Office Administrator
“My role at Urban Hub is customer service based, I am here to make your time with us simple and stress-free.”
“I focus on the daily operations, this ranges from taking enquiries to providing workspace solutions and community-focused events. I come from a managerial background in hospitality and know that creating a positive environment leads to success. I believe in the development of Urban Hub and support the flexibility it provides our clients.”
Account Manager
My role is to make sure that everyone who visits the hub gets a work space solution that is flexible, cost effective, productive and more professional that where you are today. On daily basis, I meet multiple people from varied industries and its never that one solution fits all. Hence we focus on understanding your nature of business, your peoples work requirements, budgets and accordingly develop customized solutions.
I think learning from individuals and their experiences is something that self-learning cannot teach us, hence being a part of a community can be very beneficial. Over the last 24 months I have had the opportunity to work with some prominent businesses in the IT industry, training and development, financial service, recruitment and Government departments to name a few.
In case if you are thinking as to how is it possible to get a better space on Lambton Quay for a lesser cost, then lets catch up for a coffee and we show on how we have provided efficient work spaces to over 50 different businesses and counting.

Business Development Director
With over 12 years experience in the serviced office industry across the UK and NZ, flexible working is something I am really passionate about. Working with a local company really gives me the opportunity to work with what our clients needs are and offer them a solution tailor-made to them, it also means we can change and adapt our offering to match what is going on in the market. Overseeing both the operations and sales for the business and looking at future projects and growth keeps me busy throughout the day.
