Forvis Mazars Doubles Manchester Office Space Following Exceptional Growth

Forvis Mazars, a leading global professional services network, today announced its plan to move to The Aviary in Manchester City Centre to enhance the client experience across the North West. The relocation is designed to provide a modern, collaborative workspace for its rapidly growing team. It is anticipated that the office will officially open in September 2026.

Currently operating from One St Peter’s Square, Forvis Mazars is expanding its presence, relocating the team to approximately 26,000 sq ft of premium office space at The Aviary. This move more than doubles the size of the firm’s current footprint and comes as a direct result of exceptional growth in Manchester – with headcount having grown significantly, reflecting the expansion of services and rising demand for its expertise in the region.

The Aviary is designed to champion sustainability and innovation. The building is one of Manchester’s most sustainable and digitally advanced commercial spaces, designed to achieve BREEAM Excellent certification, NABERS 5★ rating, WiredScore Platinum, and EPC A. This aligns with Forvis Mazars’ proactive approach to enhancing the sustainability of its operations. The new office will also feature an innovation lab, designed to host client sessions focused on solving complex business challenges and driving forward-thinking solutions.

Steve Abbott, Manchester Office Managing Partner at Forvis Mazars in the UK, commented: “Our move to The Aviary is about creating a space that matches the ambition and energy of our Manchester team of over 400 people led by 20 partners. This new office gives us room to grow, collaborate, and innovate at scale. The addition of an innovation lab means we can work side by side with clients to tackle their biggest challenges and unlock new opportunities for their businesses.”

Gareth Jones, Partner and Head of Growth at Forvis Mazars in the UK, added: “Manchester is a dynamic, thriving business hub, and The Aviary gives us the space and facilities to match that energy. By investing in this new office, we’re reinforcing our commitment to the North West and ensuring businesses here have access to the expertise and innovation they need to succeed.”

William Badger, Asset Manager, M&G Real Estate, said: “We have delivered a modern, amenity‑rich office that reflects the evolving needs of global firms, offering a prime location, strong connectivity, robust digital credentials and institutional ownership. This letting reflects the clear ‘flight to quality’ we’re seeing in the market, as occupiers seek best‑in‑class offices. We are excited to welcome Forvis Mazars to The Aviary.”
