What times are you open?
We are open Monday - Friday 8.30am-6.00pm apart from Bank Holidays.
Can I pay by Direct Debit?
Unfortunately not at present but you are welcome to set up a standing order - we can give you the bank details. You are also able to pay via our website with a credit/debit card.
Can I make phone calls at The Transfer?
We have two spaces in The Transfer - one is a quieter space where we would ask you to avoid talking, in general. In the other space, we welcome conversations and low-volume hubbub. Some people do tend to talk more loudly, especially when on calls, and if you are one of them you may want to move into one of the meeting rooms if available, or the lunch room or terrace. For scheduled calls you can book the meeting room at very affordable rates.
Do I get a specific desk?
Unless you opt for the dedicated desk option, desks are available on a first come, first served basis. We haven't run out of desk space yet and there is plenty of comfy seating as well.
What's the deal with a dedicated desk?
You get a specific desk with a lockable drawer unit. There are four of these desks in an adjoining office. Same opening times, coffee and tea thrown in, but you don't need to carry your files in each day, and you could have a desktop computer or leave an extra monitor on your desk.
Do I have to join in with shared lunches?
No of course not. Many of our co-workers do regularly and find they go back to work refreshed afterwards but some prefer to power through lunchtime and maximise the amount they can do.
What food should I bring?
Anything really. Some people bring leftovers from the evening meal before. Kurdistan Mini-Market on the opposite side of Moseley Road does delicious fresh naans with a variety of toppings. Or there’s Lidl bread, houmous, salad, etc. We have a fridge and a microwave. Veggie and vegan food predominates.
Can I park at The Old Print Works?
There is plenty of on-street parking nearby. Our courtyard is reserved for loading and parking for disabled people. We would love you to use a more sustainable form of transport if possible and our prices incentivise this.
How else can I travel there?
We are on the route the 50 bus, which runs very frequently. If you ride a bike, we have plenty of covered cycle parking in our courtyard.
How fast is the broadband?
Fast! We have a dedicated business fibre line to our building. WiFi is great throughout the co-working spaces, meeting rooms, lunch room and terrace.
Is my stuff secure?
You are responsible for your equipment or belongings brought into the space, and any loss or damage to them. While we would like to think that everyone who comes to The Old Print Works is trustworthy, we do have many visitors to the building every day and would urge you to think before leaving your belongings unattended.
