The coffeehouse aims to be a barista led destination café offering quality hot drinks and food serving the creative quarter of Birmingham from the rhubarb building. It will also serve as informal networking venue based around the coffee house heritage of the UK (1700’s pre Bank of England London) aimed squarely at the creative industry, not only as a social hub for the businesses and staffers of the rhubarb building but embracing the wider business community of Digbeth.

Crisis London recently held their fifth regional meeting in Qwerk Meetingspace at Rhubarb. Rhubarbs Keri say’s the day was a great success and quotes David Hewitt of Crisis London:“We always ask our delegates to rate the venue and 24 out of 25 questionnaires returned an excellent comment for the Qwerk venue and hospitality and loved the Rhubarb building.” Therefore beating both the London and Manchester venues !

Studios at Rhubarb qualify for 100% rates relief until October 2011, a saving of £2,000 for the year. But that’s not all; when October 2011 arrives you can still get up to 50% relief, bringing the cost for a 400 sq.ft studio down to a very reasonable £73 per month! So now a Rhubarb studio is even sweeter.

After a long hard winter and a spring trim, the greenwall is beginning to bloom again, with several species now in flower and the prospect of it looking as fantastic as last year. There’s one small area that didn’t quite survive the winter and this is due to be replanted shortly.

Rhubarb has joined Paperchasers, the ethical recycling scheme. Paperchasers specialise in commercial recycling and in particular paper products, which are recycled locally here in Digbeth at the Smurfit Kappa Paper Mill. We’ll be getting a report twice a year (digital of course!) telling us how our efforts translate into carbon, landfill space, water, energy and trees saved. We’ve started with paper recycling and plan to “go large” shortly by adding cardboard, mixed plastics, glass, aluminium and office products such as ink & toner cartridges. Our aim is to become a benchmark development for office recycling and judging by the response from our ever expanding Rhubarb family. For more info about their service, visit www.paperchasers.biz
