Welcome to Matchworks
Matchworks — South Liverpool’s architecturally iconic business district, is brimming with brilliantly designed workspaces, studios and light industrial units that are home to a mix of crafters and grafters, from small start-ups to national occupiers.
Matchworks was pioneering in its design, being the first building in the United Kingdom to use the flat–slab concrete technique. It became Bryant & May’s flagship Match Factory in 1923.
Today, this multi award-winning scheme offers some of the best designed workspace in South Liverpool; the versatility of its offering means it’s home to all kinds of businesses — big and small, from ‘one-man-bands’ through to multi-national PLCs.We’re making changes at Matchworks, because wellbeing at work matters. With its striking architecture surrounded by plenty of green space and a host of great facilities, working at Matchworks enables you to go beyond the 9—5 by living well and working better.
At Matchbox, you’ll find our fantastic on-site gym 24/7 fitness – who (you guessed it!) are open 24/7! They’ve a great range of facilities and an action-packed timetable for classes. We’ve also got bike storage on site, so if you’re a keen cyclist, you’ll have somewhere to store your pride and joy whilst you head into the office.

Availability
The Climbing Hangar at Matchworks
We’ve reached new heights with this awesome amenity; our brand-new Climbing Hangar and flagship centre which will ‘peak’ the interests of everyone working in and around Matchworks.
This exciting new space is packed with bouldering walls. Don’t know what bouldering is? Basically it’s a form of rock climbing performed on small artificial walls without the use of ropes or harnesses.
There are super surroundings too; open social spaces for you to hang out with colleagues and friends, and a café to refuel in.

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.
