The Office Space
Established in September 1983 by Martin Hudson, the FBC was created as a versatile workspace for Clerkenwell’s business community. Offering flexible shared offices, private workstations, and purpose-built spaces for collaboration and events, it caters to diverse professional needs. Today, Hudson’s three sons oversee operations, maintaining a commitment to supporting growing businesses and connecting like-minded professionals in an environment that balances heritage, innovation, and community. Beyond high-quality workspaces, the facility includes dedicated areas for interactive workshops and professional development.
