Blaze specialises in paid media, social media, email marketing, SEO, web hosting and development support. Its goal is to help to launch 100 new businesses in Liverpool city region over the next 10 years.
Ember members can access a mix of permanent, subscription and day passes. It also provides unlimited virtual offices, allowing businesses to trade from the city’s newest co-working space.

Managing director of Blaze Media and director of Ember, Paul Webley, said: “When we took over the building for Blaze’s offices, we knew that we had the space and the perfect opportunity to bring together like minded creatives.
“Ember Cowork is for small businesses and sole traders who are seeking flexibility as well as connection. It’ll be the ideal co-working space for meeting great contacts, whilst also being set in a location that’s in high demand and buzzing with creativity.”
