Where is it?
In Touch, 3 Hardman Square, Manchester, M3 3EB
How big is it?
Located in the heart of Manchester’s Spinningfields, In Touch HQ is a modern and stylish space located on the third floor of 3 Hardman Square and features panoramic views across the popular business and entertainment district of Manchester.
The space is 20,000 sq ft across one floor and includes open-plan office space, a large ‘Lawn Club’ networking area with bar, four breakout rooms, a private boardroom, five meeting rooms and a modern conferencing zone which has been hired out by the likes of BookingGo and Talk Sport.
Every office or meeting room housed within the space has been named after well-known locations and landmarks across Manchester such as ‘Piccadilly’ and the ‘Etihad Stadium’ as a nod to the firm’s heritage. Employees can also relax, enjoy their lunch and socialise in the ‘Lawn Club’ which features game consoles, guitars, a pick and mix stand, pool and table tennis tables and a slush machine. This area has been particularly well received by staff as it lets them completely zone out from the work environment whilst on a lunch break.
What happens there?
The Manchester HQ is the main hub for the In Touch team and inspires collaborative working between the different departments based there. They wanted to ensure the office was a place people wanted to work from whilst also providing a space to socialise and relax, allowing their people to thrive doing the work they do.
The dedicated conferencing space also enables In Touch to enhance the events calendar available to their 40,000 members. There’s been a broad selection of evening networking events delivered throughout the year since the firm moved into the premises in December 2018.
Why is the workplace appropriate?
Over the past five years In Touch has grown from a team of six to now having over 130 employees based in Manchester. Being able to evolve and adapt within this space, was something that has been invaluable to the growth of the business.
Who works there?
This office is the main base for the company with 132 members of the team based there. The office houses the organisation’s Marketing, Business Development, Sales, Human Resources, Customer Care and Finance teams as well as being the main office for their CEO Matthew Roberts.
Think your workspace is wonderful?
