Building a business takes courage, vision and the right environment to thrive. For too many ambitious entrepreneurs and professionals across the North East, the right workspace has simply been out of reach, too expensive, too inflexible, or too far removed from the communities that matter.

We’re changing that.

The SME Centre of Excellence, founded by prominent business leader and community champion Ammar Mirza CBE, offers professional hot-desk and coworking space built specifically for North East freelancers, founders and growing businesses. A proper professional base, without the burden of a long-term lease or city centre prices.

Two Locations. One Thriving Community.

We operate from two prime North East locations – Ponteland Main Street and Newcastle International Airport (Airview Park, NE13 8BR), giving you a well-connected, professional base wherever suits you best.

What’s included:

  • High-speed WiFi and dedicated desk space
  • Staffed reception and professional business address
  • Meeting rooms for client calls and team sessions
  • Kitchen, lounge and breakout areas
  • Tea and coffee included
  • Free parking at both sites
  • 24hr CCTV and secure access
  • A growing community of North East SMEs, founders and professionals
  • Flexible. Affordable. No Long Contracts.

Day passes, flex memberships and full-time desks available — options that work around your business, not the other way around.

Come and Experience it for Yourself

Every Thursday we open our doors for a free Open Day — come in, try the space, meet the team and connect with fellow North East professionals. Coffee is on us.

We believe great workspace should be accessible to every ambitious professional in the North East, regardless of where you are in your journey. This space was built for people who are serious about growth.
