A striking business community
This multi award-winning scheme offers some of the best designed workspace in South Liverpool; versatility in its offering means it's home to all kinds of businesses - big and small. There’s lots in store for 2019 at Matchworks including a new coffee shop, outdoor meeting space, ping pong tables and tenant events.
Matchworks is a combination of two architectural gems; the first - developed in 2001 was the site's former Bryant and May match factory with its iconic water tower, and the second - Matchworks II - a former storage building, has been converted to provide a variety of workshop, studio or light industrial space.
Both of these art deco structures were converted to create 166,000 sq ft of well designed, dynamic workspace for all types of businesses from start-ups to large PLC’s.

shedkm
shedkm work in a first floor studio in Bold Street, Liverpool - above Rennie's Art Shop. The space is open, informal and busy. We all sit at refectory tables with IT equipment in a central pod. Visitors are welcome, indeed encouraged, to look around. We like to think of our studio as a living advertisement for our skills and professionalism.
