What We Do
So what exactly is Laptop Friday?
Founded in August 2010 by Belinda Wilson & Jonathan Pollinger, we host weekly meetups every Friday at local venues around the UK, helping people to meet other likeminded individuals to work and socialise. Our mission is to combat the isolation of working from home.
Whether you’re a freelancer, a small business owner or an employee who works from home, everyone’s welcome.
