Preserving Heritage, Embracing Innovation: Rische Group's Refurbishment of Manchester Central's Exchange Suite

Manchester Central, a Grade II listed building in the heart of Manchester, was originally constructed in 1963 as Manchester Central railway station. This iconic structure, famous for its historic clock that draws tourists from around the world, required a thoughtful renovation of its Exchange Suite. The brief called for a comprehensive overhaul of their prestigious theatre room—a vital space where conferences and talks regularly welcome business owners, mayors, and other influential city stakeholders. This significant venue serves as a crucial hub where Manchester’s key decision-makers gather to showcase ideas and foster collaboration. Our transformation extended beyond the main theatre to include a complete redesign of the entrance and lobby areas. By reimagining these spaces, we created a more versatile, welcoming environment that better accommodates visitors and enhances the overall experience. The reconfigured lobby now offers flexible zones that support networking, informal meetings, and seamless transitions between events.

A Michelin Star Fit-Out

Mana was once a huge manmade box of glass, steel and concrete. Located in the middle of Ancoats, an area of Manchester that historically became a cradle of the Industrial Revolution and as such, is still quite industrial. This needed to be transformed into a space where people could feel in touch with the elemental forces of nature, the very ethos that embodies Mana. Simon Martin and his team wanted to create an informal dining experience, serving a multiple course menu to showcase the best of our islands produce at any time of the year. It was therefore imperative that the design was minimalistic and earthy in order to reflect the purpose of the experience and place importance on the dishes which are the feature of the restaurant. Designed by JRD in conjunction with ZSpace UK; Rische Group were instructed to execute the Fit-Out this incredible space.
