The Garden office market started in 2001 with a handful of small-scale specialist manufacturers, followed shortly thereafter by a raft of imported 'low cost' log cabins/sheds - many of these coming from Eastern Europe. It is, however, the latter group which is now suffering. The British consumer is now ignoring these cheap Eastern European sheds/log cabins and purchasing instead purpose designed buildings which offer a specific office space, thereby avoiding the implication of grubby, muddy and cold shed working. The Garden Office space at home is a must for modern living.

It is the businesses who are moving from expensive city center locations to suburban gardens that are making the greatest savings !

Recent research shows you can save £8.40 per day by working from home. That adds up to more than £2,000 per year and if you can do without a second car, that leads to annual savings of in excess of £6,000. These are cost savings that any family would be pleased to see. What we like to see is that not only are homeworkers saving costs, they are also saving the environment.
 

The famous shed workers who have attracted the most attention are artists and writers such as Philip Pullman, Roald Dahl, Henry Thoreau and Henry Moore there is a longer history to shed working than some might think. The 18th-century man of letters William Cowper had what he called a "sulking room" in the garden at his home in Orchard Side, Buckinghamshire, where he wrote much of his poetry. Nowadays you're just as likely to find accountants, lawyers and software specialists at the bottom of the garden as you are sculptors, because garden offices are big business.
