What's the difference between coworking and flexible office space?
Coworking spaces are shared, open-plan environments where individuals or small teams work alongside others. Flexible office space refers to a private, self-contained office that you rent on flexible terms. Department offers both, from hot desks and dedicated desks to fully private offices and enterprise floors.
How long are the contracts for flexible office space at Department?
Our flexible office space is available on rolling monthly contracts, meaning you’re not locked into long-term leases. This is ideal for growing businesses that need room to scale without commitment risk.
What's included with flexible office space at Department?
All Department flexible office memberships include 24/7 secure access, enterprise-grade internet, fully furnished, ready to work offices, access to meeting rooms, on-site café and bar, wellness and fitness facilities, bike storage, showers, and dedicated community managers. There are no hidden costs or utility bills— everything is included in your membership.
Where is Department's flexible office space located in Manchester?
Department has flexible office space across two of Manchester’s most prestigious business districts: St. John’s (at Bonded Warehouse, Globe Building, and Campfield) and Spinningfields (at XYZ). Both locations are within walking distance of multiple Metrolink stops and major rail stations, with Manchester Airport just 20 minutes away.
Can I scale my office space up or down as my team grows?
Yes. Department’s flexible office space is designed to grow with your business. We offer spaces for teams of 4 up to 250+, including dedicated enterprise floors for larger organisations. Moving between space sizes is straightforward, and our team are here to help you have a seamless expansion without penalty or complex renegotiation.
Is flexible office space suitable for enterprise businesses, not just startups?
Absolutely. While flexible offices are popular with startups and scale-ups, they’re increasingly chosen by enterprise businesses seeking agile satellite offices, project spaces, or headquarters without long-term capital commitment. Department’s enterprise floor option is specifically designed for larger teams who want private, branded space within a premium, fully serviced environment.
