Rise certainly ‘rises’ above all other office and meeting point venues in Manchester. It is strategically placed in the heart of Manchester close to amenities, the tram/train station and discounted parking facilities for Central Working tenants. Not to mention being above Grindsmith for high quality coffee and meetings. The venue is well equipped with state of the art tech and meeting/presentation rooms, as well as a hub of entrepreneurial talent, including the likes of Tech North; all of which are great for networking and creating a positive and inspirational working environment. The General Manager of Central Working, Steven Bailey, is very supportive for all your business needs and requirements. He is always smiling, friendly and professional by making sure Central Working is well maintained and managed.

Good for small meetups like 40-50 people. Screen and sound are good.

Very friendly and helpful staff from Grindsmith cafe and Rise and great facilities. Thanks

Rise is a brilliant venue, our meetup group, Potentialisation, meet there every month and the service is always great. The venue itself is extremely well equipped and all for the unbeatable price of no charge at all. Because it is sponsored by Barclays you just have to pay for drinks and food, rooms are free.

Perfect place to have a meeting and grab delicious coffee. Very helpful and friendly people.
