The scheme really sells itself and that, coupled with the landlord’s ‘can-do’ attitude, has meant that deals are being done.”

Lowry Mill’s property manager, Mike Lamplough, said: “Lowry Mill is fast becoming a hub for thriving organisations, suites have been designed and fitted-out on a bespoke basis underlining the scheme’s strong offer. As a result of the current demand we have added an additional deck to the car park to maintain our excellent car parking ratio of 1:300 sq ft. and we have other enhancements in the pipeline.”
