DARLINGTON WORKSPACE - Key Persons


Ben Ridley

Job Titles:
  • Operations Support
Helping businesses have a simple transition into their office space or our coworking facility and being here to help as much as I can, makes for a very rewarding job. Learning new skills, meeting new people and watching their businesses develop is a very positive experience. My favourite thing about working here though, is being part of a great team. They make every day fun and enjoyable!

Daniel Sanderson

Job Titles:
  • Operations Support
We want everyone to feel like they're part of a community as soon as they enter one of our buildings and to be happy while they work and run their business. I share the excitement they have when they move in - it's a proud moment for a business owner when they get their own space and I want to help them to feel comfortable in their new-found business community.

Ian Frostwick

Job Titles:
  • Operations Support
Having previously worked as an operations director, I have a wealth of experience of dealing with business space and facilities. I love to welcome and work with businesses joining our community, and to make sure they feel at home. It's great getting to know the people that locate here and I take pride in ensuring everything is working efficiently for them so they can focus on their business.

Margaret Binns

Job Titles:
  • Executive Assistant
I have worked as Services Executive since March 2015 when Business Central opened. You will find me on reception meeting and greeting visitors and staff. I ensure the smooth running of the centre. My work also involves a lot of administration relating to the tenants and their offices. The best part of my job is meeting and chatting to people who visit and getting to know the tenants.

Vanessa Wood

Job Titles:
  • Centre Manager
I joined as Centre Manager when Business Central was just a building site and have seen it flourish to the fantastic office space it is today. Now I've poured everything I learned about what makes a successful business environment into the design of the new Innovation Central. Our team is very much focused on creating a community, not just a place to work from but to feel an alliance to.
