While Stoke-on-Trent will always be our home, and we are incredibly proud of our roots in The Potteries, we’ve decided to give ourselves a presence in Manchester in recognition of the city being the UK’s biggest technology hub outside of London.

By initially taking up a five-person office at incspaces Mount Street close to Manchester Central Library, we’ve also put ourselves in a prime location to attract some great new talent into the company, and we also have scope to take more room in our new Manchester location as the business looks to recruit multiple web developer, marketing and account manager roles.

Andy Jones, co-founder and director at Aware Digital, said: “Manchester has rightly gained a reputation as an outstanding city for businesses in the creative, digital and technology industries to grow and thrive in recent years.

“It made sense then for us to grow our footprint by renting space in the city centre, as having a base in Manchester opens up a huge range of opportunities for us to grow as a business and become more established in a growing tech scene.

“Furthermore, Manchester and the surrounding area is also home to some outstanding talent. We would love to hear from both experienced talent who are already doing great work as well as budding marketers and developers, who will have the opportunity to get hands-on experience in a competitive job market, as we begin to take on more clients.”
