120-year-old building to house meeting and community social areas
Market Hall on Douglas Quay is set to open a ‘work café’.
The existing space is being transformed into a hub for co-working, meeting, banking and provides a community social space.
The move follows a partnership between Noa Bakehouse and Santander International.
Five free bookable meeting rooms, Wi-Fi and banking facilities will be available from next month.
Those with accounts at Santander International will also have access to bank staff and be able to manage their day-to-day banking, including multiple ATM machines.
In September 2022, the bakery announced its intention to scale back operations citing 'times of crisis' behind the decision.
Noa Bakehouse’s Co-owner Pippa Pettit, says: “The partnership is transformative both for the area and our business. The Work Café will allow us to scale up our café.”
Santander has opened more than 100 work cafés since 2016 with locations in other Crown Dependencies.
