The new facility, which sees the company return to the city centre after a two-year gap, will feature two studios and will be available for booking from next month.

The Manchester site sees Aspect return to two sites and is in addition to its Stockport facility.

Lydia Fuller, research director at Aspect, said on LinkedIn: “We are very excited to announce some big news from Aspect Viewing Facilities and its return to Manchester city centre.

“It’s been a tough few years for viewing around the world, but now feels the right time for Aspect to return to two sites, offering access to city centre as well as more suburban participants through our Stockport facility.

“I personally couldn’t be more delighted that the industry is getting back to face-to-face research, there really is nothing quite like it.”
