided me with a superb office solution.

The Junctions high speed internet access and quite work focused space was exactly what I needed, it allows me to work from home one day per week which is of huge value. My day starts later and finishes earlier, cutting out 3 hours of driving.

Working at TheJunction has allowed me to bring my business up to date with the times embracing webinars, online meetings and bringing my business online. The natural networking that occurs is proving very benefical also.
