News | Central - Exciting New Workspace in the Heart of London
Shell LiveWIRE's Paul Lancaster discovers an exciting new workspace development taking place in central London.
At the recent launch event for Emma Jones' The Start-Up Kit, Shell LiveWIRE's own Paul Lancaster bumped into Steve Pette and James Layfield - serial entrepreneurs and founders of an exciting new workspace development in the heart of London called 'Central'.
Steve and James are the epitomy of all that is great about British business with an irrepressible enthusiasm, can do attitude and willingness to try new things.
This was highlighted by the fact that although they had only just met that evening, the pair kindly invited Paul down to sit in on their planning meeting the next morning at the office of James' award-winning marketing agency The Lounge.
Paul said "I feel very privileged to have sat in on the meeting and the plans for the new development look very exciting. There's clearly a lot of thought and effort gone into the project already and I can't wait to see the finished article when it opens in April 2011".
