Over the centuries, Manchester has been famed for many things: as the powerhouse of the Industrial Revolution (once known as “Cottonopolis”) and more recently for two great football clubs—United and City—and its “Madchester” 1980s rave culture focused around the legendary Hacienda nightclub.
Manchester is in the spotlight again. It’s become a better place than London to look for employment in the UK, according to a recent jobs report from Bloomberg Reed. It can also lay claim to being the sole UK city to land on National Geographic’s Best of the World 2023 list.
