“Call It a Clan, Call It a Network, Call It a Tribe”- Why Our Tribe Matters

“Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.” - Jane Howard

At OfficeTribe, this quote is more than words on a wall, it’s the reason we exist. When we opened our first coworking space in Tunbridge Wells, our goal wasn’t just to create desks and Wi-Fi. It was to build a tribe: a community of people who show up for each other, cheer each other on, and make working life a little brighter.

More Than a Workspace

Walk into either of our spaces, on Mount Pleasant or London Road and you’ll feel it. A quiet buzz of energy. Friendly hellos. Conversations that start over coffee and turn into ideas, collaborations, or friendships.

Our members come from all walks of professional life -freelancers, designers, consultants, remote workers, start-ups but what unites them is a shared belief that work feels better when it’s shared.

The Power of Belonging

Working alone has its perks, but it can also be lonely. Having a tribe means you’re surrounded by people who get it: the late nights, the wins, the worries, the balancing act. Whether it’s sharing advice over lunch, celebrating a business milestone, or simply having someone to chat to between emails — that sense of belonging matters more than most of us realise.

We’ve seen amazing things happen when people find their tribe here. Members have partnered on projects, launched new ventures together, shared clients, and even trained for charity runs as a team. It’s a community that grows stronger because it’s built on connection, not competition.

A Space to Thrive

Yes, we’ve got all the essentials - fast Wi-Fi, great coffee, meeting rooms, and 24/7 access but what really makes OfficeTribe special is the people inside it. Our members are the heartbeat of our space. They create the warmth, humour, and generosity that turns four walls and a desk into something much more meaningful.

Why the Tribe Idea Still Resonates

Jane Howard’s words remind us that in every era, whether we’re in offices, homes, or coworking spaces , people need connection. We’re wired for community. And in a world of remote work and digital communication, finding your people in real life can be a game-changer.

At OfficeTribe, that’s exactly what we’re here for: a tribe where you can work, grow, and belong.
