In the last decade, Smith has published nine coffee-table guides, released four compilation CDs and, late last year, launched new brand Smith & Family, exclusively dedicated to child-friendly hotels (smithandfamily.co.uk). As CEO, James takes charge of the business’s strategy and development and takes a leading role in determining the look and feel of the Smith brands.

MR & MRS SMITH
Hotelier meeting We have hoteliers visiting us almost daily from all over the world; it gives our Travel team a fantastic opportunity to hear about the latest developments first-hand and gives our Hotel Relations team the chance to have face-to-face time with the people they’re used to dealing with by phone and email every day. It’s also important for me to keep on top of what’s happening with our hotel collection. We’re often asked to comment on travel trends – from hotel design to restaurant offerings – so it’s vital that I know what I’m talking about!

JAMES 08
mith’s CEO and co-founder James Lohan is a serial entrepreneur, starting his business career by founding Atomic, which organised London parties and events and has continued working in industries he is passionate about ever since. He co-founded restaurant and members’ club the White House and then turned his attentions to boutique hotels. Since Mr & Mrs Smith’s first guidebook was published under the Spy Publishing imprint in 2003, Smith has grown from a labour of love to a multifaced boutique travel provider, developing an online booking service, a 24 hour in-house reservations team and a three-tiered membership programme that includes a full travel concierge service. Smith has been a Workspace customer since 2011 and has expanded its space to accommodate the company’s growing business.
Lunch meeting High Road House is just five minutes down the road, so I might meet up with a potential business partner there to talk about the possibilities for co-operation. It could be the owner of Brompton Bikes, the marketing director of Audi or the entrepreneurs behind an exciting new start-up. At Smith we work with an array of like-minded brands in many different ways but essentially we ‘trade’ audiences through engaging promotional ideas.
Cowley Manor The Cotswolds
Operations meeting Our COO and I regularly meet in Sam’s Brasserie next door to discuss what’s happening as we continually evolve the company’s structure or fine-tune its output and priorities. This could be anything from agreeing our global marketing spend to focusing on a single department’s efficiency. It’s also a great time to talk about the team and who might need more help or direction.
18:00
Sam’s Brasserie is just next door and has a great, relaxed atmosphere
16:30
Back at the office I normally have heaps to catch up on by this point in the day. We communicate frequently with our members by email, so I might be signing off one of our newsletters or offer promotions. If I’ve just got back from a hotel visit, I could be writing a blog post about our recent stay at, say, Finca Cortesin in Marbella, or penning a review of Cowley Manor in the Cotswolds for Smith & Family.
15:00
Grab a coffee from the Barley Café I’ll pick up a coffee from Ray’s (incidentally, his bacon rolls are a key part of the Smith editorial department’s incentivisation programme!) and spend some time working with our designers and editorial team on whatever projects we have on the go. It could be planning a booklet we’re producing for a tourist board, brainstorming branding for a new product or redesigning aspects of the websites, mrandmrssmith.com or smithandfamily.co.uk.

Breakfast meeting We live just 10 minutes from our office in the Barley Mow Centre, so I tend to get in early for a chance to catch up over Skype with one of our regional directors. We discuss their region’s performance, upcoming projects and concerns and I update them on global developments from HQ here in London.
Event at Lime Wood My evenings often entail a launch party for something (maybe a new hotel, bar or restaurant), an awards ceremony (where hopefully we win something!) or some other event at which I think I might make new contacts to work with. These events are a great source of inspiration and often it will spark new ideas that I think we can work into the fabric of Smith. If there are no events or dinner engagements with investors or interesting people afterwards, I head home for bedtime stories with the kids at 7.30pm, something simple to eat and a bit of trash TV to switch off from the day – Britain’s Got Talent is my current guilty pleasure.

Development stand-up meeting My whole department gathers in a corner of the office to assess how each team member is getting on. These meetings are critical as they ensure each developer knows which part of the site’s code others are working on, so they don’t tread on each other’s toes.

Wireframe meeting We have a new project that is at the very start of its life – before it comes into the development department for coding, we need to put it through a wireframing process. This meeting is to get the key stakeholders, designers, content creators and project managers together to determine the architecture of what my team will ultimately be building.
Analysis I catch up with Hiten, my e-commerce analyst, to make sure he’s got all the data he needs for the reports he’s working on. We look at them together and see if there’s anything interesting coming out that’s actionable. It’s also my last chance to go over things with Toby, my tech director, make sure we know of any issues, what the team are working on and whether we need to let our Australian developers know of anything urgent overnight.

o-founder and CTO Tamara Heber-Percy grew up between Ibiza and Shropshire, graduating from Oxford with a degree in languages. She has worked in marketing on both agency and client-side for brands such as Ericsson, Honda, Unilever and Swissair. In 2002, she left to head up her own company, the County Register – an exclusive introductions agency – and to launch Mr & Mrs Smith. Combining travel expertise with technological knowledge, Tamara has been the architect behind the development of Mr & Mrs Smith’s e-commerce websites. As CTO, Tamara heads up the international development team and is responsible for the technology behind the website and the booking engine, as well as e-commerce innovations and consumer integration. Along with the help of her specialists, she has masterminded an array of technological innovations at Mr & Mrs Smith, including creating proprietary systems to enable rates and availability management, travel-agent interfaces, SEO strategies, introducing consumer-generated content and co-ordinating the launches of Smith Travel Blog, smithandkids.com, smithandfamily.co.uk and Smith’s ‘Plan and Play’ iPhone app.
New business I’ve got a couple of big partnerships I’m working on and these take up quite a bit of my time; meeting partners to discuss how we can work together; formulating contracts, agreements and letters of intent.

Photoshoot at the Ampersand Photoshoots are pretty frequent these days – it could be for a campaign we’re running ourselves or to accompany pieces about us in the press. Today, I’m having my picture taken for a feature in Marie Claire about entrepreneurship and my mentoring a fashion start-up..
Press interview I hop on the phone for a media interview: this morning it’s a women’s magazine who want to know what my tips are for long-haul packing, what luggage we use, which gadgets I find essential – and, inevitably, how I find working in the same office as my husband.
11:45
09:30
The school run After being woken up by our kids, the start of my day is marked by the arrival of my daily stats email – it tells me instantly what the company did the day before and whether we had any server issues. Then it’s straight into the morning routine: dropping my eldest at school; calling in at Laveli Bakery on South Parade with my daughter for a croissant and hot chocolate and leaving my, by then, chocolate-covered daughter with the nursery staff at Caterpillar.
Morning catch-up At the office, I organise a Google Hangout with the development team in Australia. The time difference obviously makes communication tricky, so if we can talk before they leave the office it really helps. Then I’ll catch up with our team here to make sure everything’s on track and iron out any issues. At any one time, we have at least two big projects on the go (most recently, these have been building smithandfamily.co.uk, completely redesigning the Mr & Mrs Smith website and planning a new members’ hub for our customers).

I’M NOT AFRAID OF BEING LABELLED A GEEK: I LOVE THE DATA SIDE OF MY JOB!
Networking event at Soho Hotel These days, I find myself invited to take part in more and more panel discussions or to speak about the tech side of travel at industry events. Today, I’ve been asked to do a Q&A session at the Soho Hotel, speaking to women in business for Management Today. I much prefer these more conversational events – it’s a great opportunity for me to meet and speak to some really interesting people.
Lunch in Chiswick I’ll head to Gail’s for a coffee and a salad. I’ll often catch up with one of the team – it’s a good chance to get out of the office, discuss how things are going and see what’s on track or what needs attention. 11

In the mix.. Hosted by Workspace & Club Workspace Bankside After a successful debut two months ago, the Workspace / Club Mixer made its triumphant return. Our mixer nights are an opportunity for Club Workspace members to connect with established Workspace customers after a hard day’s work. The event was hosted at Club Workspace Bankside and was the brainchild of Leon Marshall, Club Workspace host with the most. As the bottles were shared around, the venue began to hum with the sound of new and growing business conversation. Then came the main event. The networking is an amuse-bouche for the piece-de-resistance: the Member Presentations. At every Workspace / Club Mixer a couple of businesses take to the stage to share their start-up and growing business stories…

With key players from politics, press, entrepreneurship and property at our Club Workspace Kennington, we threw a party that was all about our customers. But that doesn’t mean we merely invited our members – even though there were quite a few of them at the event! We collaborated with them to build an event that was designed to show them off. We teamed up with DigitalBinx, a social media agency and Club Workspace member, to make our launch event ‘go social’. They organised an excellent Instagram competition and loads of attendees got snap happy and shared their pics of our new Club using the #CWNewClub tag.
What’s with the prawns, I hear you say? Peter Mandeno, founder of Wok+Wine and also a Club Workspace member, organises events all around the world. The concept is simple: combine some interesting wine, several woks full of sizzling jumbo prawns and add a room buzzing with people who are keen to mingle. The result of this tasty equation is a Club Workspace full of satisfied customers, who spent a good proportion of the night glugging chilled wine and sucking out the meat from a jumbo prawn’s head.

SUCCESS STORY SHOPITIZE GROWS WITH WORKSPACE
Club Workspace is a great place for entrepreneurs with big ideas to start! Juliet Chen Marketing Manager, Shopitize
Shopitize started at Club Workspace in 2011 and have since gone on to great things in the world of smart shopping apps! They are currently based in a Workspace studio at The Leathermarket, SE1.
Alexey Andriyanenko and Irina Pafomova, co-founders, Shopitize
HI SHOPITIZE! FOR THOSE WHO DON’T KNOW, WHAT DO YOU DO? Shopitize is a London start-up whose mission is to create a world where all shoppers effortlessly receive personalised recommendations and offers on products that they need and love. Our platform directly connects people with the brands they love and rewards them for sharing information about how they spend. The concept is based on four R’s – Receipts, Reports, Reminders and Rewards; it’s set to revolutionise shopping in the UK and the world over. The more people that join Shopitize, the more the system will learn and the more sophisticated the rewards will become, saving both time and money for consumers and the brands.
18
SHOPITIZE AT THE LEATHERMARKET
In short, Shopitize is set to change the nature of how people shop and how brands can use promotion to connect with their consumers. WHY DO YOU THINK IT’S GONE SO WELL FOR YOUR BUSINESS? As we developed the business idea we conducted a lot of research on the concept. We also recruited very experienced advisors and mentors in the relevant industries to confirm the scalability and potential of our business model. Listening carefully and having the flexibility to adjust quickly have been very important. BACK TO YOUR ROOTS: WHEN AND WHERE WERE YOU FOUNDED? It was a sunny day in summer 2010, and the three would-be co-founders were brainstorming ideas at a Belgian
café. We were all looking to start something new and were inspired by how today’s youngsters have made smartphones such an integral part of their lives. We evaluated a lot of different concepts, but kept coming back to a core idea that people should be rewarded differently, based on their loyalty to specific products and brands. It was a couple of days later while shopping that we looked at a receipt and thought: “That’s it – the receipt contained all the key information to make our system work.” And that was when Shopitize was born. From there, it didn’t take long for us to realise that our idea and business model could apply to all sectors, age groups and geographies. It had real potential to cause significant market disruption!
WHEN DID SHOPITIZE MOVE INTO CLUB WORKSPACE? We were a little less than a year old when we moved into Club Workspace. We had outgrown the borrowed conference room at one of our advisors and were looking for a space that would give us flexibility to collaborate as we grew.
HOW MUCH DID THE SHOPITIZE TEAM GROW SINCE YOU MOVED INTO CLUB WORKSPACE? We grew from a full time team of four to an extended team of more than eight before we took our own office through the Club Workspace network.
WHY WAS CLUB WORKSPACE THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR YOU? Club Workspace is a great place for entrepreneurs with big ideas and helps them start up their business! It provided us with the flexibility that we needed at the early stage of our development.
WHERE ARE YOU BASED NOW? Although we have graduated from Club Workspace, we haven’t moved far away! We currently have our own office space in the Leathermarket which is part of Workspace Group; this enables us to maintain a very close relationship with our network at Club Workspace.
We also met many people who have helped us grow along the way – several of whom have since become part of our team.
WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE PLANS? We are very focused on the end user experience. Since we released our iPhone and Android apps to public beta,
we have received a lot of support and valuable feedback which has helped us refine our experience. Once we finish our beta, personalised offers will be our key focus. We’ve had great conversations with brands who are very interested in our vision and are excited about the potential to directly engage with their power users. So this year, building these partnerships and delivering offers to shoppers are the most important focus points for us. Our mission to revolutionise shopping is not a simple one, but we will continue to innovate! We have just won the honour to be the top 20 innovators at the Cisco British Innovation Gateway Awards, which is really encouraging for us to move forward in our quest! shopitize.com

BULLDOG
Wake up I am normally woken up bright and early by my daughter, Olive, who’s 2 3⁄4. A couple of days a week I might go to an early boxing session at 7am – I train with Pete Liggins at Box Clever Sports, who used to have an office at Pall Mall. Coffee If I’m having an ‘office day’, I will pop down to The Gallery Café at Pall Mall Deposit for a midmorning coffee – I have become good friends with the staff there, probably because Edith makes the best coffee in West London!
My bathroom at home is full of Bulldog products and lab samples for possible new ones. Often I spend my mornings at home trying out new moisturisers, deodorants, shower gels, or face scrubs. There’s nothing better than starting off the day with a refreshing shave with our Original Shave Gel. Pete’s fitness sessions are probably the hardest workouts I’ve ever known!

A DAY-IN-THE-LIFE INTERVIEW Reception area at Pall Mall Deposit
Product development meeting We spend a lot of time developing and creating new products. For this we work in collaboration with a couple of other individuals and companies. Bulldog’s requirements to use natural, ethical, sustainably sourced ingredients mean that we have strict formulation guidelines. We never use ingredients that have been tested on animals or that come from animal sources. We work with experts to help us formulate the products and to work on new blends of essential oils.
We’re a small team – just four of us in the office, so it’s vital we all know what each other is doing. I am mainly responsible for the outward-facing elements of Bulldog, so this could involve attending award ceremonies, doing press interviews and meeting with buyers and suppliers. 20

I scream, you scream, we all scream for eye cream. New product released
Meeting with a UK retailer I tend to do a bit of everything in the company, but one of my major focuses is developing our UK sales. This may mean travelling to meetings with our retail partners. Last week I spent a day in Nottingham talking with some of the buyers from Boots. These might involve promoting new plans, discussing product development and keeping them up-to-date on our marketing plans.

imon and Rhodri initially got Bulldog off the ground by combining their life savings and maxing-out credit cards to scrape together just under £37,000. Today, the range is listed in over 10,000 stores worldwide and successfully competes with leading multi-national brands, despite working with a fraction of their resources.

IN GENERAL I HAVE THREE TYPES OF DAY: OFFICE-BASED IN LONDON, TRAVELLING AROUND THE UK, OR AWAY ON AN OVERSEAS TRIP. FOR ME, AN IDEAL WEEK WOULD HAVE A BIT OF ALL THREE!
Catch up with paperwork When I’m back in the office, there is always lots of day-to-day admin to keep up with. I like to stay on top of marketing, social media activity and customer feedback emails – it’s always good to keep plugged-in with our customers and I really enjoy this part of my day. We’re a small team at Bulldog but we work well together and always have lots of fun! Rhodri, who co-founded the company with me, takes charge of the financial side of the business, including operations and forecasting. We also have Ben and Angela who work on press and marketing and oversee communications, social media and our rapidly growing Christmas gift programme – yes, we’re already planning ahead!

Probably around 25% of my time is spent travelling overseas
Home time! I try to leave the office around 6pm, so I can pick my daughter up from her nanny on the way home. Sometimes there can be late nights, but I try to get away from my desk and switch off from work so I can spend some quality time with my wife and daughter.
Bulldog’s Original Moisturiser is the company’s best seller and is out-performing every single Gillette skincare product and most of the L’Oreal and Nivea skincare products in the UK. Bulldog is currently the fastest growing major men’s skincare brand in the UK. All Bulldog products are body friendly and don’t contain controversial man-made chemicals such as parabens, sodium laureth sulfate, artificial colours or synthetic fragrances. Instead, Bulldog products are loaded with essential oils and other amazing natural actives to deliver superb skincare results. The products are not tested on animals and never contain ingredients derived from animal sources. The BUAV certify the range as “cruelty free”. Following Bulldog’s nationwide launch with Sainsbury’s in July 2007, the brand experienced fast growth in the UK with further launches in Boots, Tesco, Waitrose, Superdrug, Ocado, Whole Foods Market and Planet Organic. Since Bulldog’s Swedish launch in 2010 the brand has also been expanding quickly overseas and can now also be found in Norway, Denmark, Spain, Germany, Austria, South Korea, USA, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. The Bulldog range has won numerous important product awards worldwide, including “Men’s Brand of the Year” (2010) in Sweden’s Café Magazine, Shave Gel of the year in America’s Men’s Health 2012 Grooming Awards (the world’s largest men’s magazine) and Best Face Wash in ShortList’s 2012 Grooming Awards. The company has also won the HSBC Start Up Star Award for 2008 and the RSPCA Good Business Award 2008. The Good Shopping Guide from the Ethical Company Association has placed Bulldog at the top of their male and female skincare reports for 2011 and 2012. Simon was placed first in the “Who’s Who in Natural Beauty Top 20” in 2011 and 2012. 23
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
FORMERLY GREAT GUILDFORD BUSINESS SQUARE
UP & COMING By adapting our buildings in response to customers’ needs, Workspace creates unique environments that new and growing businesses aspire to become part of.
METAL BOX FACTORY Bankside SE1
COMING SOON 1889 The Grove, as it was originally known, was acquired by Messrs Barclay & Fry. The site was home to their stationery and tin printing business and the factory produced ornately decorated tins for tobacco, biscuits, tea, coffee and cocoa.
1894 The business prospered and extensions were built in 1894 and 1904, by which time the building reached the size it is today, over 1.25 acres. Whilst stationery remained the mainstay of the business, the contribution of the tin side rose to 49 per cent of turnover between 1905 and 1911.
1921 Four of the leading tin box manufacturers formed The Metal Box & Printing Industries Ltd, later to be known as The Metal Box Company to combat American competition.
1930s The company invested in the fast-expanding canned food industry and were a virtual monopoly in Britain, although tin boxes were in decline.
1939–45 Success was short-lived as German bombers destroyed 70 per cent of the factory during WW2 air raids and tin box printing ceased production in 1941.
A
redevelopment that will create a landmark destination for more than 150 new and growing businesses, complete with a 20,000 sqft rooftop extension. The building will maintain its historical industrial features which will be complemented by a central atrium and enclosed garden. The new studios will offer plenty of natural light and many will have their own rooftop balconies.
24
1950s THE CENTRAL ATRIUM
The factory was re-opened and production re-started, but on a much smaller scale, printing mainly cheques.
1980s Site sold following a decline in business.

reenheath is undergoing a significant redevelopment programme. In its former life the building was home to pharmaceutical manufacturer, Allen & Hanburys. The building will maintain many of its historical features including lab tile floor, blue engineering brick columns and water tower (which will become a two storey office). The new reception will be akin to a modern apothecary and will include a Club Workspace co-working area, cafĂŠ and central light well. Upon completion the centre will become a landmark destination for 120 new and growing businesses.

1874 Allen & Hanburys, a pharmaceutical manufacturer, moved onto the site. They were pioneers in their field, introducing Britons to the joys of cough pastilles and cod liver oil. In the new premises, the firm diversified into producing surgeons’ instruments and built operating tables for Barts Hospital.
1918 The company were almost bombed out of business on the night of the Whitsun bank holiday. A flight of 34 German Gotha bombers had taken off from Belgium with the East End its target. In World War I this part of London was the main target of the enemy. The Gotha that hit Bethnal Green dropped its first bomb at Poplar at 1 1.07pm, then flew onto Bethnal Green, flattening a number of houses and destroying the south west corner of the Allen & Hanburys works, killing three civilians and injuring 17 more.
1922 The firm re-built, bigger and better, and though the building was hit again in World War II, the company survived.
1958 The company was swallowed by chemical giant Glaxo, and today, the brand of Allen & Hanburys still remains as a small part of the GSK portfolio, although its only legacy in the East End is the crumbling sign on a factory wall. 26

his centre has long been host to an array of Highbury’s creative and business-related industries. Formerly manufacturing some of the earliest radios and televisions, the centre is due to be transformed into brand new offices complete with on-site café and Club Workspace co-working lounge. The reception area will feature some of the earliest models of televisions and radios, set against the backdrop of modern Scandinavian furniture. With its close proximity to Highbury & Islington station and the shops of Upper Street the centre is set to be a destination for new and growing business.

FORMERLY ABERDEEN CENTRE 1918 Behind the townhouses that fronted Highbury Grove, a factory was built for A. C. Cossor, a company responsible for some of the important technological advances of the 20th century in radio, television and radar.
1927 The business capitalised on the growing radio market and brought out its self-assembly ‘Melody Maker’.
1936 The first-ever TV programmes were broadcast and Cossor was ready to meet demand with two different receivers. As war approached the company played a crucial role in the development of radar which was later to prove a key factor in the Allied victory.
1945 According to an official Ministry of Information report the utmost secrecy was enforced with staff only told about the transmitter or receiver: never both. By the end of the war almost every combat aircraft operated by the RAF carried at least one item of equipment made by Cossor.
SCREENWORKS Highbury Grove N5
1958 Cossor moved to new premises and Hilger & Watts, producers of precision analytical instruments, moved into Aberdeen Works where they remained until 1972.
1980s Following a number of other occupants the Works began to be used as a business centre in the late 1980s.
1995 The site was acquired by Workspace Group and renamed Aberdeen Centre. 28

INSPIRESME WEEK 2013 WORKSPACE IN THE COMMUNITY Inspiresme Week offers students the opportunity to shadow some of London’s thriving new and growing businesses.
Boris Johnson @MayorofLondon I joined #inspiresmeweek celebrations at City Hall today! Congrats & thanks to all that took part @WorkspaceGroup
WORKSPACE URBAN 20 HOWZAT!
Giving these young and talented entrepreneurs of tomorrow the opportunity to hone their skills further will benefit London’s economy in the years to come. Jamie Hopkins CEO Workspace
Following their experience in the working environment, the final day of the week brings all the students together at City Hall where they are set a business challenge as part of a competition. Working together they present their ideas to a special judging panel comprising entrepreneurs and other well-known figures. The event is hosted by Deputy Mayor for Education and Culture, Munira Mirza.
The Workspace Urban20 cricket tournament is part of Workspace’s E3 community investment programme. This initiative enables engagement between education entrepreneurship and employment.
“I am delighted that Workspace Group and their partner businesses are running this popular scheme again with us. Our students last year said it opened their eyes to the kinds of career opportunities that exist in a global city like London and encouraged them to be more aspirational, which is what the Mayoral Academies programme aims to do overall.”
Over 80 pupils from seven schools in London tested their cricketing skills in the Urban20 competition at the Ken Barrington Cricket Centre at the Kia Oval. The event hosted tournaments for boys and girls from the u13 age category and is part of an ongoing partnership between Workspace Group and the Cricket Foundation’s ‘Chance to Shine’ campaign. Both the boys and the girl’s competitions were won by Kingsdale School, from Southwark after defeating London Nautical from Waterloo in the boys’ final and

he Mayor of London and the London Academies Enterprise Trust (LAET) joined forces with Workspace in support of the successful second year of the ‘Inspiresme Week’ partnership. ‘Inspiresme Week’ is an initiative that helps to teach a selection of budding, young entrepreneurs what it takes to be successful in business. At Workspace we provide placements for the young students with our own customers.
34
The students work in a variety of sectors including graphic design, photography and marketing. They spend four days shadowing SME business leaders in their work place which enables them to gain hands-on experience in the hustle and bustle of a real-life SME working environment. This close proximity to some of London’s fastest growing small businesses gives the participants access and exposure to the skills required to be a successful entrepreneur.
Ms Mirza said:
“This is an amazing chance for our academy students to see first-hand what it takes to be an entrepreneur and talk directly to some local business heroes.”
Jamie Hopkins, CEO of Workspace Group, said: “We are delighted to host Inspiresme Week for another year. The success of tomorrow’s entrepreneurs is a topic close to our heart. We’re so grateful to our customers for opening their doors, giving these young and talented entrepreneurs of tomorrow the opportunity to hone their skills further. This will benefit London’s economy in the years to come. We hope this experience inspires these students and wish them the very best of luck in the future.”
Charter School, also from Southwark, in the girls’ final. The victorious Kingsdale boys’ team then took on a team of Workspace employees in an exhibition game, which the children duly won. All of the girls’ teams had the experience of a lifetime as they were given a master class by England Women’s captain Charlotte Edwards. Talking about the day, Kingsdale School PE Teacher Jason Price said, “It was a really great day for the kids and they really enjoyed it.” 35
