Coworking Space: The Federation in Manchester

What one of the coworking members has to say:

"Moving to Federation House has been brilliant for us, we have a couple of lovely rooms which have been renovated to a high standard and we've been really impressed by the support from Federation whilst we were moving in and decorating our suites. The co-working space is a brilliant resource, and we feel very lucky to be part of a community of exciting companies here."

The Federation is built on ethical values and has a community of digital businesses and innovators - think along the line of entrepreneurs and startups - within its walls. A coworking venue sitting in the center of Manchester, it offers coworking spaces, meeting rooms and an event space at flexible and affordable rates.

Named in the top 5 inspiring places in the area, coworking members have the choice of a shared desk or a dedicated desk scenario with high-speed Wi-Fi to keep you connected, comfy and snug breakout areas for when your brain is about to implode and complimentary tea and coffee to keep your brain hydrated. All of the utilities are included in your membership fee from insurance to electricity and cleaning fairies come in at night to pick up your discarded brainwaves that have ended up as screwed up bits of paper on the floor. Benefits include such amenities as bike storage, shower facilities, lockers for hire to stash your personal goodies in and a shared kitchen with a picnic area for impromptu snacks. If you can't be bothered fixing your own food or drinks, there is an in-house coffee shop to invade.

Coworking membership fees are flexible and affordable with a special rate for early stage startups. Fees are on a rolling month-to-month basis based on your needs from a flexi desk to a permanent desk, a startup desk or a private pod. If you like to fly solo in your own bubble of creativity there are office spaces available for rent on a per square footage basis. Fully equipped meeting rooms are available and can be booked by the hour.

Note that the Co-op Foundation is working with The Federation to support early-stage social enterprises using technology and innovation to benefit communities in the UK and can offer you numerous benefits.
