MINISTRY
Designed by business leaders for business leaders, Ministry of Work is pioneering the concept of a ‘third space’ for Greater Manchester.
A space curated with you in mind – away from the interruptions of your office and the distractions of home.
Where candid conversations on business challenges are the norm and you can plan your success alongside other ambitious leaders, without being sold to.
Set within a beautiful old chapel, originally built in 1891, our strictly limited membership is a world away from traditional networking, inefficient workspaces and awkward meetings in hotel lobbies or coffee shops.
Collaborate with the ‘who’s who’ of the region's top business leaders
Exclusive access to a luxury, distraction-free, workspace
Curated events & initiatives, to stimulate your personal & business growth
We are the region’s most exclusive business community, reserved for our most ambitious founders, entrepreneurs, and executives.
Created by founder Eddie Whittingham (previous exit to a NASDAQ-listed company), we are reimagining a ‘third workspace’ where you can be surrounded by like-minded business leaders.
We’re perfectly located away from your usual distractions, complete with free parking and premium amenities, in a building designed more like a ‘work spa’ than a workplace.
Welcome to the Who's Who of Greater Manchester's business leaders
From working with some of the UK’s biggest brands, such as O2 and Sage, Brad is the founder of You Know Who Digital.
After a decade in top-tier banking and corporate advisory roles, Danyal now owns a boutique debt advisory firm dedicated to helping founder-led businesses access the funding they need to scale.
Vivian seamlessly blends high-tech beauty treatments, frontline healthcare training, and a serial entrepreneur’s drive.
Hayley’s business sits at the intersection of high-level business support and personal concierge. It’s a rare blend of precision, practicality and people skills — and it’s growing fast.
With a decade in high-level leadership, John is a hands-on developer – bug fixing, refactoring code, and supporting a global dev team and aspirations for creating his own social skills company.
Gary has built Barlow Irvin, a mortgage brokerage, from the ground up to a team of seven – and is now focusing on how we can transition from business operator to business owner.
As a sole founder, scaling my startup to a multi-million-pound exit taught me that no one succeeds alone. The gaps in knowledge can be immense, but being surrounded by people who’ve walked a similar path helps you take shortcuts and avoid costly mistakes. Some of my biggest breakthroughs came from building a network where I was the least experienced person in the room—because that’s where real growth happens.
I created this work club to offer that same advantage: a space exclusively for high-performing business leaders and ambitious individuals who want to level up. Here, you’re not renting a desk to work from —you’re gaining access to a community where meaningful connections, brutally honest advice, and invaluable support are the norm. These are the kinds of conversations that drive real progress.
I truly believe that your environment shapes your success. This isn’t just about luxury; it’s about creating a focused, distraction-free space where you can work, connect, and grow alongside people who inspire you to aim higher.
