Blick Studios is Belfast's very own miniature Silicon Valley, a hub of creatives all huddled in a Malone Road Victorian Terrace house creating animations, running graphic design companies and developing apps. Blick is a shared office space frequented by Start Ups. If you have a start-up business and you are hoping to establish a base I would look no further than Blick Studios. Conveniently located within a stone throw of Queens Uni it's a buzz of activity. I rented a desk at Blick and this provided my burgeoning business a base and more importantly a trading address. I was provided with a key for the building so I was flexible in terms of the hours I worked. I also learnt so much from being based there - every other person in my office was a dynamic creative and the studio proprietors encouraged networking events, this was less of an office and more of a knowledge sharing base. Rent for a desk was relatively reasonable when you consider it included wifi, electricity and warmth. So if you are a Belfast creative and you're building a business from your bedroom I would suggest you slink out of your pyjamas and head down to Blick. read more
