the workspace peopleWhen it comes to amazing coworking space, Manchester is home to some of the UK’s very best.

In the 21st century, Manchester has become a key centre for businesses in the digital, creative, fashion and technology industries, with companies including Adidas, Kellogg’s, the Co-operative Group and ITV all basing their HQs in Greater Manchester. There’s no doubt that the city is a buzzing, exciting place to be. If you want in on the action, take a look at our pick of the best Manchester coworking spaces.
