Genuinely one of my favourite places in Manchester. The coffee from the on-site Grindsmith is great, and the place offers seating for work, meeting rooms and even a theatre for upwards of 50 people. I get a lot of work done when I'm here. Highly recommended!
Rise certainly ‘rises’ above all other office and meeting point venues in Manchester. It is strategically placed in the heart of Manchester close to amenities, the tram/train station and discounted parking facilities for Central Working tenants. Not to mention being above Grindsmith for high quality coffee and meetings. The venue is well equipped with state of the art tech and meeting/presentation rooms, as well as a hub of entrepreneurial talent, including the likes of Tech North; all of which are great for networking and creating a positive and inspirational working environment. The General Manager of Central Working, Steven Bailey, is very supportive for all your business needs and requirements. He is always smiling, friendly and professional by making sure Central Working is well maintained and managed.
A fully equipped and pleasant working space in the very center of Manchester. I had a meeting in one of the meeting rooms; reception and service were perfect despite the short notice. Absolutely recommended!
Great place for a coffee. Gets full quick. Not a lot of seating. But overall very well decorated.
Brilliant space and super helpful staff. Dan is a dream - nothing too much for anyone. Love having this resource in our city to promote innovation and positive energy.
