Castleblayney Hub
Castleblayney Hub
A good fit for border based remote workers
The golden ticket of ‘location, location, location,’ applies to the Monaghan Hub in Castleblayney.
Close to the N2 it is also a pleasant walk from a vibrant town centre which has welcomed new companies and enterprises in the last year.
Based at Castleblayney Enterprise Centre on the Dublin Road, the hub provides privacy booths, mini-offices and hot desks and the reliable connectivity offers reduced hours spent commuting.
Popular with workers, including some where the employer is based two hour drive away, the hub has seen a growth in demand in recent months.
There is ample free parking, and it is a five minute walk from popular cafes and shops as well as being a short stroll from the gates to the breath-taking Lough Muckno.
Hub manager Tommy McGuire said, “less time travelling or spent driving, means you are not just reducing your carbon footprint but on top of that, you are actually getting to spend more time at home and quality time at home with family because you are not working from home.”
“I think that’s key to what we are doing – giving people the opportunity to have that better quality of life through providing this hub.”
“Our location close to the town centre means we are helping to contribute to the local economy so when you go for a stroll to buy your lunch or pick up a coffee, you might also pop in and get a present for someone. We give an opportunity to benefit retailers in our town centre.”
“Our sense of community is very strong in Castleblayney and that adds to the welcome for our Hub users.”
“One of the strengths of our organisation is that we are a social enterprise. This means we have a great blend of both enterprise and social and educational services and we like to think we adapt to change very quickly.”
“In fact the hub was developed because of Covid when we became aware of the need for it. By providing it in this building, we brought new people and new energy in. No two days are the same here and we think we have brought something new and special to the hub users too.”
