Office and desk space at Workington Innovation Centre
Workington Innovation Centre is a brand-new business hub designed to support start-ups, scale-ups and innovation-led companies across Cumbria and the wider Northwest. We provide modern, flexible workspace including private offices, coworking space, digital workshop facilities, and a range of meeting and event spaces, all supported by expert business support.
Purpose-built to help ambitious businesses start, grow and scale, the centre offers a professional and collaborative environment designed around different ways of working. Alongside high-quality workspaces, businesses benefit from one-to-one business support. Shared collaboration areas, breakout spaces and communal kitchens create opportunities for connection, learning and productivity throughout the working day.
Located on Central Way in the heart of Workington town centre, the Innovation Centre is a flagship project within Workington’s wider regeneration programme, supported by £23.1 million of Town Deal funding. The centre plays a key role in supporting economic growth in West Cumbria, building on the area’s strong industrial and manufacturing heritage while nurturing new opportunities in digital technology and advanced manufacturing.
With effective transport links, a strong regional talent base and a growing innovation ecosystem connected to the nuclear supply chain and wider Northwest economy, Workington Innovation Centre offers an accessible, future-focused location for businesses looking to put down roots and grow with confidence.
The town centre location also offers good connectivity, with local public transport links and road access connecting Workington to surrounding towns, rural communities and key employment centres across Cumbria. Beyond the workplace, the area benefits from its coastal setting and proximity to natural assets such as the Lake District and Solway Coast, supporting a balanced lifestyle that combines work, wellbeing and quality of life.
