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.

Manchester’s The Grosvenor pub set to host huge England fan zone with Fireball for 2026 World Cup
Danny Jones
With the 2026 World Cup fast approaching, there’ll obviously be tonnes of places showing the game, but there’s only one place that’s promising big screens, ball pits, pool tables, ping pong, a ‘peep show’ and plenty more right from the off: The Grosvenor.
It doesn’t hurt that they’re teaming up with beloved booze brand Fireball to spice things up.
We hope the goals come easily for England this tournament, but we can assure the drinks will be free-flowing regardless, over at The Grosvenor on Oxford Road Corridor here in Manchester city centre.
Located just on the corner of (you guessed it) Grosvenor St and the busy Oxford Rd stretch, they’re already getting geared up for tournament time…
Teaming up with the famous cinnamon whisky liqueur, the popular student and matchday spot is set to be busier than ever for this year’s World Cup.
As for what they have in store for the North American edition of FIFA’s biggest competition and the ultimate celebration of the beautiful game, besides numerous England flags hanging from the walls and that beautiful ceiling, there’ll be plenty of music, England anthems, giveaways and top-tier atmosphere.
In addition to lots of chanting from yourselves, no doubt, there’ll be DJ sets and merch up for grabs, as well as lots of big wigs, St George’s glasses and foam hands floating around the room.

Of course, there will also be wall-to-wall coverage of the games across their many screens around the venue, not least of all the big box sitting pride of place above the bar itself.
With two large floors and more intimate seating options upstairs, there are plenty of ways to watch Thomas Tuchel’s team fly the flag.
Kicking off with the Three Lions’ opening clash against Croatia on Wednesday, 17 June, the venue will be transformed into a sea of red and white, and guests will also be treated to a completely FREE shot of Fireball every single time England score.
Don’t mind if we do.
Naturally, with stuff like this on offer, fans are encouraged to grab their tickets for the fixtures as early as possible so as not to miss out.
In their words AND ours, “From the first whistle to the final anthem, The Grosvenor is set to become one of Manchester’s home ends for the World Cup.”
You can reserve your tickets from just £3 for The Grosvenor Fireball Fanzone – along with plenty of cheap pints and affordable food and drink packages – right HERE.
(Don’t say, don’t say it, don’t say it) It’s coming home…

Sustainable clothing brand Lucy & Yak to host first-ever PreLoved Weekender in Manchester
Emily Sergeant
Popular sustainable brand Lucy & Yak is set to host its first ever pre-loved clothing event this bank holiday weekend.
Lucy & Yak is turning its stores into dedicated PreLoved hubs for an entire weekend – celebrating second-hand shopping with communities across the UK.
Since 2023, Lucy & Yak – which is an independent, people-focused brand with all items made using organic, natural, recycled, or deadstock fabrics – has kept more than 42,000 items, also known affectionately as ‘Yaks’, in circulation through its PreLoved scheme, where customers bring in and return their old pieces, and once processed, will then receive a money-off voucher to put towards their next purchase.
Damaged pieces are repaired or upcycled by the Re:Yak Studio team in Yorkshire, before being sold on in-store to find their new homes.
While Lucy & Yak stores carry a dedicated PreLoved rail year-round, this late May bank holiday weekend from Saturday 23 – Monday 25 May, the whole Manchester store experience will be transformed – with a much larger, expanded PreLoved section.
There’ll be everything from old gems to one-off pieces available to get your hands on – all still wearable, all still loveable.
As well as here in Manchester city centre, the PreLoved Weekender will also be taking place at Lucy & Yak stores in Brighton, Bristol, Cambridge, Canterbury, Chester, Edinburgh, Exeter, London, Norwich, Nottingham, Sheffield, and Portsmouth, so no matter where you are in the country this bank holiday, you don’t have to miss out.
What’s more is that fashion lovers in Manchester will also get to take part in a series of upcycling workshops in store on Bank Holiday Monday, with more events planned in the coming weeks.
The brand says its stores are ‘more than just shops’ – they’re spaces for the community to connect, and where Lucy & Yak’s values come to life in person.

“We’re so excited to bring the PreLoved Weekender to our stores this May,” commented Lydia Coley, who is the Managing Director at Lucy & Yak.
“Lucy & Yak has always been built around community, creativity, and doing things a little differently, and PreLoved brings all of that together. We’re incredibly proud of keeping over 42,000 Yaks in circulation. Every second-hand Yak has a story, and this weekend is about helping those pieces find their next home in a fun way.”
The PreLoved Weekender will be taking place at Lucy & Yak’s Manchester store in the Northern Quarter this Saturday 23 – Monday 25 May, and you can find out more here.
