I work in tech mate.
Generally the stuff the tech industry does isn't newsworthy - outside of a couple of headline grabbers.
There are 100s of tech companies in Manchester too.
It's not wide of the mark at all.
It's a good thing that the region is putting a bid forward - I do hope they look beyond the London/Manchester/Birmingham thing as they have plenty keeping them occupied. BBC shifting to Manc for example. Our region is more than capable of taking on a project like this, and I think people would be willing to relocate. If not, then universities in the region are churning out people in production and media degrees in addition to the various tech qualifications. As far as I see it, science and tech are both big and still growing industries up here. Channel 4 would be well housed...bet it's cheaper too.
