When it came to choosing the location for GCUC UK 2025, returning to Manchester was the natural choice. This vibrant, ambitious city continues to redefine what’s possible in the flexible workspace world.
As Patrick Kennedy, Director at Colliers, puts it:
“It’s brilliant to see GCUC UK back in Manchester for the second year running. This city’s innovation-fuelled DNA continues to raise the bar… The ‘flight to quality’ trend has seen more brilliant flexible workspaces opening up across the city. Since last year, we’ve welcomed new operators, fresh spaces, with more set to open later this year!”
What makes Manchester special for coworking:
-
A thriving ecosystem — Home to an impressive lineup of operators including Colony, Clockwise, Department, Orega, Cubo, Huckletree, Industrious, x+why amongst many others.
-
A cultural powerhouse — A city buzzing with creativity, world-class food, shopping, and a legendary arts and music scene
-
Global ambition — With transformative developments like a 76-storey tower bringing Nobu to town and Manchester United’s proposed stadium project, the city’s global influence is only growing
As Emilie Lashmar, our GCUC UK Director & Producer, says:
“We’re buzzing to bring GCUC UK back to Manchester — a city bursting with energy, ambition, and a coworking community leading the charge. This year, we’re going bigger, bolder, and braver, bringing the brightest minds together to shape what’s next.”
