Never burn bridges

Hannah Clifford, Director of Nairobi Garage.

I’m not a morning person. When I wake up, I feed my cats, shower, get dressed and head out. I never set meetings before 10 o’clock because I know it’s a hustle getting them done. When I get to the office, I check with the general managers that everything is fine, checking that marketing has gone out on time. If there are no major issues that I need to help the team with I respond to emails and have meetings with people who either want to offer us services, hold workshops or want to partner with the companies here.

At Nairobi Garage we provide flexible office space solutions. That might be in the form of co-working where you pay for a desk per day or per month, and that includes everything you need to run your business—internet, tea and coffee, furniture, meeting room space -- except for a laptop, or in the form of private offices. We also do a lot of networking events, workshops and investor introductions.
