It has recently been announced on the BBC North West News, that Salford will be politically divided into Manchester constituencies over the two years.
The City of Salford will be politically divided into parts of Manchester and by the next general election in 2015, there will be no Salford constituency. The North West England will see a cut in the number of seats down to 68 and these constituency changes will be finalised in October 2013.

Does this mean that Salford’s main identity will be lost?

Not only will Salford’s seats be cut and will politically be no more, the University of Salford will be ‘adapting’ its name to the ‘University of Salford, Manchester’. This change will also include a change in logo to incorporate ‘Manchester’ Salford Cathedral and Media City, the new home of the BBC. These will be become part of Manchester Central. The University of Salford is due to make this change by 19th September 2011.

So, what’s going where?

Manchester Central will now include Langworthy, Ordsall, Weaster and Salford Quays to join alongside Hulme, Ancoats and Manchester City Centre.
Leigh will include Irlam and Walkden.
Swinton will be the main constituency for Salford.

Where does the future lye for Salford?

Well, don’t get too excited by this political change because by 2030, Salford will become Manchester.
The Salford Star exclusively published that Salford will experience a region city centre boundary change, which will include – Manchester to the Media City and Manchester to the Innovation Forum on Frederick Road.

The recent UK Riot destroyed many lives and businesses around the UK, but capturing the 1000s of looters and rioters involved is the hard part.

Greater Manchester Police became frequent Social Network users in order to keep residents of Manchester and Salford up to date with any riot action that was predicted to take place on Tuesday 9^th August, advising those to shut businesses early in preparation, during the riots and also after.

11 Out Of 10 are pleased to announce that we were runners up at the Salford Business Awards in the Innovation Category.

The award ceremony took place at the Lowry Hotel and a lot of the focus of the night was on the bright future of Salford as businesses celebrated surviving the recession and looked forward to the investment and regeneration work that will be taking place in the city, a highlight of which is the BBC moving to media city.

The winning submission was won by Mister Blister, who is a leading thermoforming packaging company and interestingly enough – a long time customer of 11 Out Of 10.

Although, 11 Out Of 10 may not have won the award itself on the evening, we take great pride in being voted “runner up” in such a highly thought of award ceremony, especially with so many cutting edge businesses all competing just to be shortlisted.



11 Out Of 10 are proud to announce that they have once again been shortlisted for a prestigious business award.

This time it’s for the 2011 Salford Business Awards, which will take place at the Lowry Hotel on the 7^th April 2011.

The nomination is for our innovative work with our client Pure Gym, and follows close on the heels of winning the Prestigious 2010 Big Chip Awards for Best eBusiness.

Pure Gym is a new concept in the leisure industry: a 24/7, contract free, no frills gym based in the heart of UK cities and this concept is underpinned by a new online management system developed by 11 Out Of 10.

Client memberships can be completed within a matter of minutes – in the comfort of a client’s home or in the gym foyer – and thereafter entry can be gained with immediate effect. The new system dispenses with the need for reception staff, card readers or any paper based systems to be employed. Gym membership is open 24/7 and all barriers to signing up at any time of the day have been removed.

Whilst being nominated a finalist is an incredible achievement in its own right, winning a Salford Business Award would provide valued recognition and mean so much to the 11 Out Of 10 team, who conduct most of their business in and around the Manchester and Salford city areas.
