Why businesses choose Manchester
Manchester is the largest regional office market in the UK and the one where flexible workspace has taken the biggest share of total take-up. Supply runs from grade-A towers in Spinningfields to converted mills in Ancoats, with a genuine price gap of around 40% between the two.
Professional services, technology and media dominate. The BBC and ITV presence at MediaCityUK created a broadcast and digital cluster in Salford, while the Oxford Road corridor supports research and health-tech spinouts.
Piccadilly and Victoria mainline stations, Manchester Airport, and the Metrolink tram network. London is roughly two hours by train.

Important: where this page uses the words “rent”, “rental”, “lease” or “let” to describe workspace, those terms are used for descriptive and search purposes only. The agreement offered by flexible workspace operators is a licence to occupy, not a lease or tenancy, and it does not confer security of tenure under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954.
