As well as offering personal shopping, Lanigan and Hulme have teamed up with a Manchester brewery to offer customers craft beers as well as a choice of prosecco or coffee as they browse instore.
In addition to established brands they are keen to introduce new brands to the city which so far include Arkin, makers of quality homemade leather accessories who originate from Bristol; Huit Denim proudly made in Wales; and VICI watches, a popular newcomer at London fashion week.
The only non-British brand they currently stock is RM Williams. However, having worked for the Australian brand, Phil Lanigan is confident their superior workmanship and quality boots complement the Lanigan and Hulme brands.
Lanigan and Hulme is the latest addition to the Royal Exchange Manchester, which has been undergoing a number of changes since it was acquired by Hines.
The international real estate firm acquired the building in November, 2016 on behalf of Bayerische Versorgungskammer (BVK), Germany’s largest pension scheme group.
The firm also recently announced a new 10-year deal to bring French Connection back to the city centre, one of a number of significant deals which will deliver on its strategy to diversify the tenant mix and reposition the Royal Exchange as a prestigious location in Manchester’s retail landscape.
