Manchester-based workspace strategy and solutions company LEVEL is significantly expanding its presence across the UK – securing four office moves in Manchester, London, Birmingham and Leeds.

This follows appointment as nationwide workspace partner to Lancashire-based Cortus Advisory Group, which is led by award-winning CEO Nicola Merritt. 

Cortus is a mergers and acquisitions specialist which helps companies through the process of being bought or sold with five service lines which cover all parts of the process.

The company has moved from a serviced office in Spinningfields to the nearby ABC Buildings, St, John’s, Manchester and has taken space in Bruntwood’s Leeds Platform building, Orega Birmingham and HubHub, Farringdon, London. 

Merritt recently spoke at a BusinessCloud roundtable which celebrated International Women’s Day on fearing ‘tall poppy syndrome’ and the importance of lifting each other up.

On the moves, LEVEL founder and managing director, Joe Averill, said: “I am incredibly proud that what began in Manchester just a few years ago has already grown into a nationwide service, helping ambitious firms find the right workspace in every major UK city.

“Our work with Cortus Advisory Group on their national office transformation programme represents our growing operational capabilities. 

“Upgrading Cortus’ offices in Manchester, London, Leeds and Birmingham, is a brilliant milestone for both Cortus and LEVEL and reflects our commitment to delivering flexible, future-proof workspace solutions that align with each client’s unique culture and growth ambitions.”

Helen Johnson, head of operations at Cortus, added: “LEVEL delivered for us at every step. Their understanding of our needs, consistent delivery across regions, and hands-on approach made them the ideal partner for our national office strategy.

“In Manchester in particular it was about creating a base we could truly grow into, rather than constantly jumping from office to office. This space gave us a clear sense of identity and set the tone for our three other office upgrades in key UK regions.

“It’s incredibly reassuring to know we’ve got LEVEL as our trusted UK workspace advisor, ready to support us wherever we go next.”
