Local projects in Greater Manchester
In Greater Manchester we mostly see showrooms and trade counters and cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
North West city centres and their surrounding towns have a strong food, drink and independent retail scene, with plenty of conversions of older shop units into cafés, bars and salons.
