A new home in Manchester for Advancing Analytics

Manchester has felt like the right next step for a while. We’ve got people here, customers here, and now we’ve got a base here too.

Opening our Manchester Base

As Advancing Analytics continues to grow, we’re delighted to be opening our first office in the North of England.

Manchester has been an obvious next step for us for a while. We’ve got people here, customers here, and we spend enough time in the city that having a base of our own started to feel less like a nice idea and more like common sense.

After holding our Company Kick-Off in Manchester at the start of the year, those plans moved a bit quicker. The team loved being there, and it felt like the right time to get on with it.

We’ve had a strong presence across the North West for a long time, and we’re properly involved in the local data community too, including regularly speaking at Manchester Databricks and Power BI meetups. We also work with customers across the region, so opening a space in the city felt like a natural next step.

We're still flexibility-first

This is not about dragging everyone back into an office five days a week and pretending it’s 2019 again. Our roles remain remote and hybrid because that flexibility matters to us. People do their best work in different ways. What this office gives us is another place for the team to connect properly, spend time together when it matters, and stay close to the customers and community we work with in the North.

We’ve also now had the chance to welcome customers, partners and friends of the business into the new space, with our launch gathering taking place in early April. It was never meant to be a big glossy show. Just a chance to open the doors, have some decent conversations and mark the start of something new.

Come and join us

So that’s the long and short of it. We’re in Manchester because it makes sense for our team, our customers and the community we’re part of. We’re glad to be here, and we’re looking forward to what comes next.

If you’d like to be part of that journey, or you’d like to collaborate with us, drop us a line.
