Empress Building



This building on the corner of Chester Road and Empress Street is the Empress Business Centre.  The centre's website says that it has transformed this Victorian building into, " ... a modern business environment, providing offices, a coworking space, meeting rooms, workshops, storage units and a mailbox service."  They add that, " ... The building still retains some of its Victorian character, with vaulted ceilings in some offices and an original wrought-iron staircase."

A stone plaque high up on the building announces its name.



However, it didn't always say that.  An old photograph of the building shows a different name and explains its history.



This was indeed the "Empress Brewery", apparently opened in 1880 by Charles Dawes.  In 1884 control switched to William Henry Fulford who had recently sold the Monarch Brewery in Salford.

Once the Empress Brewery, the Empress Business Centre in Manchester has been transformed into a modern business environment, providing offices, a coworking space, meeting rooms, workshops, storage units and a mailbox service.

The building still retains some of its Victorian character, with vaulted ceilings in some offices and an original wrought-iron staircase. It is managed by our friendly business centre manager, who is based on-site Monday – Friday. Our administrator offers secretarial support as and when you need it from our central reception area on the ground floor. This includes a telephone answering service, photocopying and faxing.

The reception is open 9am – 5pm, but access is available at all times via our security team. The ground floor is also home to our break-out area, where you can relax and get to know staff from other companies based at the business centre.

Despite being only ten minutes away from Deansgate city centre, we provide a free customer car park and a visitors' car park. Our CCTV system monitors the car parks and entrances and exits to the building, giving you total peace of mind. We use the services of Total Security Solutions, who have chosen to house their head office at our business centre.

One of Bizspace's key benefits is our flexibility. You can opt for licences from 1- 12 months, with instant access and with units ranging from 110 - 4,348 square feet (10 - 403.93 square metres), we can cater for both small and larger businesses.
