The Glove Factory Studios.
The Glove Factory is a beautifully converted Victorian industrial building in Holt, Wiltshire, home to 60 private studios and co-working spaces alongside Wild Herb café and a newly opened gym.
The business.
From digital media and design studios to tech startups, consultancies, artists and designers. Tenants benefit from a supportive co-working environment with flexible spaces designed to inspire creativity, collaboration and connection.
Winner of the Business Excellence Award 2018 from Bradford on Avon Business Network, the venue is recognised for its role in supporting and growing micro-businesses in the region. With regular community events and facilities that attract visitors throughout the day, the site serves a diverse mix of users.
Contactless payment changes everything.
No apps to download, no accounts to set up, no RFID cards to manage. Drivers simply tap their card and charge, eliminating the admin burden that came with the old system.
As The Glove Factory prepared to expand their charging capacity across a site with multiple touchpoints – workspace, café, gym, events – they evaluated what was working and what could work better.
With expansion on the horizon, it was the perfect moment to ask:
What would EV charging look like with zero friction?
The Voqa solution.
For Drivers: Hassle-free charging that works instantly. Whether you're a daily tenant, a café visitor, or attending the gym, you just plug in and tap your card. No fumbling with apps, no registration barriers, just seamless charging that fits naturally into your routine.
For The Glove Factory: A completely hands-off solution that scales effortlessly across every use case – workspace, café, gym, and events. No staff training required, no payment processing headaches, no customer support burden, and no more RFID setup for new tenants. The chargers generate revenue automatically while operating independently in the background. It's a valued amenity that enhances the workspace experience without adding operational complexity.
“Simply tap your card and charge. A completely hands-off solution. No staff training required, no payment processing headaches, no customer support burden”
Nick Kirkam, Managing Director - The Glove Factory Studios.
