A Tameside entrepreneur is to invest £2m in revamping a nearby out-of-town workspace, with the move set to create around 20 jobs.
Jason Dixon, group CEO of Office Tech Holdings, said a variety of roles will be needed at Globe House on Globe Lane in Dukinfield - the former Bardsley Building to meet the needs of the 700 people who work there.
Mr Dixon said he is "thoroughly committed to building a stylish, modern-day environment for a flexible working community".

He said he is already using a team of Tameside-based building contractors and trades to complete the refurbishment work, which will be finished by November.
The roles will be in building management, hospitality, sales and support as well as customer service.
A spokeswoman for the firm said: "Top of the agenda is an experienced facilities manager and a chef, food and beverage manager, as well as a number of part-time catering and bar staff for his 46 seat bistro and coffee shop.
"There will also be jobs for a number of membership administrators and IT support staff as customers take advantage of everything on offer in the building, including a plug and play experience in the 82 hot desk facility."
Mr Dixon has also set up a membership offer with Hyde-based gym, Ultimate Fitness. Scott Gledhill, founder of the firm, said: “We have two facilities who would benefit from the collaboration - it’s a great way of introducing new customers.”
He also said he expects there to be opportunities in his group businesses who have outgrown their current premises in Ashton and will make their home in the building.
