A legal services firm is to relocate 500 employees to office space at MediaCity in Salford. 

HF, legal advisers to the insurance and commercial sectors, has committed to moving its Manchester office to Orange Tower's 16,040 sq ft grade A office space. 

The company will relocate the employees from Talbot Road to Organe's 11th floor which will help support its business growth plans within the tech, digital and creative destination. 

It joins high profile brands Kellogg's, Ericsson and ITV within the Net Zero carbon development.

The light, bright space, benefits from floor to ceiling windows with 360 degree views across Salford Quays and Greater Manchester. Also included are break-out, presentation and communal areas. 

The building also benefits from exceptional connectivity.

Ronan McCann, chief executive and managing partner at HF, said

"This is such an exciting step for our operations and people in Manchester. The flexible and inviting office space will give our teams a fantastic working environment in an easily accessible and desirable place, with amazing views over Manchester, Salford Quays and Old Trafford. 

"Our team in Manchester has been growing from strength to strength and we have plans to further scale the business over the coming months and years. Our new office space gives us the ideal base to support our growth and our flexible, hybrid working model."
