Manchester has been a major economic centre in the United Kingdom since the 19th century, when it became the world's first industrialised city. It was heavily involved in the textile industry and the production of cotton. This continued up to the end of the World War Two but by this point the port and financial district of the city had developed and by the 1960s Manchester had the third largest port in the United Kingdom.

Nowadays the economy is the largest in the UK outside of London. This is mainly due to the legal and banking sectors which are predominant in the city. Manchester is the third most visited city in the UK; a vast proportion of these are business travellers, many of which stay in serviced apartments Manchester.

Spinningfields is the largest business development in Manchester in recent years.

This has fuelled comparisons between Spinningfields and Canary Wharf; the Manchester Evening News even went as far as to call it the Canary Wharf of the North. This bustling business area is in constant need of accommodation for people on corporate travel and the surrounding area has an abundance of serviced apartments Manchester.

Other important businesses in the area include the Co-operative Group, which is the world's largest consumer owned business.

Manchester is of course also famous for its two football clubs, Manchester United and Manchester City. Income from these two clubs alone totals nearly 500 million.
