ABOUT THE FEEL GOOD BUILDING
FEEL GOOD ABOUT GOING TO WORK AND THE PEOPLE YOU WORK WITH
Feel good about growing your business. Feel part of a community making good things happen.
The Feel Good Building is a thriving community of values-led businesses in the heart of Newquay. It’s an innovative hub where ambitious companies connect, collaborate, and flourish together — a vibrant place rooted in shared purpose and a passion for positive impact.
Every detail has been designed to make business life feel better: lush plant installations, light-filled studios, sunshine-yellow walls, and calming sensory flooring. A welcoming bar and lounge area — complete with pool table — offers space to unwind, while great coffee, homemade bagels, fresh cakes, and the occasional after-work beer help fuel the day-to-day.
Created by local business innovators John Pearce and Tom Stringer , the Feel Good Building was born from a vision: to build a homegrown community where businesses can thrive, teams can feel inspired, and people can truly enjoy coming to work.
“It doesn’t feel like going into the office. It feels like we’re friends and family. We have the space and facilities to enjoy each other’s time.”
Roger Mansfield, author of The Surfing Tribe, told us all about the history of the Feel Good Building. Back in 1965 it was the production base for The European Surfing Co. It was right here that the company made the first fibreglass surfboards on an industrial scale. Pioneering the precision use of resins and fine-grain fibreglass cloths. Fast-forward half a century and today, a new resin-product pioneer, Oltco, has returned to the very same space. And it feels good to be part of Newquay’s rich surfing history.

Footsteps from the ocean, the Feel Good Building is filled with a bunch of ocean-loving folk. We’re passionate about the sea and keeping it clean. Outside, you’re greeted by a mural of Poseidon, the God of Water, cleaning the ocean. A masterpiece created by the talented local artist Joe Greenway. It raises awareness for cleaner oceans. It looks incredible, and even better, it makes you feel good when you come into work.
