Our Business Incubators aim to encourage and support your ambitions for

you can continue to operate from our Incubator. Unless of course you
have grown too big for us. You can have a maximum of 2 units and we
have a variety of office sizes, but when you need more then this we
will help you move on to bigger things.

At Berwick WorkSpace, we have an allocation of 2 disabled parking spaces
on the site, which are approximately a 50m walk from the main entrance.
There is no other on-site parking, but due to our prime location, any
of the town centre car parks are within a short walking distance. The
nearest car park is on Walkergate or Church Street.
