Sponsor Spotlight  The Maltings Space 2B

Located in the heart of Cardiff, Space2B is a dynamic business hub offering cutting-edge serviced offices and co-working spaces designed to help companies collaborate, grow, and thrive.

With a strong commitment to supporting businesses at every stage of their journey, Space2B provides flexible office solutions and a vibrant community for over 100 organisations. Their sponsorship of the Start-Up award reflects their core mission: to empower ambitious entrepreneurs with the space and support they need to succeed.

Sophie Mear, Office Manager at Space2B, shared her thoughts on the partnership:

“The Start-Up category reflects the very heart of what we do: providing space, community, and opportunities for ambitious entrepreneurs to succeed. Sponsoring this award allows us to celebrate and champion the next generation of Welsh businesses, while aligning ourselves with innovation, ambition, and growth.”

Sophie also offered insights into leadership, drawing from her own experience:

“Good leadership involves honesty, integrity, professionalism, staying humble and recognising we are all human beings at the end of the day. None of us has all the answers.”

Space2B encourages directors and business leaders across Wales to enter or nominate for the awards, highlighting the value of recognition, visibility, and celebrating leadership excellence.

“Recognition through these awards not only celebrates success, but also motivates others to aim higher, and helps build a stronger culture of leadership across Wales.”

As a proud supporter of the IoD, Space2B values the organisation’s role in developing leadership and fostering collaboration.

“Our involvement with the IoD here in South Wales is really beneficial to us and our members at Space2B. Businesses need good role models like Jo & Rebecca who do what they say and help their members wherever they can.”
