Why Being Around Other Businesses Matters More Than You Think
Running a business can sometimes feel isolating. Even with a strong team and a great office, opportunities can be missed if you’re working alone. That’s why where you’re based matters - and why being surrounded by other businesses can make all the difference. At Beaconside Business Village, collaboration doesn’t feel forced. It happens naturally.
More Than Just Office Space
Being based at a business park isn’t just about square footage or location. It’s about the environment your business operates in every day. Shared spaces, familiar faces, and a community of different industries create the kind of connections you simply can’t get when working in isolation.
Collaboration Happens When You’re Surrounded by the Right People
When businesses are near each other, relationships form naturally. Conversations start in corridors, over coffee, or during casual meetings. Trust builds because you see people regularly - not just via emails or LinkedIn. These everyday interactions often turn into real opportunities: new projects, referrals, and partnerships that might never have existed otherwise.
Real Collaboration at Beaconside Business Village
Take Elliott from FR Productions, for example. Based onsite, his film production company has worked with several other tenants - including Three Spires, Tiny Toes Ballet, TILG, and The Beaconside Group itself. These opportunities came simply from being visible, trusted, and part of the community.
It’s not just Elliott:
Lilac Howell, another film production company, has collaborated on projects with Omexom.
Rob from Three Fish has delivered branding and design work for tenants such as Best Evidence, Ring Leads, and Omnia.
Dave Disbury has supported a wide range of tenants, including NHS, Omexom, Lilac Howell, EPX, Moot, Ciro, Edson Evers, and Beaconside Conference & Events Centre.
Across these examples, one thing is clear: being part of a thriving business community creates opportunities that wouldn’t exist elsewhere.
Why This Matters for Growing Businesses
Being near other businesses saves time, builds trust, and opens doors. Whether it’s finding a reliable supplier, getting advice from experienced peers, or landing new projects, the connections you make onsite can have a real impact on growth.
For tenants at Beaconside, collaboration isn’t forced - it’s part of the environment. And that’s what helps businesses thrive.
A Business Village Built on Community
From creative agencies to healthcare providers, construction teams, and professional services, our mix of tenants makes the site feel alive, dynamic, and full of possibilities. Being around other businesses isn’t just convenient - it can transform how you work, who you work with, and the results you achieve.
Running a business is easier when you’re part of a community that supports you. If you’re looking for a workspace that goes beyond four walls, Beaconside Business Village could be the place for you.
