The Appointment Group set to move to larger Manchester offices
The Appointment Group (TAG) is moving to new offices in Manchester later this summer after ‘significant’ operational growth.
In four years the travel and event company has seen its workforce in the city more than quadruple to 30 staff.
It is relocating from Turner Street to 31 Booth Street in the heart of Manchester’s financial district.
Managing director UK Jodie Edwards-Locke said: "To accommodate this continued expansion, the new prestigious office will provide our staff with a greatly improved working environment, ensuring TAG retains excellent staff whilst appealing to prospective talent to join our business.
"This new premium location and modern facilities will also attract new customers in the North/West region and beyond. It has been an exciting four years, and we look at this new location as the start of another great chapter of TAG’s history."
The Appointment Group, which also has offices in London, was founded 30 years ago by Maurice Veronique and John Gianquitto.
Steve Barrass, who was previously Dnata Travel senior vice president, will join the company as chief executive in August.
