Multinational construction equipment company Hilti is moving its British Head Office to Manchester’s newest neighbourhood, Circle Square on Oxford Road.
Circle Square is a joint venture between Bruntwood SciTech and Vita Group, located at the heart of Manchester’s Innovation District and sitting on one of the best-connected public transport routes in the North of England.
Matias Järnefelt, managing director of Hilti Northern Europe and Great Britain, said: “After listening to feedback from our workforce we selected No.1 Circle Square as the new home for our British Head Office. The move marks our commitment to Manchester with its international airport, reputation for innovation, thriving construction industry and great universities.
“As the hub for Northern Europe, a more modern head office will allow us to better position Hilti on the international jobs market and attract global talent to come and work with our world class team.
Matt Lee, head of commercial for Bruntwood SciTech – Manchester, said: “Hilti choosing Circle Square for their new home after more than 30 years in Trafford is testament to the retail and amenities on offer there as well as Symphony Park, the first and largest new city park for generations. We’re looking forward to welcoming them to Circle Square later in the year.”
The move date is December 2020 and the business will occupy 42,000 sq ft on the second, third and fourth floors of No.1 Circle Square.
