Book directly and save 7% versus Airbnb or Booking.com.
Old Trafford pairs two of Manchester's most famous sporting venues with the vast employment hub of Trafford Park. One of Europe's largest industrial estates, Trafford Park employs more than 50,000 people across over 1,200 businesses, from global food manufacturers and logistics operators to engineering firms and distribution centres. For project teams on site in this area, finding the right accommodation makes a real difference to how well the work goes.
A serviced house near Old Trafford and Trafford Park provides the practical infrastructure a contractor crew needs: a full kitchen, a washing machine, off-street parking and space for a team to gather in the evening. It costs less than the same number of hotel rooms and works better for anyone on a project lasting more than a few nights.
Trafford Park has been undergoing continuous investment and development. Contractors working on civil engineering, fit-out, maintenance and infrastructure projects across the estate need accommodation that works for a crew: parking for work vehicles, a kitchen for early starts and late finishes, a washing machine and enough space for the whole team to spread out.
We offer block-booking rates for project durations. Contact us with your crew size, project location and expected stay length for a direct quote.
Old Trafford is home to two internationally recognised venues: the football stadium and Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground, which hosts England internationals, major county fixtures and concerts. Visitors travelling for a match, a cricket fixture or an event at either venue often find that a serviced house is considerably better value than a hotel, particularly for a group of three or four.
Briar House, our South Manchester property, is around 15 to 25 minutes from both venues by car and is available on event weekends. Book early: demand peaks sharply around major fixtures and sell-out events across both stadiums.
Several major businesses are headquartered at or near Trafford Park, from global food manufacturers to logistics and engineering companies. New starters arriving for an induction period, project teams visiting for a client engagement or professionals in the early stages of a Manchester relocation all benefit from a properly managed serviced property. The rate is fixed and all-in, with a direct management line throughout.
We work with corporate bookers and HR teams. Direct invoicing is available for stays arranged through a company account.
Trafford Park was the world's first purpose-built industrial estate and remains one of the largest in Europe. Understanding its geography helps when choosing accommodation: the estate extends across a large area north and west of Old Trafford, bounded by the Manchester Ship Canal to the north.
Trafford Park is home to major food and consumer goods producers. Kellogg's has operated a cereal manufacturing plant on the estate for decades. Procter & Gamble and other fast-moving consumer goods companies maintain significant operations here. For engineers, technicians and logistics personnel working at these facilities on placements or project contracts, accommodation close to the estate reduces daily travel time and costs.
The estate's access to the M60 motorway and its proximity to the Manchester Ship Canal have made it one of the UK's premier logistics hubs. Major freight, warehousing and distribution operators are based here, including facilities serving national retail and wholesale networks. Shift patterns in logistics and warehousing can involve unsocial hours, making self-catering accommodation significantly more practical than relying on hotel food service.
Civil and mechanical engineering firms working across Trafford Park, on TraffordCity developments and on the wider Old Trafford regeneration area frequently need accommodation for visiting specialists and project crews. These teams require parking for vans, early access to a kitchen and enough space for a crew of up to four to live comfortably for two to eight weeks. A serviced house delivers all of this at a single fixed weekly rate.
MediaCityUK, home to the BBC, ITV, dock10 Studios and a cluster of digital media and production companies, is around 2 miles from Old Trafford and accessible by Metrolink via the Trafford Bar interchange. Visiting production crews, journalists, location scouts and media professionals often find Old Trafford and the wider Trafford area a well-priced and convenient base when working at MediaCityUK.
