Local knowledge

Built for Manchester’s ambition

Manchester helped invent the modern world — the first true industrial city, home to the world’s first stored-program computer (the Manchester “Baby”) and the place where graphene was first isolated. That pioneering, build-it-here spirit still runs through the city’s thriving digital, media and professional-services economy. Foresight helps Manchester businesses live up to that heritage with IT and cyber security that’s genuinely enterprise-grade — without the enterprise price tag — and the responsiveness of a partner just up the road.

Local knowledge

The world’s first industrial city — still pioneering

Manchester never does things by halves. The world’s first industrial city and the original “Cottonopolis”, it went on to build the world’s first stored-program computer — the “Manchester Baby” — at the University of Manchester in 1948, and it’s where graphene was first isolated in 2004. That inventive, get-it-done spirit still runs through the city: Manchester is now one of the UK’s fastest-growing digital and tech hubs outside London, with deep strengths in professional services, property and media. We’re proud to support ambitious Manchester businesses that expect their technology to keep pace with the city’s momentum.
