    Telcom Case Study

    case study 2018 Telcom Networks powers Manchester connectivity vision About Telcom Networks Manchester company Telcom Networks is a company on a mission. Simply put, it wants to build a nation where everyone has access to affordable, ultrafast internet. It’s an ambitious goal, certainly. But from the drive, passion and enthusiasm of its founders you get the feeling that given time they might just pull it off. It all started when two virtually penniless young entrepreneurs looked for the best place in the UK to start a tech business. Information outside London was scant, so they embarked on a bus tour to find out for themselves. Inspired by the Gates Foundation principle of giving back, they shared the data from the journey - by now called Tech Britain - with the rest of the tech community. Stopping off in London just long enough to attend Cabinet Office and Buckingham Palace summits, they The Loop has a terrific platform for helping returned to Manchester and then created the SpacePortX shared workspace for startups. us deploy the first Gigabit HyperCity right The key finding from their tour was just how woeful Britain’s internet connectivity was (as recently as 2016 “ here in Manchester. Being a regional player, it was the third worst in Europe according to the European Commission) and Telcom Networks was born The Loop is easier to access and a lot easier to turn the country into Europe’s best connected. It plans to do this one city at a time, creating what it to work with. They know the buildings, they calls HyperCities - places where fast, affordable internet is ubiquitous and all-pervasive.

  • North Campus Strategic Regeneration Framework May 2017

    North Campus Strategic Regeneration Framework May 2017

    Corridor Manchester: North Campus Strategic Regeneration Framework May 2017 Introduction This Strategic Regeneration Framework (SRF) has been prepared for Manchester City Council, with the intention that it can be used as a guide for the future redevelopment of Manchester’s North Campus – a site that is located south-west of Piccadilly Station; to the west of the Mayfield site and to the east of Oxford Road. The North Campus is one of the few large, centrally located sites in Manchester city centre yet to undergo major regeneration. There are vast opportunities that have been identified in the area that will allow this part of Manchester to reconnect with the city and with other redevelopments in its vicinity. It is anticipated that the North Campus will be able to provide and deliver numerous social, economic and environmental benefits to Manchester and to the wider North West region. This SRF analyses the existing location and identifies key characteristics which make North Campus a unique area of the city. An indicative masterplan has been proposed which brings together the key objectives and principles described in this framework, and sets out a framework that will help to ensure the success of the North Campus development. Key Contributors The North Campus SRF has been supported by a high calibre professional team with recognised urban design credentials and leading specialisms in the field of progressive, sustainable working environments for public and private sector clients. The team comprises the following: Bennetts Associates
