We are fortunate that at Basestation we attract a number of people who are from overseas. This contributes to the diverse and inclusive culture we seek to foster in our coworking space. With Canada Day coming up on Monday 1st July, we thought it would be a good excuse to kōrero with one of our Canadian residents.

Meet Kurt Cordice from Enigmatic Global, he is a regular user of our hot desks at Basestation and has been with us since 2017.

We are fortunate that Basestation attracts a number of people who are from overseas. This contributes to the diverse and inclusive culture we seek to foster in our coworking space. With Bastille Day (Fête nationale française if you are French!) coming up on Sunday 14th July, we thought it would be a good excuse to kōrero with one of our French residents. 

Meet Charlotte Grosjean from Bark Limited, she has a permanent desk at Basestation and has been with us since January 2023. She started off in a single office on our first floor but after a few months moved down to our ground floor to join the open plan hot desk space. 

In a recent white paper published by the World Economic Forum looking at the Rise of Global Digital Jobs, it mentions three main factors that are most likely to transform business and the way we work in the next five years:

As it’s Mental Health Awareness Week, we thought it would be a good opportunity to look at the correlation of good mental health and coworking.

On November 6, Basestation marks a decade since its founding – ten years of providing a collaborative home for innovators, entrepreneurs, and remote workers in Tauranga. To celebrate, we sat down with two of the original founders, Steven Vincent and Pascale Hyboud-Peron, to revisit the journey that turned an office with too much space into a pioneering coworking community. The story of Basestation is one of creativity, resourcefulness, and a shared vision for an entrepreneurial community, so we’re sharing it in two parts. Here’s how it all began.

In our last post, we shared how Basestation came to life, transforming from an oversized office into a collaborative home for Tauranga’s creatives and entrepreneurs. Today, as Basestation celebrates its 10th anniversary, we look back at the journey since opening day. From quirky tech artifacts to local art, a beloved coffee shop, and spaces for makers, Basestation has evolved into a bustling community that continues to shape Tauranga’s CBD.

We’d love to introduce you to the lovely James and Ayla who are part of the Tauranga Marshall Day Acoustics team here at Basestation. We sat down with them both to find out more about them…

Each year we invite our residents to join us for the annual Basestation Christmas Party, traditionally this is a potluck dinner and we supply the drinks. 

Part of the human condition is to be social and find connection and belonging. 

With remote working on the rise, more people are looking to join a coworking space so they can connect with others on a regular basis rather than just working from home. 

At Basestation we understand the importance of connection and belonging, so we host regular events and opportunities for our residents to connect, network and create belonging together. Here are just some of the events, initiatives and opportunities we've hosted or got behind in the last 6 months!
