At last! FlyThe.Coop has finally got a space for you to come and co-work and collaborate with others in Manchester!

It’s been over a year since Fly The Coop Limited was established as a Cooperative and it’s been difficult finding the right space. But now we have: 36-40 Edge Street in the Northern Quarter of Manchester’s City Centre!

The building has been taken by MadLab who are using the ground and top floor as a HackSpace and we are going to use the first floor to offer co-working space and desks to those who want to meet other exciting people, collaborate on existing or new ideas/projects and work with a variety of people with different skills / knowledge / tools / etc!

We are opening the doors on the 1st of January 2010 and have already got all permanent desks taken! Of course there will be a couple of hotdesks which you can hire on a day by day basis – watch this website for price details and get in contact with us if you want to go on the waiting list for a permanent desk (ben@flythe.coop).

In the next few weeks running up to Christmas we will be renovating the space so it’s a lovely environment to work in. If you want to help us, let us know (ben@flythe.coop) – the more the merrier (and quicker!)

Many, many thanks to MadLab for offering this space and being patient with us while we worked out our budgets and cash flows etc. Also many thanks to Andrew Threlfall, Ian Moss, Paul Robinson, Ben Gibbs and Kevin Rutherford for the time, effort and money they have put in to getting FlyThe.Coop up and running over the last year and to Guy Dickinson for helping with the startup costs.
