When completed in 1962 the Co-operative Insurances Society’s headquarters was – at almost 400ft – the tallest office building in the UK. By G.S. Hay, chief architect of the Co-operative Wholesale Society (CWS) with Gordon Tait of Sir John Burnet, Tait and Partners, the building symbolised a confident moment for Manchester and the CIS. The interior utilised high-quality materials and was designed by Professor Misha Black and Alexander Gibson from the Design Research Unit. Daniels’ (of DANAD Design Associates) brightly coloured plastic laminate mural is located in the former fifth floor recreation room.
