Imagine a co-working space where the woman at the next desk is building something extraordinary… and so are you.

The 51% Club at The Wilmot is the West Midlands’ first dedicated co-working space for ambitious female founders and leaders.

Based at The Wilmot, in Birmingham’s historic Jewellery Quarter, our co-working space is more than a place to work. It’s a space designed to surround you with community, energy, and the kind of people who make your ambitions feel not just possible, but inevitable.

Open from 1 June 2026, The 51% Club at The Wilmot offers dedicated desks and flexible passes for female founders and leaders who want to do their best work in the company of other ambitious women.

Why this space is different

Most co-working spaces give you a desk and a WiFi password. We give you all of that, plus a growing community of 2,000+ female founders and leaders, access to The 51% Club’s full programme of events, masterclasses, and initiatives, and the knowledge that every woman is here to build something meaningful.

This is a space for:

  • Female founders at every stage, from pre-revenue to scaling beyond £1 million
  • Leaders who want to think bigger, move faster, and be surrounded by likeminded people
  • Women who are done building alone and ready for more

How it works

Dedicated Desk

Your own permanent desk in the space, available every working day. Members receive a £51 monthly discount — the same as the cost of annual membership, so joining pays for itself from day one.

£249 + VAT/month for members

£300 + VAT/month for non-members

Flexible 10-day Pass

Ten days of access per month, used whenever suits you.

Perfect for founders who work between locations or want to test the space before committing to a dedicated desk.

£175 + VAT/month

Flexible 5-day Pass

Five days of access per month for founders who need a professional base without a full-time commitment.

Ideal if you just need a space to work a day a week.

£100 + VAT/month

About the space

Located on the first floor of The Wilmot, one of Birmingham’s most beautifully restored heritage buildings in the heart of the Jewellery Quarter, our space combines industrial character with a calm, professional atmosphere designed for focused work.

The Wilmot offers access to high-speed WiFi, meeting rooms, breakout spaces, a fully equipped kitchen, and some of the most beautiful light in Birmingham.

Please note that The 51% Club’s space is on the first floor of the building with stair access only. However, accessible co-working desks are located on the ground floor.
