The City of Sharing 2024 is…
Manchester!
Take a bow Mancunians!
The organisers of National Share Scheme Day have named Manchester the UK’s ‘City of Sharing 2024’.
The City of Sharing title is a new and prestigious title, awarded annually to the city that demonstrates a commitment to community, and to the spirit of sharing.
Manchester has been chosen as 2024’s champion because of the City’s history of always being on the front-foot of progressive working rights.
Congratulations Manchester! This amazing city continues to be at the forefront of developing progressive working practices. We are proud to be supporting its workers through our serviced workspace & coworking venues.

Why Manchester?
The organisers of National Share Scheme Day cast their net wide and far to find the inaugural winners of the City of Sharing 2024 title.
Manchester has bagged the prize because the city is chock-full of companies that offer forward-thinking worker benefits, such as share schemes. The City has also been recognised for being the birthplace of revolutionary initiatives such as the Cooperative Movement.
Manchester has a rich history of sharing initiatives that have contributed to its modern identity as a powerhouse of tech, manufacturing and media.
Manchester played a pivotal role in the cooperative movement - one of the earliest examples of a cooperative society was created in Greater Manchester during the Industrial Revolution, emphasising a tradition of shared ownership, democratic control, and fairer rewards for work.
These traditions continue today via innovative startups like Thirst, through to household brands like The Co-Operative Group, Boohoo and Morson, and FTSE 100 behemoths like The AutoTrader Group… Manchester is continually making the world of work a better place to be.
