@bex, @peeebeee yup, you’re both right, I guess REAs might be part of a broader set of offerings from a coworking community.

@Imran kind-of – but I’m thinking of physical logistical services more than virtual. I think @bex has it, it’s a set of support services wrapped around the ‘pure’ come-and-go co-working space that would do it for me.

“Obviously the executive suite people won’t do laundry, but they would probably arrange for the dry-cleaning to be picked up and delivered.”

Actually, I believe what Peter is looking for is a traditional Executive Office Suite rental (these are the offices in a lot of buildings with multiple private offices and a shared set of resources and clerical staff) combined with the informality/networking of co-working.

If I were to open a co-working office, I would want to try and add a clerical support option. I know I would want it :D

Hey Peter - I think what you need are Remote Executive Assistants...

I’d hope to see lifestyle support services grow up around co-working spaces. This would be an extension to the existing business support services that are typically found in shared / co-working facilities. As well as having someone answer my phone, prepare mailings and receive deliveries, I could have my laundry done, flowers ordered for important birthdays and the car repair booked.
