SWURF Launches New Initiative to Support Remote Workers and Boost Leeds' Hospitality Industry

Oct 12, 2023


SWURF, the pioneering remote working app, is thrilled to announce the launch of WFHospo, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at transforming the way we work and support the vibrant hospitality industry in Leeds throughout the month of November.


West Yorkshire, United Kingdom Oct 12, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - WFHospo invites remote workers to break free from the confines of their homes and explore a network of warm, welcoming hospitality venues across Leeds, bridging the gap between productivity, social connection, and mental well-being.

Driven by the vision of local entrepreneur and SWURF director, Laura Bartlett, WFHospo seeks to revive the hospitality sector during the traditionally quieter month of November. The initiative encourages remote workers to 'Swurf' (work surf) from various hospitality venues, fostering a sense of community while boosting their productivity and saving on energy bills. 

By collaborating with 134 host venues in Leeds, Edinburgh, and beyond, Swurf offers a plethora of spaces where remote workers can work, socialise, and collaborate.

Laura Bartlett, one of the visionaries behind this initiative, shared her passion, stating, "I am Leeds born and bred and ridiculously passionate about seeing my hometown thrive. We believe in the power of community, both for the hospitality industry and remote workers. WFHospo is not just a campaign; it's a movement aimed at revitalising our local businesses while providing remote workers with a supportive and inspiring environment. Our goal is to create a thriving atmosphere in Leeds, where everyone can benefit - from the hardworking individuals seeking a change of scenery to the hospitality venues eager to welcome them."

Key Benefits of WFHospo:

Save: Remote workers can significantly reduce their energy bills by utilising the comfortable, well-equipped spaces provided by hospitality venues.

Support: WFHospo acts as a lifeline for the hospitality industry, fostering a sense of community and patronage among local venues.

Swurf: Embrace the freedom to work from anywhere, while enjoying the benefits of a collaborative and inspiring environment.

Connect: Forge meaningful connections with fellow remote workers, enhancing social interaction and combating the isolation often experienced when working from home.

To celebrate this innovative campaign, host venues are offering special discounts to remote workers, creating a win-win situation for all involved. By choosing WFHospo, participants not only enhance their own well-being but also contribute to the growth and prosperity of the local community.

SWURF is a leading work surfing platform dedicated to empowering remote workers and promoting effective working experiences. Through the WFHospo initiative, SWURF continues to redefine the future of work, emphasising the importance of flexibility, connectivity, and community support.

Brennan dominates PGA Tour in Japan   

YOKOHAMA, Japan — Michael Brennan won the Baycurrent Classic on Sunday for his second victory of the season and third on the PGA Tour in the last calendar year, closing with six straight pars for a 3-under 68 and a one-stroke victory over Jacob Bridgeman and Keith Mitchell. Brennan, who shared the 54-hole lead with Bridgeman and Zach Bauchou, rebounded from a bogey on the 10th hole with birdies on the next two holes before his run of pars at hilly Yokohama Country Club. One of those pars was a long bunker shot to a foot on the 16th. He finished at 16-under 268. Brennan won the Bank of Utah Championship on Oct. 26, 2025, on a sponsor exemption. The 24-year-old from Wake Forest also won the Wyndham Championship two months ago. This was only his 33rd start on tour. Bridgeman missed a 5-foot birdie putt on the 17th and closed with a 69. Mitchell played the final 10 holes in 2 over for a 68. Defending champion Xander Schauffele was one shot behind playing the 18th, drove into the trees and made double bogey for a 67 to tie for fourth. European tour MADRID — Grant Forrest got up-and-down for birdie on the reachable par-4 18th for a 2-under 70 and a one-shot victory in the Spanish Open on Sunday, earning the 33-year-old from Scotland his first trip to Augusta National for the Masters. Forrest was tied with late-charging Victor Perez of France going to the 322-yard closing hole. Both drove into rough just beyond the green, their golf balls separated by the length of their shoes. Perez chipped to 10 feet and missed. Forest’s chip ran out to just over 3 feet for the winning putt. The victory also gets Forrest into the British Open, which he has played twice previously. The closest he came to the Masters was in 2015 when he was runner-up in the British Amateur. Forrest, who finished at 14-under 270, capped off a tense finish that featured five players with a chance in the final hour. Eugenio Chacarra and Jacob Skov Olesen fell back with bogeys on the 17th. Chacarra (66) tied for second, moving him to No. 2 in the Race to Dubai. PGA Tour Champions PALM COAST, Florida — Vaughn Taylor closed with a 4-under 68 and made a 10-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole Sunday to defeat Alex Cejka in the Constellation Furyk & Friends, his first PGA Tour Champions title and his first victory anywhere in more than 10 years.

LONDON — San Francisco scored three touchdowns off Seattle turnovers and the unbeaten 49ers edged the reigning Super Bowl champions, 32-29, on Sunday (Monday in Manila) while Minnesota improved to 5-0 as well.

Mike Evans caught seven passes for 113 yards, including a two-yard touchdown toss from Brock Purdy after a Renardo Green interception and a crucial two-point conversion. “Toughness and heart,” Evans said. “We’ve got a locker room full of those guys. We knew it was going to be a dogfight. They’re a great team. We showed we’re a great team as well.” Fred Warner knocked lose a fumble by Emanuel Wilson that Malik Mustapha recovered one play before Christian McCaffrey ran for a San Francisco touchdown. Gracen Halton recovered a George Holani fumble in the end zone to give the 49ers a 21-13 halftime lead. Seattle’s Nehemiah Pritchett picked off Purdy to set up Sam Darnold’s 16-yard touchdown pass to Jaxson Smith-Njigba to give Seattle a 23-21 lead. Purdy flipped a seven-yard touchdown pass to Brandin Cooks and the conversion to Evans for a 29-26 49ers’ lead, only for Jason Myers to equalize from 40 yards on his fifth field goal, setting up the final drama.
