AO is to take the entire 15th Floor of 111 Piccadilly in Manchester, for its new creative hub.
The online electrical retailer will move into Bruntwood SciTech’s fully fitted and furnished workspace, which will be the new home for its animation, production and graphics teams.
“Being able to have a fully managed satellite office to support our continued growth and innovation is invaluable to us, and something that will set us apart from others in our field,” said Vicky Monk, AO’s Group Marketing Director.
“We’re looking forward to rejoining the Bruntwood SciTech community and becoming part of the 111 Piccadilly ecosystem of forward-thinking, creative businesses.”
The Bolton business will share the office building with tech companies including Be.EV and Total Processing.
“Following a long-standing and positive relationship with AO during their time as a customer at Baskerville House, we are incredibly excited to welcome them back into the Bruntwood SciTech portfolio as the firm looks to strengthen its creative offering,” added Joshua Hancock, Associate Commercial Director at Bruntwood SciTech.
“There is no better home for them to do so than in Manchester – recently named the UK’s ‘creative capital’ – and at 111 Piccadilly specifically, where the team will be surrounded by like-minded, forward-thinking tech and creative businesses.
