Manchester fintech firms find new home at the Chamber

Digital financial advice and employee benefits platforms, OpenMoney and WorkLife, have taken up a new home in the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce (GMCC) offices, in a partnership which sees three strong Manchester-focused brands brought together under one roof.

Born and bred in Manchester, OpenMoney and WorkLife are keen to build on their strong presence in Manchester, partnering with GMCC means the firms can further help support and collaborate with local businesses and the Greater Manchester community.

With over 4,200 members, GMCC provides businesses in the Greater Manchester area with a platform to connect with other businesses, communicate their message and create opportunities for a skilled workforce. Based in a stunning grade II-listed building, GMCC also offer affordable and accessible space for meetings and events.

Patrick Leahy, CEO for OpenMoney and WorkLife said: “Manchester is our home and it’s our community. When we were looking for a new office, there was no question of it not being here. We want to work more closely with local businesses and being a part of the GMCC network has really helped with that and hope we can extend this further now that we’re all under one roof!”

Lewis Crowe, head of membership & commercial at Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce said: “We’re thrilled to be welcoming the OpenMoney and WorkLife staff to the Chamber as our newest tenants.

“We are keen to further develop Elliot House as a home for various businesses - whether this is through our office space offering, our venue or our Members Lounge. We are delighted about this addition to our community and look forward to work together going forwards.”
