Commonplace joins Mayfield & Co lineup

Manchester-based social enterprise, Commonplace are taking up office at the city centre’s newest co-working space Mayfield & Co. Commonplace, a mobile event space operating out of a double decker bus host a range of events onboard including pop up spas, supper clubs, and talks across Greater Manchester.

Since receiving their donated double decker bus from Stagecoach Manchester in August 2016 the team behind Commonplace have been searching for a central Manchester office location to call home, with the added benefit of co-working with like-minded small businesses.

Following on from a successful crowdfunding campaign in December 2017 Commonplace are currently working on the designs to convert their double decker bus into a fully functional event space. They will be hosting creative community workshops in the city centre as part of the conversion. The ongoing ambition for Commonplace is to develop a city centre event series which harnesses the unique communities across Manchester and are accessible to all.

Roxanna Locke from Commonplace, said: “We are thrilled to be part of Mayfield & Co. We have partnership working in our DNA so the co-working environment suits us down to the ground.
“We’ve been on the lookout for a city centre base for some time and we jumped at the chance of being part of the new Mayfield. These are really exciting times.”

The co-working initiative is being brought forward by the Mayfield Partnership – a joint venture between Manchester City Council, LCR, Transport for Greater Manchester and mixed-use property regeneration specialist U+I.
