Department Named Flexible Workspace Operator of the Year at Insider Media Awards

flexible workspace operator of the year 2026

Insider Media has recognised us for transforming heritage buildings into community-driven workspaces across Manchester and Leeds

We’re proud to announce that we’ve been named Flexible Workspace Operator of the Year by Insider Media.


The judges were impressed by how we repurpose heritage buildings into impressive, high-performing workspaces with a strong community feel. That’s something we’ve always believed in, and it’s wonderful to see it recognised at this level.

 

At the heart of everything we do is a simple belief: success doesn’t come from spaces alone. It comes from the exceptional service we provide and the way we support people, businesses, teams, and communities to grow within the UK’s most energising city districts.

 

Our consistently high standards mean that our members genuinely want to stay and grow with us. We’re currently at 90% occupancy across our private workspace estate, with 2,906 active workspace members and 369 businesses across our estate.

 

Our portfolio spans some of the most distinctive buildings in Manchester and Leeds, spaces we’ve sensitively and thoughtfully repurposed to meet the demands of modern flexible working. The result is a workspace experience that combines architectural character with best-in-class amenities, for businesses who want more than a desk in a generic office.

 

It’s this commitment to placemaking in the UK’s most energising city districts that the Insider Media judges recognised – and it’s something we’re incredibly proud of.
