On the Beach to make Manchester’s Aeroworks building its new home

While the majority of its workforce will relocate to the new building, the Contact Centre will remain at the office at Park Square, Cheadle – which will also undergo major redesign and refit – ready for early 2019. 

Simon Cooper, Chief Executive Officer at On the Beach said: “On the Beach is one of the leading technology businesses in the north and the move to Manchester’s city centre – and in close proximity to Piccadilly station – will no doubt allow us to better leverage this position in terms of attracting and retaining the very best talent in the region and beyond. 

“The new space and its state-of-the-art facilities have been designed specifically for our employees and shaped by their feedback and will allow us to become more collaborative, increasing our ability to innovate.  We look forward to being at the heart of the Manchester digital business hub.”

Cooper founded the business from his house in Macclesfield 14 years ago before relocating to larger premises at Towers Business Park in Didsbury.

In 2012, On the Beach relocated once again to its current headquarters at Park Square in order to allow the business to grow its workforce. In September 2015, following several years of continued growth, On the Beach floated on the London Stock Exchange.
