Who else thinks the colour of your coffee cup is important?

Very excited to have a new pub open directly below our office, couldn’t be closer 👌

After a few different venues over the 12 years we’ve been here, it’s finally back to what it should be, a proper British pub, just as it was over 200 years ago when it was called the Haunch of Venison. Bold move, but they’ve absolutely smashed it.

We’re on the second floor of one of the original Georgian townhouses, one of the first buildings in the Northern Quarter, with the pub now on the ground floor. It makes it even more special, having a Grade II listed venue like this in such a historic building (we even have our own Wiki page 🙀), right in one of the quirkiest, and in our view coolest, parts of Manchester, if not the UK.

It’s also refreshing to see, with so many pubs and establishments shutting across the UK and town centres struggling, that the opposite seems to be happening here. The whole area has transformed and thrived over the time we’ve been here, and that’s what makes it so exciting.

We popped in on opening night by chance, great atmosphere, brilliant food and beers, which didn’t hurt, and a really good crowd. Quirky, characterful, and right up our street.

Same team behind The Rat & Pigeon around the corner, so now we’ve got two of Manchester’s coolest pubs seconds from our front door.

Safe to say, we’ll be some of your most loyal customers.

We put the 22 Group team on the spot with some quick-fire questions.

Here's a little insight into the people who make it all happen - the energy, experience and what drives us every day. Take a look!

We loved bringing the Brades vision to life, creating a stunning, purpose-led website that feels calm, confident and unmistakably different.

Designed and built through FinanceStream (our financial services division), the site reshapes how wealth management is presented — focusing on legacy, impact and meaningful relationships, rather than products and jargon.

And we’re thrilled with the feedback:

“FinanceStream and 22 Group understood exactly who we are and what we stand for at Brades… The new website reflects our identity and direction — it feels calm, confident, and entirely bespoke to us.”

Take a closer look at the full case study and explore the site.

Discover how 22 Group designed and built a calm, striking and purpose-led website for Brades, transforming their rebrand into a powerful digital platform for entrepreneurs and business owners.

Great conversations and fresh perspectives at the SXSW London networking event last week. We're looking forward to what comes next.

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week, and sometimes, it's the simple things that make the biggest impact. The recent amazing blue skies and sunshine in the UK are a perfect reminder of how nature can lift our spirits and boost our mood. (Yes, we need the rain too, but let's be allowed to enjoy it for a little while 😊.)

This blue sky was captured earlier this week in Yorkshire. We hope you got to enjoy the same sunshine wherever you are (but where has it gone today?! 🤨)

Let's take a moment to appreciate the little things that help us feel good. 🌞💙

Yesterday was an emotional but exciting day at 22 Group and PropertyStream as we said goodbye to our Lead Creative Michael and welcomed Kate.

Michael’s been with us for six and a half years—he joined fresh out of uni and quickly became a key part of the team. Talented, reliable, and just a genuinely nice guy.

At the same time, we’re excited to welcome Kate as our new Lead Creative: friendly, confident, straight-talking, and committed—a perfect match for our values. We’re really excited about what’s to come.💥

A drink outside our local in the Northern Quarter was a must on his last day.
Thank you Michael, for everything! 🤩
