The Vault – A bespoke workspace for growing enterprises

June 25th 2021

Flexible workspace is on the rise. According to Inc.com, it’s estimated that by 2022 there will be over 25,500 coworking spaces around the world.

Gone are the days where the idea of coworking was a few hot desks, ping pong tables and comfy sofas spread across a ‘cool’ office… Many businesses are now appreciating that coworking translates as a viable business solution to foster growth, retain top talent, build company culture (we’re talking a work life balance!) and be part of a wider community with likeminded leaders. 

But as a large business, how do you make the move to a flexible workspace and enjoy all the benefits, without losing the feel of your company’s own space to keep your team connected? A bespoke membership offering is the best of both worlds.


Introducing The Vault, an Enterprise workspace by Department XYZ.

Situated in the heart of Spinningfields, The Vault is designed with larger businesses in mind. As an Enterprise workspace membership, the largest membership available in Department, The Vault is an exclusive 2500 sqft space with multiple work stations for teams up to 70, private meeting rooms, breakout space and the flexibility for a bespoke configuration. It’s a workspace within a workspace. 
At a glance, The Vault comes complete with:

  • 24/7 access
  • Blend of open working and private studios
  • Breakout space
  • Contemporary design with washed concrete, crittall doors and natural wood
  • Desk storage
  • Natural lighting
  • Member discount across all Department’s facilities
  • Access to Department’s work, wellness and social amenities

Work, wellness and social:

Department combines work, wellness and social experiences to support members’ work life balance – just one of the ways a flexible workspace can contribute to company culture agendas. Or for established businesses who are keen to maintain a culture they’ve worked hard to build, an Enterprise membership enables the privacy to do just that, whilst opening up opportunities to enhance existing initiatives. 

Members benefit from access to fitness facilities (and weekly wellbeing classes), engaging social spaces and a network of industry resources. 

Location, location, location:

It’s not just inside the box that stands out; outside the box, Department XYZ places your business in Manchester’s business district and the UK’s leading business quarter. Not to mention the iconic retail and dining destination on your doorstep with that Spinningfields is renowned for. 

Form and function:

Department XYZ is visually impressive, adopting the contemporary styling of the XYZ building, but also leads the way in enabling sustainability to become integral to the workspace. The XYZ building utilises 100% green energy and offers free bike storage to encourage sustainable travel to work. 

In addition, Department’s meeting rooms offer Zoom and Teams capabilities to provide flexibility for remote teams to dial in, saving on travel requirements. Ideal for businesses considering The Vault as a satellite office to expand in Manchester.

Coffee and conversation:

Department XYZ benefits from an in-house coffee shop serving all important workspace fuel in Extract coffee, breakfast, lunch and sweet treats. Member discount is available across all food and drink outlets within Department, so members in The Vault need not be concerned with where to grab a coffee close to the office! Or unlimited tea & coffee is always available in Department’s shared kitchens. 

As well as Department’s shared breakout spaces, The Vault also includes private seating areas of its own, meeting rooms and private studios for focused working.
