Recently joined Beehive Lofts and have thoroughly enjoyed my time here so far! The co-working space is bustling, but also quiet enough to crack on and get your work done. Everyone who shares the office space, alongside the staff at Beehive Lofts, are extremely friendly! There are regular social events and you're well looked after. Would highly recommend! More...

I've been working at Beehive for 9 months now and it is one of the nicest workplaces i've been. It's a welcoming environment, with lots of different areas for different styles of working. Filled with natural light and great facilities, there is everything you need. The space is always clean and well maintained. The community managers are so kind and are always around to help you when you need something, that being tech help, a charger or even help moving boxes. I would recommend joining this co-working space 100% to anyone. Big thank you to the Beehive Lower Loft Waulk Mill team! More...

We’ve been at Beehive Lofts for over three years, and it just keeps getting better. The team is always easy and accommodating—whether it’s sorting out a last-minute conference room booking or helping us get new desks together as we grow our business, they’ve got your back. The lofts themselves strike the perfect balance between professional workspace and relaxed hangout, with regular community events that make collaboration fun. Friendly staff, great amenities, and a genuinely supportive atmosphere keep us coming back day after day. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a vibrant, hassle-free office home! More...

"I joined a few months ago and it already feels like home. You don’t get that weird coworking awkwardness here. Everyone’s doing their thing, but happy to chat if you are."

Honestly it’s one of the only places I’ve worked where I’m happy to bring my dog and no one bats an eye. There’s water bowls, biscuits and people actually make a fuss of him. Plus I can get through a full day of work in peace. More...

Our team uses the meeting rooms here whenever we have something important on the agenda. Last week we ran a full day strategy session in the Workshop and it was spot on - loads of space to move around, whiteboards on every wall and natural light all day. You don’t feel like you’re boxed in to a boring office - it actually helps the ideas flow. Plus the coffee set up is much nicer than most cafés! Already booked again for next month. More...

I've been a member at the Beehive lofts for over a year now and I would highly recommend - it's a great co-working space with a homely vibe and a friendly atmosphere. The community managers go above and beyond to keep everyone happy and entertained, from run clubs, to cake parties, and art sessions.. there's always something going on! Special shout out to Hannah & Phoebe at Beehive Mill for always being so smiley, chatty and bringing the positive vibes! More...

I’ve been working at Beehive Lofts for over a year now and honestly couldn’t imagine a better co-working space. It’s more than just a beautiful workspace—it’s a real community. The team here are brilliant, always friendly and helpful, and they go the extra mile to make everyone feel welcome.It’s dog-friendly too, which is a huge plus—my chihuahua Bruno absolutely loves coming in and has made so many friends (human and canine!). The location in Ancoats is spot on, with lovely marina walks in the summer and loads of great lunch spots nearby.The workspace itself is amazing—spacious desks, loads of natural light, and a really relaxed but productive vibe. They’ve got a great selection of free tea, coffee, and waters, and the team even bake fresh pastries for members once a week, which is such a nice touch.There’s also a packed schedule of events focused on fitness, wellbeing, and connecting with other members, which really helps build that sense of community.Can’t recommend it enough—it’s a gem of a place to work from.

I have photographed multiple companies who not only work at Beehive Lofts permanently but also companies who want a beautiful space for their shoot and therefore rent one of the boardrooms for the day. It is such a beautiful space to photograph in and of course to work from. It offers a really relaxed environment with all the mod cons you need from an office space. More...

Been working from Beehive for a couple of years now and honestly, I still get little moments of “wow” when I walk in. It’s a beautiful space and you can tell how much thought has gone into everything-from the design to the way the community works. I’ve made real friends here, but it’s never pushy or ‘network-y’-just easygoing and supportive. There’s always fruit, the coffee hits the spot, and someone’s usually baked something. Can’t imagine working anywhere else. More...

Great space. We visited a dozen other ones and Beehive is by far the best co-working space in Manchester. The place feels very luxurious with a great vibe and people. The team at Beehive are lovely, very professional and helpful. Hannah and Phoebe are welcoming, always have a smile for us and keep the place to such a high standard.The facilities are great too. The range of teas, coffee and flavoured waters are refreshed daily, and there are speciality days such as pastry Thursday and Friday free beer at your desk (all included). They also run lots of community events such as weekly yoga, fun group events, running club, shared lunches and lots more. If there's a fee for an event, it's usually very reasonable.We're a small company of 2 people, and the space has a great mix of individual entrepreneurs, freelancers and small teams. There are some bigger teams a great balance.I can't recommend this place enough! We've been here since 2021 and loved every day of it. More...

Beehive Lofts is hands down the best coworking spaces we've worked in! Our team have been working out of here for a few years now, and it’s transformed the way we work. The community is great.

We've been there a couple of years now. I think we are one of the bigger clients and really happy to be so. In terms of business, its given us everything we need. Looks great and feels professional. The flexibility has been excellent as well. We've just flexed up and shifty up without any stress at all. The team are great and genuinely really incredibly helpful.

Luxury coworking spaces with great music, weekly events, comfy seating, well-equipped kitchen and lovely staff. The areas are all kept to a very high standard, but at the same time there is a friendly and informal vibe to it and people are open to interacting, which I really enjoy.

I've been working from Beehive for the last 2 years and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Yes, the space is absolutely incredible, but it's the Rachel and the rest of the Beehive team that really make it such a brilliant co-working space. They go above and beyond to make sure that the membership surpasses that of just your standard co-working space. They organise weekly socials, run clubs, lunches out and more and ensure that you have so many opportunities to network and mingle with other members. Whether you're working from home (and bored of the 4 walls of your makeshift office) or a company looking for a space to transition from home working to hybrid/office based then beehive should be first on your list.

Manchester Media Group have been working happily with Spotlight Studios for years, but they were particularly helpful this year when Fuse FM, our radio station, went through a rebrand.

Agreed with Ashley to create our website on 25.4.2023, They asked for £1200 up front, still today the website is not completed 27. 01 2024. The whole experience has been atrocious, we were suppose to launch our new business Sept 2023 but due to delays from Spotlight Studios could not launch, they take 3-4 days to answer emails also never answer calls always have to book a ticket. Don't abide by there own contract. I have had an independent expert investigate the website and it was a template website and we don't have full autonomy of website either. which means we have to keep going back to them to add anything. They have really caused a lot delays which has caused issues and they have a no refund policy. Taking them to court as the work is not up to standard. More...
