Great staff, everyone working there is really helpful and friendly and I really enjoy the environment. However, the IT policies are crap and I wouldn't recommend this for any technically savvy businesses. They block URLs which aren't harmful (e.g. webpages about VPN providers), I can't push my work to GitHub via SSH as it's blocked for some reason, and I can't work on client projects that require me to connect to my clients' VPN as that's blocked too. It also appears that they use some custom policy for reinspecting network traffic which gives me serious privacy concerns - this isn't a normal way to run things. I've worked from a lot of different coworkings in different locations and never seen such a draconian IT policy being applied before.

Review for Generator Manchester We recently held a conference at Generator Manchester, and the experience was outstanding. They generously provided us with a meeting room for 4 hours, complete with coffee and snacks, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for our guests. The team also gave us a tour of the office and shared the amazing opportunities and facilities available here. It was clear they truly care about supporting the community and fostering connections. We’re grateful for their hospitality and professionalism, and highly recommend Generator Manchester to anyone looking for a place that combines great facilities with genuine care for people.

Generator is a fantastic and affordable co-working space that has been really helpful for my startup business. For advice, facilities and of course for just getting me out of the house!
Whether you're a day pass holder or a monthly member, you can access most amenities. Meeting rooms do require prior scheduling, and private offices are reserved for those with subscriptions. However, the lounge, kitchen, and breakout spaces are open to all. Complimentary services are also available regardless of membership tier, while ancillary services can be purchased separately or negotiated with Generator Manchester.
Generator - Royal Mills operates during regular business hours, as indicated above. For access outside of these hours, please contact the operator directly to inquire about any available options.
Coworking spaces typically have limited storage options, most of which are reserved for members with dedicated desks or private offices. With that said, it’s best to contact the coworking operator directly via the form on the right side of the page to learn about available storage options.
Yes, you can certainly take a tour of the space before signing up for a membership. In fact, it’s encouraged, to help you get a feel for what your workday will look like. Reach out here to set up a time to come and see the space.
For spontaneous collaboration and interaction, open desks provide an open and flexible environment. If you prefer a dedicated space with shared community elements, dedicated desks offer a great balance between personal space and interaction.
On the other hand, private offices are best suited for focused work and private interactions. They're ideal for solo workers as well as teams seeking a dedicated space, shielded from distractions.
Choosing the ideal coworking arrangement for you is about aligning your workspace with your work style, team dynamics, and project requirements.
