The Social Hub (B Corp™)

At The Social Hub, our core values—curious, conscious, bold, entrepreneurial, and fun—fuel our drive to strike partnerships that make a meaningful impact, showcasing the power of collaboration and innovation to bring people together.   The latest example of this took place last week during the ESNS Festival, as we proudly hosted our first "Laundry Sessions" at #TheSocialHubGroningen, in collaboration with Mixmag Netherlands.    The energy was electric, fueled by vibrant sets from Berlin DJs MIJA and Mika Heggemann with more than 150 party goers in our hub’s actual laundry room, a signature space for our community in all our hubs. As excited as we are to see how our Laundry Sessions will evolve and continue to connect our community across Europe? Then stay tuned... #TheSocialHub #HybridHospitality #Community #ESNS25 #LaundrySessions

A few weeks ago, we were thrilled to receive the New Entrant to the United Kingdom Award at the DBT Investment Awards dinner, hosted by the UK Department for Business and Trade. This recognition celebrates our team's dedication to The Social Hub Glasgow and reinforces our commitment to creating spaces that connect and inspire communities across borders. A standout moment of the evening was seeing our Director of Capital Markets and Treasury, Jochem Van Den Broek, proudly accept the award on behalf of The Social Hub - an incredible milestone for our team as we continue to grow and evolve. Congrats to The Social Hub Glasgow team under the leadership of Ben McLeod for everything you do! A big thank you to Joanna Roper, His Majesty’s British Ambassador to the Netherlands, Janine Vos from Rabobank, and everyone who joined us to celebrate this achievement. This award not only symbolises the shared vision and collaboration that continue to fuel our journey; it also reflects our excitement for what lies ahead as we continue to deepen our presence in in the UK and in Europe. #TheSocialHub #HybridHospitality #Community #Innovation #Collaboration #UK #Glasgow
