CityCo, The City Centre Management Company, is the not-for-profit membership organisation representing the business community in Manchester city centre. Through our various networks, we bring together over 1,500 companies.

We work across every sector and represent the needs of businesses with partners such as Manchester City Council, Transport for Greater Manchester, Greater Manchester Police, Marketing Manchester and many others.

We offer advice and help in planning new projects, link members, and make sure the city’s public agencies are aware of what the private sector needs to thrive.

CityCo members are in the best company. Our network includes Manchester’s leading names, from head offices to independents, property developers to professional services, and cultural attractions to bars and hotels.

Part of our work is managing the Manchester City Centre Business Improvement District (BID), which brings together retailers, hospitality operators and office tenants, and we will manage the new Northern Quarter BID from 2027.

We are also delivery partners for Manchester’s Accommodation BID (ABID), representing hoteliers.

We run the Manchester Business Crime Reduction Partnership (BCRP) and administer the Manchester Pub and Club Network.

This means we support hundreds of city centre businesses across multiple sectors and locations, and of all sizes. By bringing influential people together and providing expert guidance, our aim is to make the city work for everyone.

We offer a range of Business Support Services.
