What our coworking members are saying:


"The team at SBC have done an excellent job of setting up the new co-working/dedicated desk space. As my company is based in Edinburgh I found myself isolated working from home full time in Aberdeen. I did not need a full office to myself so having a dedicated desk means I have my office set up exactly as I need within the beautiful co-working space. Giving me a friendly professional environment to work in and separation between my work and home life. The Queens Garden business centre has brilliant facilities included in my rental such as a well equipped kitchen, breakrooms, safe on-site parking, 24/7 access, and a truly wonderful team to support me. The co-working desks can be rented for the hour/day/week so it is a wonderful opportunity for networking. I genuinely recommend this space for anyone who needs a change of scenery from a home office or is visiting Aberdeen for a short time. 100% recommended."
