Virgin Media O2 has officially opened its new state-of-the-art North West HQ in central Manchester.

The new office, on John Dalton Street just off Deansgate, will be home to approximately 1,100 staff. 

With the lease of its Wythenshawe office due to expire in early 2026, the telecoms giant undertook a comprehensive review of its property options in the area and signed a 10-year agreement with Island to take around 50% of the new site. 

Island is a net zero carbon workspace being developed by joint venture partners HBD (part of Henry Boot plc) and Greater Manchester Pensions Fund.
