Where are the Irish hotdeskers? Here’s where

This hotdesking stuff is all well and good, you might say, but just who and where are the people making use of such facilities? Well they’re all around us actually.

Take Shane Mc Allister for instance, founder of Mobanode. Shane is based in Limerick but does a lot of business in Dublin and other parts of the country. This morning he’s taking the train to Dublin and enjoying the fact that his mobile broadband dongle has kept him on line for all of the journey.

While yesterday he was in Limerick city center enjoying lunch at the Strand Hotel where he broadcast the message - “good food, free wifi, comfy seat - might move office here altogether! €10 per lunch a day = rent paid in office!”

A tongue-in-cheek comment but nevertheless a reflection on his hotdesking lifestyle. Also yesterday, Galway based entrepreneur Anton Mannering wondered if there was, “Anyone interested in a Coworking/hotdesking space in Galway?”. And immediately his question was re-broadcast twice.

The interest is there, the people are there. But there’s a lack of general awareness and that’s where Nomadesk fits in.
