GETout of office.
About

Better together. Still getting things done.

OOO started with a simple thought: getting out of your home office shouldn't mean taking the day off or spending it networking. Sometimes you just want to work somewhere good, among people doing the same. We're starting in Exeter, testing what works, and building it carefully from there.

A note from the founder

I've no illusions that this is a revolutionary idea.

And I'm certainly not trying to build the next WeWork.

The way we work has changed. Working remotely can be incredibly productive, but we've lost a little of the everyday human interaction along the way. I've worked remotely for years myself, and I know how quiet some weeks can get. Sometimes a conversation, a smile or simply being around other people makes a difference.

I've also always been curious about who might be working just around the corner. Someone running a global business, a specialist working for a company on the other side of the world, or someone building something of their own. All living locally, yet rarely crossing paths.

That's where Get Out of Office comes in.

The idea is simple. Take interesting spaces that are quieter during the working day, bring people together and let everyone get on with their normal work. No networking agenda, no pitches, no pressure to talk to anyone. Just a change of scenery and a bit of human connection, if you fancy it.

We're starting small in Exeter, testing the idea and seeing whether people enjoy it. If they do, we'll find more great spaces and do it again.

Same work. Better company.
