Kelloggs to move HQ to MediaCityUK


Kellogg's is planning to relocate the UK headquarters from Old Trafford, Manchester to the Orange Tower building at MediaCityUK - the 200-acre mixed-use property development on the banks of the Manchester Ship Canal, early next year.

Arranged over nine floors and providing 158,758 sq ft, Orange Tower has views over the piazza and Quays, and is due to open in September

Kellogg's is the latest food and drink brand to be moving into the space, joining The Botonist. It will also be home to Salford University and ITV.

The cereal and snack business will move hundreds of staff from its current HQ, where it has been for almost three decades.

Kellogg Company was founded by William Keth Kellogg in 1906 in Michigan, USA. The cereals arrived in the UK in 1922 and in Ireland in 1924 and they opened their first factory in Old Trafford in 1938.

The UK and Ireland is the company's largest business unit outside of USA.

Almost 2,000 people are employed by Kellogg’s across four sites including the Manchester head office, Dublin, and there are factories in Manchester and Wrexham.
