Desk Rental / Shared Office Space Manchester

So you've decided to rent a desk or share office space but have a few concerns. Who will I be sharing an office with? Where should I locate? How accessible is this location? Is this the best location? By locating in Manchester you can answer all these questions can be answered in the right way.

Who's next door?

Right, addressing the first point on your neighbours. You will be surrounded by talent in Manchester. From top companies to small start up businesses you can almost smell the entrepreneurial spirit in this buzzing metropolis. The centre of Manchester has 65 of the FTSE 100 located there. Having  reputable companies in such close proximity is a great to network and improve your client base. This is particularly true when sharing an office as you are bound to discuss business opportunities and exchange specialist knowledge. The city was said to help change history in 1780 when it 'played midwife to the industrial revolution' and was the first city in the world to industrialise. This long history of success continues on today and will continue on in the future as more and more is invested.

How do I get there?

So say you choose Manchester, is it accessible? Definitely. The city is known as the capital of the north and is situated by the M6. Having substantial road and rail links means most major cities are within easy reach. London although slightly further out, can be reached in about 2 hours by train. Travelling is not just limited to the UK. Manchester airport can take you to all sorts of exotic destinations and the soon to be completed Metrolink (tram) connection will make the transition from city to airport even quicker.

Is there more?

What else is there to Manchester? An excellent reputation is one. The city attracts success whether it's in terms of commerce (the city has been named one of the best cities to do business in and attracts top companies such as the Co-operative group who are based here), sport (the city held the Commonwealth Games in 2002 and also has two premier league football teams), science (home to Manchester Science Parks and to many scientists such as Rutherford who split the atom) or finance (over 60 banking institutions are located here and employ over 15 000 people).

Having such a great reputation is not just great in terms of attracting clients and partners but also in attracting the best workers. Manchester city itself has a large pool of talent. The city has 2 major universities within it and several in the surrounding area. This knowledge based city relies on its talented workers and the universities to help sustain its reputation. Manchester is also one of the most culturally diverse cities with 12.6% of the district population being from a ethnic minority. This means that there are a multitude of languages spoken by the workforce20, making it easier for firms to conduct international business.

So?

Manchester has the largest office space market outside of London. This is not surprising given its excellent location, reputation and workforce. The city also offers great value for money since you can receive many of the same benefits – qualified employees, accessibility - but at a fraction of the price. So if we return to the original questions most of your key concerns should have been addressed and Manchester should now be your location of choice.
