What our Council Partners say…
Wimbletech is one of the fastest growing and successful council and community backed tech co-working hubs in London. Not only does it provide high quality co-working space for many tech businesses and developers, Wimbletech also provides free community and education events (Hackathons) on Information Technology – delivered by the Wimbletech entrepreneurs.
Founded by David Fletcher, a young internet entrepreneur, who set up Wimbletech to address the high demand for flexible and affordable work space in the Wimbledon area. With support from Merton Council’s Economic Development and Library departments, Wimbletech now has over 130 start-ups & co-workers using the campus – with a long waiting list of businesses wanting to rent space.
Wimbletech is helping create new tech businesses and jobs, and is contributing to the emerging tech cluster in the Wimbledon, SW19 area. Wimbletech is an innovative model which turns under-utilised Library spaces and other public buildings into vibrant tech hubs. The model is now being franchised across London and the UK.Eric Osei
