CTI Digital's Exciting Move: A Fresh Start in Manchester's South Central

CTI Digital Relocates to South Central

The digital marketing agency CTI Digital has made a significant move, relocating its Manchester operations to a spacious 5,210 sq ft office at Bruntwood’s Deansgate building.

New Office Details

Workspace advisor Level secured a 10-year office deal for CTI, which employs over 200 staff across the UK and Europe. Previously, the firm was based at Two Express off Great Ancoats Street.

A Perfect Blend of History and Modernity

CTI's HR director, Laura Packwood, expressed excitement about the new office, stating, “We’re delighted to be working in a fantastic new office in Manchester city centre. South Central dates back to 1888 yet is now the perfect mix of a contemporary work environment and period character.”

Optimizing Space Post-COVID

The firm found that their previous office, located in the Northern Quarter, was underutilized, with only 50% of the space being used post-COVID. “By working closely with Level, we were able to get in early at South Central, allowing us to design the office to reflect how we work,” Packwood added.

Customization and Flexibility

The new office features 50 set desks, informal working areas, and additional meeting rooms, providing the flexibility to adapt to their work style. Packwood noted the transformation of the space into something tailored to their needs has been very exciting.

Insights from Level's Managing Director

Joe Averill, founder and managing director of Level, shared, “Helping CTI Digital navigate the market and find a space that met all of their requirements was an extremely satisfying job. Deep market knowledge is invaluable.”

Bruntwood's Commitment to Community

Josh Hancock, associate director at Bruntwood, emphasized the focus on creating flexible and inclusive spaces for businesses to connect and collaborate. He expressed excitement about welcoming CTI to South Central and supporting their growth journey.

A Historical Note

Interestingly, South Central, originally known as Central Buildings, was a packing warehouse for John Stevenson & Sons back in 1888.
