Having been impressed with the space in London we were keen to see the plans for Manchester; we were not disappointed. We want to be part of a space that provides the right platform and attracts people who truly want to do global things with their business ambitions.
“We are confident Accelerate Places can provide this platform for us, hence the reason for signing up. The space is important to us and there are some great features like the phone booth in the lift shaft, but most importantly we want to be around people and businesses that want to take Manchester to new heights. We are proud to be the first in the space and play a key role in contributing to the Accelerate Places community.”
