As the demand for new property in Manchester increases and the trend for large organisations to move operations to the North continues, POD Management is introducing its innovative style of home management to the thriving city and its residents. Having secured its first contract at the Fabrick development in Cheadle Hulme, the company, which is backed by entrepreneurs James Caan and Faisal Butt, will manage the new development of 184 micro-homes. Dedicated to enhancing its customer’s lives by taking care of their homes, POD Management prioritises exceptionally high levels of customer service. Residents can expect an excellent service from POD, tailored to their lifestyle, with round the clock support and local community engagement through myPod. Residents at Fabrick will enjoy an online forum to help them get to know their neighbours from the day they move in. Living spaces at Fabrick have been optimised using intelligent, hallway-free design to provide homes that are in reach of first-time buyers. Residents also enjoy Community Living through shared social spaces including an impressive reception area created by POD, rooftop terrace and a club lounge, flexibly designed to be a co-working space by day and music/ event space by night. David Goldberg, Founder and CEO of POD Management, commented: “Manchester has become a hotspot for UK and overseas investment. This, combined with its rich cultural heritage makes the city a key target for us too, as we grow the business. With a desire to create enviable homes, Inspired Homes is a developer with a similar mindset to our own, making Fabrick a perfect vehicle to launch POD in Manchester.” Fabrick is two minutes’ walk from Cheadle Hulme railway station for a 16-minute journey into Manchester Piccadilly and a 10-minute drive from Manchester Airport and its new £800m Airport City Manchester development. Martin Skinner, Founder and Chief Executive of Inspired Homes, said: “We look forward to working with POD and were excited by their proposal, which we thought would provide the best experience for our residents. Like POD, Fabrick is our first development in Greater Manchester so we want to make a good impression and raise our brand profile for future schemes in the region.” According to IP Global, business is booming in Manchester with large multinational businesses now headquartered in the City, as part of the North-Shoring trend, including Barclays Bank. The city now boasts the highest number of digital sector jobs outside of London and it is considered as one of the fastest growing cities in the UK.
