\nWhile I am doling out the praise another organisation I have been meaning to thank is Invest In Hackney<\/a>. Hackney is one of the poorest boroughs in London, but it is also by far one of the most vibrant. I live in Hackney, and my wife was born and bred here.<\/p>\n When I was looking for a new office I initially thought all I needed to do was Twitter<\/a>. I tried craigslist<\/a> and a host of expensive of serviced office agencies. During my searching I came across some property references to Invest In Hackney, so I thought why not phone them up? By the end of the call I was pretty unimpressed: apparently they would get back to me, within a week<\/em>. Within a week??? A week later, still no office, and the email arrived. It was a good long list so I tried a few of the properties. Its worth noting the catchment area stretches all the way to Hoxton and Shoreditch because that is where I ended up: Hoxton Market. So thanks to Simon Dilly, Invest in Hackney and the Renaisi<\/a> regeneration agency. Good work: not only did you get me an office, but i am sharing, so you can also now boast that you brought one of the UK’s coolest startups, dopplr<\/a>, into Hackney too. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" While I am doling out the praise another organisation I have been meaning to thank is Invest In Hackney.
