We are Manchester’s city centre management company
CityCo is an independent, not-for-profit, membership organisation that brings together public and private sector businesses and partners.
Our vision is to make Manchester city centre a more dynamic, exciting and interesting place; to ensure continuing economic prosperity, and to continue to strengthen the brand and reputation of the city.
One of our key aims is the development and promotion of Piccadilly. To address the area’s needs, CityCo manages the Piccadilly Partnership; a strategic group that drives forward initiatives and events to enhance the area.
Through our partnership work we seek to celebrate Manchester, to make the city a more engaging and accessible place to visit and in which to do business.
We’re a small, energetic, team that relies on the support of our members and stakeholders.
