“were absolutely thrilled. It’s a fantastic award to win”

“We have won the award for international growth, which is both in size and scale, and our work is as relevant here as it is abroad.

We love Mediacity. And I love it particularly. For me the office is the heart of the business and this is our home.

“This is a fantastic place to be. Its vibrant, its energetic, it feels like a nice place to be.

“We are seeing a real change, and a lot more company’s looking to redeploy to Salford and Manchester.

“it takes big bold decisions to bring the companies like the BBC to Salford, which many people at the time questioned if it would work, but it feels to me like it has been a tremendous success.”
