P3M Works, a Cheltenham-based cyber security and digital transformation firm, has partnered with Akamai Technologies. The kick-off marks the start of a collaboration aimed at enhancing project delivery, cyber security, and digital transformation services.

In November 2024, The Growth Hub Cheltenham launched at the MX Innovation Centre, drawing 100+ local business leaders. Speakers included Ruth Dooley and Ian Mean MBE, who highlighted SME growth. Plexal CEO Andrew Roughan introduced the “Grown in Cheltenham” programme.

The Cyber Leaders Challenge is a UK-wide competition for university students, designed to develop leadership and cyber skills through real-world emergency scenarios. Teams compete in regional qualifiers and a national final, with opportunities to network with industry professionals and explore cybersecurity careers. The 2025 champions were University College London’s team.

We were honoured to host a major celebration at Hub8 MX to mark the installation of the 100th defibrillator as part of the Public Hearts Cheltenham Defibrillator Campaign!

A full day of networking and collaboration, bringing together founders in Cheltenham’s tech community at Hub8 MX.

Andrew Roughan, CEO of Plexal, leads an open discussion with active Q&A—exploring collective readiness.

​Hub8 Connect Series is a monthly gathering for Cheltenham’s tech and innovation community at Hub8 MX. It’s designed to bring together founders, operators, scaleups, and innovators for a full day of support, collaboration, and genuine networking. Plus, with Moosh Cafe on site, you’ll be properly fuelled throughout the day.

​Each session combines expert-led discussions, one-on-one clinics, and office hours with industry partners – creating multiple touchpoints throughout the day for the community to connect, solve challenges, and build meaningful relationships.

​It’s not about pitches or forced networking. It’s about real conversations, practical support, and bringing Cheltenham’s ecosystem together in one space to help each other grow.

For one week, we open the doors at Hub8 MX and Hub8 GC to everyone — completely free. No membership, no strings, no awkward sales pitch at the end.

Join us 13–17 April for hot desks, meeting rooms, fast WiFi, and good coffee alongside a community of people doing genuinely interesting work. Whether you’re a remote worker, a founder, or just curious about what co-working feels like, come and give it a proper try.
