🎧 THE MOVEMENT 🎧

♥️ Movement to Music - Arbroath ♥️

🤩🤩 FREE CLASS 🤩🤩

👀 Looking for 15 music lovers to help start building our new class 👀

Unwind • Move • Recharge

✨ An immersive music and movement experience ✨

Are you feeling stressed, stiff, low on energy, or just in need of an hour that is completely for YOU?

THE MOVEMENT is an uplifting and beginner friendly class designed to help you shake off daily tension, lift your mood, release energy and reconnect with your body — all without pressure, complicated choreography or high impact exercise - unless you want to make it high impact 😉

🎵 Imagine a room full of people moving together to uplifting dance music, with your own wireless headphones delivering the music straight to your ears and having instructor guidance 🎵

Expect easy, flowing, full-body movement, gentle strength work, some lovely stretches and moments of breathwork. You can introduce some very light dumbbells if you wish.

The music styles will evolve with the class and the people in it, helping us create something fun, uplifting and a little bit different. I highly recommend you join The Movement from the start!

❤️ What makes THE MOVEMENT special?

🎧 An immersive experience — headphones help you tune out distractions and get lost in the music - with the freedom to adjust your own volume.

💃 Movement without pressure — no complicated dance routines, jumping is only required if you wish to and there is absolutely no need to be a dancer or fitness expert. Simply move in a way that feels good for you.

🌬️ Space to breathe and release — gentle stretches, breathwork and flowing movement to help ease tension and clear your head.

🔥 Music, energy and fun — uplifting dance music that gets you moving, lifts your spirits and brings a room full of people together.

✨ A little time just for you — you could be a carer, a busy adult, a fun loving free spirit or simply someone who needs to switch off from everyday life. This is your chance to unwind, recharge and leave feeling FANTASTIC ✨

Arbroath sure has a lot going for it! 🌅 🌌 🌊

Walking along the Arbroath cliffs yesterday reminded me just how much this town has going for it. Stunning coastline, rich history, amazing local businesses, great people and so much untapped potential.

Coming to Arbroath just 7 months ago, I felt welcomed by the people here, made great friends, and have quickly become attached to the place!

I genuinely believe Arbroath has a bright future ahead and I'm excited to see what comes next for this special town 😊

P.S. Anyone thinking about starting a business, keep an eye out on 8 Grant Road - Arbroath & Angus Business Hub, we have some ambitious plans to create opportunities for people to start businesses. We hope to work with along with other local businesses to keep encouraging entrepreneurial spirit in the town and we are going to need all the help we can get from the community too.

Have a lovely week everyone!

WELCOME TO ANGUS BUSINESS HUB 2.0! 😊

We hope that you had a good day and if not, hopefully seeing our silly faces (well, mine and Derek's...Natalie looks fabulous as always) brings you a little smile.

The last week has been pretty amazing.

Thanks to all of you, we've grown from around 800 members to almost 1,300 — and we're still growing! If you've joined recently, welcome! 👋

But for us, the numbers aren't really the point. We're trying to build a genuinely useful business community for Angus.

A place where you can get to know the people behind local businesses.

A place where you can ask for help, find opportunities, make connections, promote what you're doing and hopefully feel that there are people in your corner.

So what's happening next?

We've got a lot planned, but here's what we're working on right now:

1️⃣ We're pressing pause on Biz & Blether

We're suspending production of our quarterly magazine so we can put our time and resources into some of the other projects we're working on. It may return in the future, but in a different form!

2️⃣ A new way to promote your business & make connections

We're currently have a temporary freeze on promotional posts while we build a new system for the group.

The aim is simple:

Make it easy for you to introduce yourself, promote your business, ask for help, find people, share opportunities and make useful connections (without the group turning into a wall of adverts!).

We'll be launching the new system later this week.

3️⃣ Teen Enterprise starts this week 🚀

We've got some big plans for helping young people develop business skills, confidence and experience by taking on real-world challenges.

We're starting with a small pilot involving five brilliant teenagers.

They're going to design, build and launch their own podcast studio, from sourcing materials and managing a budget right through to marketing it and finding their first customer.

And that's just the beginning.

4️⃣ Our own marketing team

We've also put together a team of ABH volunteers with marketing skills.

Next week they'll be taking on their first community project.

The long-term idea is to develop the team to the point where we can potentially offer affordable marketing services to Angus businesses with a very "outside-the-box" approach!

We'll show you exactly what they're doing along the way.

5️⃣ Come and meet us! ☕🥐

Our next networking event is 10 a.m-12 p.m. on 26 October at our base in 8 Grant Road - Arbroath.

Nothing too formal.

Coffee, pastries, conversations and a chance to actually meet some of the people behind the names you see in this group.

We'll also tell you more about what we're building and, most importantly, get your input.

Because ABH isn't just something we're building for businesses in Angus.

It's something we're building with you.

So if you've got ideas, suggestions, crazy ideas or something you think ABH should be doing...

Tell us.

We're listening.

There's a lot we can accomplish together.

Until next time, we send you all our best wishes!

Your friendly neighbourhood ABH Board ❤️

A Personal Message and the Beginnings of a Plan! 🤓

Hi all you lovely people!

I wanted to tell you about a plan we are coming up with to use 8 Grant Road - Arbroath to help as many people as we can to start businesses and the person who inspired us to try and do this - my grandma! (Here is a picture of us when I was 5 or 6 I think - thankfully I grew into my ears!) 📸

The video is a bit longer than usual, but I really hope it is helpful to someone out there.

Sending you all some love and goodnight! 😊

Behind the Scenes at Angus Business Hub!

Hi everyone, just wanted to show you what's happening in the Angus Business Hub coworking space! (This is just some of the team). They have been working so hard to make the coworking space super cool and welcoming for everyone. You can come and work here completely free until 14 Sept with no commitment.

This is going to be more than just a space to work. It's about the people. What I'm excited about, is that ABH is full of normal people like me who know the struggle of starting a business while caring for family, personal responsibilities, and handling the curveballs that life throws at you when you least expect it. When you find somewhere where people understand you and are rooting for you, where they are generous with their time and energy, and where you make the connections you need to start and grow your business, then you have found home!

That's what we're trying to build at 8 Grant Road, and that's the community that ABH is trying to create.

Please look out for the updates next week and share your input, it will help them shape what ABH becomes for years to come. They are working so hard and they need your help. When people come together to support each other, I believe amazing things can happen. What do you say, shall we make it happen? 😊

Private Gym/Fitness Studio Idea💪🏋️‍♀️🏃

Hi all, we have had quite a few suggest that we set up a private gym/fitness studio up in one of the spaces at 8 Grant Road. The idea would be a private gym on site that you can book hourly slots for.

I've been to the gym before and felt a bit lost and overwhelmed, so we like the idea of a space that you can book for yourself/your group (up to 6 people), and for personal trainers to bring their clients. Would love your input. [We included a bit of an AI concept pic below to give an idea]

Also, would anyone be interested if we had a healthy meal prep service here too?

What do you think, shall we do it? Any other ideas or suggestions?
