A recruitment event taking place in Manchester is hoping to find the next wave of ‘aspiring millionaires’ to move to Dubai.
Allsopp & Allsopp is the highest-awarded independent real estate company in Dubai, and now they’re looking to add to their team of self-made millionaires.
It’s a chance to join 750,000 other expats in the glamorous city, which offers year-round sunshine and six-figure salaries.
The Dubai-based real estate group is bringing its recruitment events back to four cities across the UK, including right here in Manchester.
Allsopp & Allsopp will be at The Edwardian Manchester for two nights, on 6 and 7 September, hoping to ‘identify and welcome the next wave of aspiring millionaires’.

Since the business was established almost 15 years ago by Lewis Allsopp (CEO) and Carl Allsopp (COO), they’ve seen agents’ careers flourish.
At last year’s Birmingham recruitment event, the team took on Blake Runciman, commercial property consultant. He had been selling photocopiers and printers in Norwich, but now he’s living the Dubai Dream and on his way to the six-figure mark.

Similarly, Travis Duncan attended the recruitment event in 2022 with zero real estate experience – he’s already concluded a sale of over AED 17 million (equivalent to £3.6 million).
Some of Allsopp & Allsopp’s most established agents are self-made millionaires, like Charlie King, who previously was a plumber; and Lee Weston, who previously worked in customer service for Aldi but now works in key communities such as Downtown Dubai, La Mer and Mohammed bin Rashid City, and sits on the millionaire-row at the office.

The latest H1 report shared by the real estate group showcases how the Dubai real estate market continues its upward transaction, showing no signs of slowing down. For its over 500 team members, market demand and platform growth have secured unparalleled success.
Lewis Allsopp, CEO of Allsopp & Allsopp Group, said: “Dubai’s real estate stands resilient, consistently promising significant returns for every investor.
“The demand for the real estate market in Dubai is compared to none and as the population continues to surge the supply-demand game continues to favour real estate agents who are given the correct platform and support.
“Allsopp & Allsopp is this platform, one where growth is seen from every corner of the business.”
Allsopp & Allsopp’s next life-changing recruitment event will take place at The Edwardian Manchester between 5pm and 8pm on 6 and 7 September.

Autotrader and viral food brand SpudBros are opening their first jacket potato drive-thru
Daisy Jackson
Autotrader has teamed up with SpudBros, the UK’s viral jacket potato trader, to open the first jacket potato drive-thru in Manchester.
The UK’s largest automotive marketplace is working with the SpudBros duo on the new Autotater drive-thru, where the duo will be handing out free jacket spuds – and which can also value your car in less than 10 seconds.
You’ll be able to visit the one-of-a-kind drive-thru for one day only next month, picking up a baked potato from an exclusive menu that includes the Autotater (a twist on a classic loaded spud) and the Curry In A Hurry (SpudBros’ signature garlic chicken curry).
You’ll also be able to tune into the Spud FM radio with SpudBros co-founders Jacob and Harley. Autotrader and SpudBros have teamed up for the drive-thru experience off the back of new research that has shown 44% of UK drivers have no idea what their car is actually worth.
The same research has also revealed that half of those surveyed are unsure how to determine the value of their car.
So now Mancs will be able to have their car instantly valued in less than 10 seconds, by Autotrader’s award-winning valuation service*, simply by visiting the Autotater drive-thru on 12 February.
Autotrader will be dishing out free valuations, to help ensure car owners don’t get small potatoes for their car and are empowered to choose when it’s the right time to sell.
Autotrader and viral food brand SpudBros are opening their first jacket potato drive-thru
This will be the first drive-thru for SpudBros, a brand which grew a traditional jacket potato van into a national sensation, finding viral fame on TikTok.
With a cult following of more than 4.8m people on TikTok and Instagram, the pair are now bringing their trademark energy offline for a drive-thru window with free spuds.
Erin Baker, Editorial Director at Autotrader said: “We know no one loves admin, which is why we want to make it easier and quicker for people to find out the true value of their car, in under 10 seconds.
“There’s something fun about that moment of surprise when you finally see what your car is really worth. Once you have that information, you can decide what to do next – whether that’s selling, upgrading or simply showing off to your mates.”
Jacob and Harley Nelson, the founders of SpudBros commented: “This is a big one for us. We’ve fed people across the country and even internationally, and Manchester is one of our most requested visits, so this is a really exciting opportunity.
“We love doing things that get people talking, and we also love cars, so teaming up with fellow Northern brand Autotrader lets us serve up something new that we feel passionately about – a free spud, a car valuation, and telling the story through social media.”
The Autotrader drive-thru will open in Manchester on 12 February, at Depot Mayfield. Tickets will be available through a draw on the Autotrader website for a limited time only.

MediaCity’s massive Vue cinema has had a comfort upgrade with new ‘Ultra Lux’ seats
Emily Sergeant
Manchester cinephiles are now able to enjoy the latest movie releases in ultimate comfort.
That’s because, over at the popular MediaCity Vue cinema complex, 75 brand-new ‘Ultra Lux’ seats have been installed across seven screens, offering film fans what is, quite literally, the chance to sit in the best seats in the house.
Each seat provides the very-best view of the big screen and comes with a host of premium features.
Some of these exciting premium features include extra-wide armrests and a personal table for snacks and drinks, your very-own beverage cooler, which is ideal for films with a particularly long run-time, and even a back and legs that recline independently, so you can find the most relaxing viewing position possible.
Vue currently has 93 state-of-the-art cinemas throughout the UK and Ireland, totalling more than 850 screens – and the Quayside cinema is the latest to benefit from upgraded seating.

This means that anyone heading to the cinema to see some of the latest and upcoming releases like Avatar: Fire and Ash, Marty Supreme, The Housemaid, Fackham Hall, Wicked: For Good, and so many more, can experience comfort like never before.
“We have invested in bringing Vue’s best seating option to our venue and are excited for our customers to enhance their experience on their next visit,” commented Darren Tinsley, who is the General Manager at Vue Manchester Quayside.
“It is truly the best way to immerse yourself in a film and to have the most comfortable experience.”
Tickets for Vue Manchester Quayside start from £6.49, with upgrades to Ultra Lux from £3 on selected tickets.
January is a month where the temperatures are colder, the days darker, and the social batteries a little lower, so it couldn’t be a better time to lose yourself in the power of cinema – and treat yourself to an Ultra Lux experience.
You can book tickets to upcoming films online by visiting myvue.com.
