Aldershot Enterprise Centre tenant Laura Davis, CEO of the British Association for Supported Employment, moved with the centre from their previous location at Mandora House said:
“Since moving to the new office in the centre of Aldershot it’s brought even greater benefits to me as a smaller charity. I’m connected into a community of other organisations so in terms of my own wellbeing and mental health I’m not isolated in the way that I could be in other offices.”
Managed by WSX Developments, and with support from Rushmoor Borough Council, the Aldershot Enterprise Centre offers competitively priced office space meeting room hire, co-working space and a large modern café on site.
