The company was growing fast at its Colne base, but the next stage of expansion meant a move became necessary.

Building out their technology and app meant that a large number of developers would need to be recruited, and that meant that a Manchester city centre location would be required to attract these people to the business.

Budget was a consideration at this vital stage of growth, and the team needed to gain insight into the Manchester office market to ensure that they got what they needed without breaking the bank.

To facilitate their growth plans, the company's list of office essentials included space for all the new hires, a true community feeling, high levels of amenities and a technology hub.

The search begins

With this information in hand, the Level team considered the available budget and the space requirements before presenting The Modern Milkman with a range of options in the city centre.

One option in particular stood out to ourselves and client - Bonded Warehouse at Enterprise City. The building had funding for a tech accelerator run by Tech Nation which offered subsidised office space for businesses like The Modern Milkman.

With that knowledge in hand, we were able to secure a great deal for the client in an ideal workspace which also came with high quality amenities like a gym, gin bar, collaboration areas, events and a community.

Overall, we achieved a 36% discount for the client and ensured they had a landlord with experience that could help them scale up fast.

Expansion lead, James Summerton said “We are delighted to make the move into the city centre which is a key move for us to support our significant hiring drive. 

“Working with Level was a very personable experience, they delivered impartial advice and provided us with key information necessary to make the best workspace decision possible for The Modern Milman team.

Joe Averill, Managing Director at Level, said: "Modern Milkman is one of the most exciting businesses coming out of the UK and it’s great to represent them on finding their new workspace in Manchester for their technology team and senior management.

"They are a great addition to the city and I can’t wait to watch their growth trajectory!"
