Flexible office space provider Allied London has launched XYZ Works & Social in Manchester under its ALL Works & Social brand. Described by Allied London’s Michael Ingall as an "independent and boutique space", the location, which includes a dedicated fintech area called the Vault, is aimed at technology and digital disrupters in the city. Ingall said the workspace offered four types of membership, from the ground-floor lounge to private studio membership. Allied plans to open more sites in Manchester and Leeds.
The first venue from ALL Work & Social launched in Manchester last night, with plans for further workspaces to open in Leeds and Manchester.

Aimed at tech and digital disrupters, they’ve been described as “modern-day social clubs” with co-working spaces, events facilities and hospitality.

XYZ Works & Social is the first development, founded by Allied London’s Michael Ingall, he described its ethos as "an independent and boutique space that will uniquely connect all its members to each other, businesses on Spinningfields and the wider Manchester community.”

“We all work in a very different, more social way now, and it will continue to change rapidly over the coming few years,” added Allied’s group property director, Chris Reay.

“We are accepting members on 4 simple membership levels; social member of our lounge on the ground floor, social member of our hub on level 1, a resident desk membership or a private studio membership. Members can choose what suits them best, it’s easy to sign up and they’re not tied into a long contract.

“Members will have access to our events campaign, discounts, VIP treatment and our app which will allow profiles, social feed, meeting room bookings, coffee orders and events bookings."

The venue features “The Vault” which will be a dedicated fintech space. There will also be hot-desking, private suites and fixed desks. Finally a Level 7 Members Club, which will have dedicated onsite catering.
