House Keeping
We often receive feedback about our friendly and accommodating staff from our clients. With every event we host, we are constantly looking to grow, improve and enhance the services that we can offer you.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team. To do so, simply fill in our contact form.
Here’s a quick look at how we got to where we are today.
1930s
Duncan and Foster's Bakery
Initially, the building we now use was part of a bigger complex including the buildings either side of us. Behind the walls and floors, some features still remain from the original bakery such as loading bays and signs of previous industry.
1980s
Members of a Local Church Purchase the Building
A small community of Christians come together and raise money to purchase the old bakery which was at that point out of use and in a state of disrepair. Members of that church each gave time and resources to convert the premises into a place that can accommodate large meetings and offices for its staff. Staircases are built, floors are laid and new entrances are added, among many other improvements.
1990s
University Summer Exams
Manchester Metropolitan University, just around the corner from the building, hired the space for their annual summer exams. This was the first real revenue and helped feed both into supporting the ministry of the church towards the City of Manchester, but also into the continued development and restoration of the building.
2004
Major Facelift
A big investment into the remodelling of the entrance area of the building and a complete rebuilding of the Auditorium and a new roof! King's House was at this stage the heart of a vibrant multicultural church.
2005
"King's House" Branded and Launched
The birth of the conference business proper, with a booking from the company one of our current employees worked for at the time.
2010
Trading Company of the Charity Launched
As revenue begins to grow and grow, we see our investment into the building and the area return as repeated business, with more and more clients. At this stage we set up a separate trading company of the charity.
Now
A Thriving Business, Feeding Profits into Changing Lives.
We are continually amazed at how far King's House has come as an organisation, from what was once a small group of individuals investing into a run down old bakery. Today we are a part of something amazing in the City of Manchester - we help to support the work of King's Church, including two 'Homes of Hope' which provide a safe haven for men struggling with homelessness. Over the years we have been able to support communities in the Democratic Republic of Congo and India, give towards emergency crisis funds and much more. We are also proud to employ a number of staff who share our heart and desire both to do a fantastic job of serving our clients, but also of serving the people of Manchester and being a part of a business that truly gives back.
King’s House Conference Centre is a limited company and the family business of King’s Church. It is set up to support the work of King’s Church as a charity.
It has a board of directors that serve the church in this capacity:
Andrew Longson - Gavin White - Graham Aves - Paul Francis - Rukaya Dake.
