Office space in Stockport historic town centre

Young, entrepreneurial businesses need look no further for office space in Stockport than the historic Market Place area of the town centre.

Merchants House, originally occupied by the Post Office in the 1820s and by the Bank of Stockport in the 1850s, is located in the heart of the Market Place and provides modern, flexible office accommodation.

Businesses who want to progress from home-working or up-size can also access a range of one-to-one business support and workshops, making the centre ideal for start-ups and entrepreneurs.

Owned by Stockport Council and managed by Oxford Innovation, Merchants House provides excellent office space in Stockport with office suites available from 100 sq ft on all-inclusive rolling monthly agreements, thereby providing flexible workspace in a central Stockport location and a hub for growing companies.

The Market Place and the neighbouring Underbanks area are undergoing a radical and exciting programme of investment which is seeing the historic fabric of the area restored. This includes the announcement by the Council of an anchor tenant for the historic Produce Hall adjacent to Merchants House, which will deliver a new street food and restaurant offer.

Merchants House is ideally located 10 minutes’ walk from Stockport’s railway and bus stations and near to Merseyway shopping centre and Redrock, the Council’s new £45 million leisure development that is home to the Light cinema and restaurants such as Loungers, Zizzi and Pizza Express.

Councillor Kate Butler, Cabinet Member for Economy and Regeneration at Stockport Council, said:

“Merchants House offers fantastic office space in Stockport in an incredible historical part of our town centre. There’s so much happening in Stockport in terms of regeneration and investment, so I’d encourage entrepreneurs to come join us and be part of an exciting time for Stockport.”

Nick Yates, Director of design agency Future which is located at Merchants House, said:

“The move to Merchants House has proved a great decision for our Stockport team. The bright office space successfully reflects our fresh, modern brand in a vibrant and exciting location that our clients appreciate, whether visiting us in the studio or meeting in one of the many café bars located close by.

“Our staff and clients benefit from the flexible commute options, being central for bus, train and motorway. The upbeat location has a real buzz and is a thriving hive of activity that stimulates a highly creative atmosphere within the studio.”
