First Military Coworking Network hub opens overseas

The first overseas Military Coworking Hub has now opened in Akrotiri in Cyprus. 

One of 12 coworking hubs set up as part of the Military Coworking Network, it will help facilitate remote working, ensuring partners, spouses and families can maintain their careers while based on the island.  

The hub provides a modern coworking space within an existing building on the RAF base. It houses eight desks, powerful WiFi, printing facilities, air conditioning, a break-out area and refreshments. 

Station commander of RAF Akrotiri, Gp Capt Nikki Thomas said: “The RAF Akrotiri coworking hub is a superb facility. Offering an excellent place to work, it will help create a network of like-minded people across the Akrotiri community and will hopefully provide a sanctuary for all those whose only option has previously been to work from home.”  

Hub volunteer, Delyth Moylan, said: “We want to stamp out the feeling of isolation and for our members to feel they can always come to the hub for support.” 

Maria Lyle, Director of RAF Families Federation, said: “There has been a really active group of volunteers working hard to support this for some time, and this hub will provide them the opportunity to work, network and study in a professional environment.”
