Where and how we are working has never been under so much scrutiny. Is the North West office market thriving or flailing? Has the work from home bubble burst? Are we building too many offices or not enough? And what do the answers to these questions mean for our towns and cities, both now and in the future? Our experts will give an overview of the market across the region and delve into the challenges and opportunities workspace is throwing up.
