Meet BLOQS, the UK’s first open-access factory!
Their mission is to provide access to industrial resources to help people make a living. BLOQS hope that providing a space for people to build a business, as well as giving them access to relevant technology will allow people to better their lives within a supportive and creative culture.
BLOQS offer 32,000 sq ft of pay-as-you-go workshop space, as well as one-to-one training, group courses, a bar and kitchen, a materials shop and the opportunity to be part of a vibrant and industrious community of like-minded makers.
Their large build, high clearance workshops contain over £1m of cutting-edge equipment that includes everything from a 3-axis and 5-axis CNC Routers, CNC mill, laser cutting, welding and two industry-leading 3D printers.
