Department of Coffee and Social Affairs CEO Ashley Lopez said, "We are thrilled to be opening in Manchester, a city with such a dynamic entrepreneurial and arts culture and one we have been looking to locate in for some time."
"With 1.91 million professional freelancers in the UK, the increasing demand for flexible workspace is constantly growing. Manchester is no exception to the trend, and we are supporting this demand by dedicating space in our new site to cater for those professionals who need an alternative workspace," she added.
