KPMG closes Manchester office in hybrid working move

KPMG is closing one of its Manchester offices as it moves to a hybrid working model.

The accounting giant said that it did not intend to renew the lease at its technology centre as new working patterns would require less office space.

The 100 staff at the centre will be encouraged to work from home and be given hot-desk space in its primary Manchester office at One St Peter’s Square, which it is being refitted to support collaborative working.

KPMG said in February that it would invest £44m to implement a new working model this year, with the majority spent on home-working technology for staff and the rest on office redesigns.
