We are no longer operating Hawick Business Centre.
Scottish Borders Council owns the Centre and is currently looking for a company/organisation to take over the building on a commercial basis. More information is available.
While not a replacement for the Business Centre, the new Borderlands Deep Tech Accelerator Hub in Hawick will offer access to new and exciting technology for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) and entrepreneurs in Hawick and across the South of Scotland.
However, the new Hub will not be available for short-term, working spaces and small bookable rooms as the Business Centre previously was.
