Intelligent Lending sets up at MediaCity’s Orange Tower
Three companies, Ocean Finance, CredAbility, and TotallyMoney, make up the fintech group, which will set up its headquarters at the Salford office block.
The 6,800 sq ft space on the seventh floor is suitable for hosting up to 250 employees based across London, Cyprus, and Italy.
Intelligent Lending offers financial products, services, and advice.
Simon Kay, chair of Intelligent Lending, said: “Greater Manchester is fast becoming one of Europe’s leading fintech hubs, and it’s an exciting place to be.
“With its continued regeneration and government backing, which is expected to attract £10bn of investment over the next 10 years. We’re extremely pleased to call Salford our new home.”
CBRE and Canning O’Neill were the agents for the deal.
Orange Tower also hosts ITV, Kellogg’s, and the University of Salford.
In September last year, Orange Tower’s 10th floor underwent a refurb by architect Chapman and Taylor with contractor Consensus Workplace.
Landsec, which also owns Liverpool ONE, completed the full acquisition of MediaCity in a £83m deal in November 2024.
Chris Reay, director at Landsec, added: “As a global hub for media and tech innovation we’re delighted to welcome Intelligent Lending to MediaCity, where, as part of its unique ecosystem, they will be able to access emerging technologies and a talent pipeline to support its burgeoning businesses at the cutting edge of fintech.”
