Spade Enterprise Centre

spade enterprise centre is a community based enterprise centre which was opened in 1990 in the converted st. paul's church at north king street, a sector designated for urban renewal at that time. the smithfield area has undergone total redevelopment and has changed radically in the past ten years. the purpose of the spade initiative was to assist local unemployed people to successfully set up their own businesses. from the outset this initial venture proved a success and within a short time each of the original 25 independent workshop and office units within the building were let to a wide range of new businesses. these units range in size from 150ft² to 450ft² (14m² to 42m²) spade recently carried out a refurbishment plan of the interior of st paul's church, which included substantial upgrade of office space and technology. the working environment in the church building is now high quality, modern, comfortable office space which will include top of the range it/telephony platform t
