The BDA Manchester office opened in May 2008. By developing a more regionalised approach, the BDA aims to be more responsive to its members. Opening the Manchester office is an important step towards achieving this goal. There are currently five members of BDA staff based in Manchester, and we will be developing the office and adding more staff as time goes on.
The BDA Manchester office is in central Manchester, about 15-20 minutes’ walk away from Piccadilly railway station. The tram service is excellent, with the nearest stops being Market St (2 mins walk), Piccadilly Gardens (5 mins walk) and Mosley Street (3 mins walk, southbound only).
