The University of Manchester team are exemplary and couldn't be better partners to work with on conferences and events. Throughout the process the team are supportive and pro-active, right through from planning an event to delivery and excellent catering on the day. The Whitworth Hall is an awe-inspiring setting to host conferences and the UoM team are every bit as impressive. We love working with UoM and will continue to do so for as long as we can.Joe Roche, GM, FinTech North
The neo-Gothic Whitworth Building is a Grade II listed venue and one of Manchester's architectural treasures.
