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…

 Coworking is more than just a desk and some WiFi. At Basestation, there are a broad range of added bonuses, perks and reasons why you should try coworking with us.

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.

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.
