FRESHMILL DELTA HOUSE

Meet the Team

Zoe Daines

Meet Zoe Daines, the founder and creator of Freshmill. Zoe first had the idea for a coworking space in 2016 when she was looking for somewhere for her own business. She realised there was nothing like this for the local business community. And the idea of Freshmill was born! Zoe’s ambition was to create a hub to encouraged and nurture businesses in the local area. In 2017 Delta house was purchased and work began with local contractors designing and constructing Freshmill in 2018.

Since the door opened in July 2019 Freshmill has gone from strength to strength. Zoe has created a collaborative, comfortable and flexible space in surroundings that reflect the design of a private member’s club and the ease and efficiency of a serviced office.

Outside of work Zoe enjoys standing on sidelines in all weathers watching her son play various sports, long dog walks in the countryside, tending to a high maintenance retired horse and attempting to train her rather unruly black Labrador Fidget!
