Sevenoaks is home to several entrepreneurs and recent times have shown many commuters that it is not necessary to travel every day.  Recognising these factors, the Town Council has created a facility from which businesses can operate and grow.

Sevenoaks Business Hub is located adjoining the Town Council Office in Bradbourne Vale Road. It provides five single private pods, thirteen hot desks, a meeting room, café/kitchen, and an outdoor deck. Additional facilities include free on-site car parking, an EV charger and shower rooms.  Naturally, it has up to the minute internet connectivity.  The Hub is available 7.00am – 9.00pm six days a week and facilities can be booked from as little as a half day to a monthly basis.

First to sign up for space in the Hub was Sideline Removals and Logistics. Director Sam Gregory explains why. “Currently we work from home and the business has outgrown our dining rooms. We want to be and look more professional and to have a single base. Networking is also an important attraction. We want to be part of the business community and the Hub is going to be great for that.”
