Josh0108 Works

Josh0108 Works is a British multinational media conglomerate. 
==History==
In October 2021, Josh0108 Works announced that they would be opening a new subsidiary office (where there are additional offices provided for Josh0108 Works' sister companies, to allow less stress in the original London office) in the place of a large student accommodation building in 2024 (this is fanon, said building still exists as student accommodation to this day). Josh0108 Works chose this building because it only attracted international students, and it was poorly managed. Josh0108 Works plans to reconfigure the building for office spaces, room for recreation, as well as making sustainable improvements (such as repainting, installing new systems, adding solar panels to the roofs) to the building under their ethos. Already existing retail/education tenants would not be removed from the building. The new subsidiary office is said to be twice the size of the previous.
