I Love MCR has highlighted COLONY as one of Manchester’s leading home-grown flexible workspace providers, recognising our wide options of locations, professional workspaces and thriving community.

As Manchester continues to embrace flexible ways of working, finding the right workspace is about more than having a desk and superfast Wi-Fi. It’s about having a place where you can focus, collaborate and feel part of a thriving community of like-minded individuals.

Something we’ve we’ve set out to create at COLONY.

A workspace that works around you

Whether you’re a freelancer looking for a change of scenery, a remote worker ready to step away from the kitchen table, a growing business in need of more space or an established team looking for a flexible office solution, we give you the freedom to work in a way that suits you.

With locations across Manchester city centre, including Ancoats, Piccadilly, and the Central Business District, our members can choose a venue that fits their working day, their schedule and their business. From collaborative co-working areas and quiet spaces for focused work to private offices, meeting rooms, phone booths and breakout areas, all our venues have been designed to support different ways of working.

I Love MCR highlighted the community side of COLONY and it’s something we’re incredibly proud of.

Working independently or remotely can offer plenty of freedom, but it can sometimes feel isolating. Our focus is on bringing together freelancers, founders, entrepreneurs, creatives, remote workers and growing businesses, creating opportunities to meet new people, share ideas and build meaningful connections.

Our community events are a huge part of COLONY’s way of working; from networking sessions and industry talks to member socials, creative meet-ups and collaborative events, there are plenty of opportunities to connect beyond working at your desk..

Choose your favourite Manchester neigbourhood

Manchester is a city built on ideas, creativity and collaboration — there’s a reason our Prime Minister has coined the term Manchesterism and our venues put you in the centre of it.

Each venue has its own personality, but every workspace shares the same focus: creating a welcoming, flexible and professional environment where people and businesses can do their best work.

Our newest location, COLONY King Street, takes flexible working to the next level, with premium co-working spaces, private offices, meeting rooms, event space, and soon will have a dedicated podcast and content studio and exhibition space.
