A great place to work, a great place to meet and a great place to do business

IoD members enjoy free access to the business hub in this modern and comfortable office space situated in the Clare Charity Centre, Saunderton at the base of the Chiltern hills in the heart of Bucks. Built in striking style around an open quad, its modern architecture belies the site’s origins as a Victorian workhouse, which was later used as a military hospital during World War I before being demolished.

Access is easy from the A4010 and there is plenty of parking. It is a shared facility for Buckinghamshire Business First and IoD members only.

When to use the business hub:

• If you work from home and want a more formal office environment
