Our Story
Rede House Business Space didn’t begin as the vibrant hub you see today.
Our journey started back in 2016, when co-founder Lisa opened North East Academy — a small training academy built from passion, determination, and a belief that education can transform lives. What began as a single room quickly grew into a supportive community of learners, beauty professionals, and ambitious locals looking for a place to build their future.





Then came the Covid era — a turning point for everyone.
After the world reopened, Lisa made a bold decision to rebuild stronger than before. She renovated the building, creating a hair salon and a warm, welcoming coffee shop designed to bring people back together. What started as a simple addition soon became the beating heart of Rede House.

In April 2025, the coffee shop was purchased by Steam & Bean, who have taken it to new heights. Today, Steam & Bean is truly the heart and soul of Rede House Business Space — a place where clients gather, businesses connect, and ideas come to life over great coffee. Their presence adds energy, community, and a sense of belonging to the entire building.
With the salon thriving and the coffee shop buzzing, the vision grew even bigger. Rede House expanded into a dedicated business and training space, offering flexible rooms for beauty professionals, trainers, entrepreneurs, and creatives. Every part of the building was designed with purpose: to give people a professional, affordable, inspiring environment where they can build something of their own.
