Staff benefits

Hair & beauty

Just in time for Mother’s Day we have a new discount with Preened and Polished, a new beauty salon in the Northern Quarter. They are offering a 10% discount off all their treatments and gift vouchers for all University of Manchester staff. This offer has absolutely no restrictions on time or days but does exclude special offers.  

Travel

Hoseasons provides you with up to 10% discount and there are a number of late deals at the moment covering Easter and May holidays that you can save 15%! This includes a multi award winning resort overlooking the picture postcard fishing village of Portreath. Visit the secure link to see this and other offers. Following St Patrick’s Day cottages.com also has some popular listings for Ireland! Hotel Exclusives has selection of deals that will be sure to tempt you including the Algarve, Cotswolds, Cyprus, Lake District & much more.

Mother’s Day

Discounts are still available on ordering flowers with Blossoming Gifts (20%), Appleyard London (20%) and Venus (10%). Wish offer a great range of experience days in the UK that you will never forget.  They range from driving, flying or spa days to adrenaline events such as bungee jumping, as well as short breaks and golf lessons. 

Travel

For those of you planning Easter getaways, you can receive 17.5% off any car park booking as well as 50% off any Security FastTrack ticket at Manchester Airport. Take the hassle out of getting to the airport, and secure your space now! Campervans4fun is a friendly, family run business based in Stockport and continues to offer their popular 10% discount. The campervans are all kitted out to the highest standards with storage facilities, a kitchen that includes a sink, fridge and gas hob and seats/sleeps up to five people. Visit the travel discounts for more information.

Family friendly

University staff can save 15% on a huge range of baby sleep products with The Gro Company. Our Workplace Nursery Scheme means that you can sacrifice the full cost of your childcare costs if using one of our on-campus nurseries. This means that you are only taxed on your salary after your nursery fees have been deducted. For those using nurseries closer to home or holiday clubs, or sport and activity centres like Activate Sport, you can save with KiddiVouchers!

Motoring

Driven is technology being launched by Kamet Ventures, funded by AXA, designed to take all the inconvenience out of maintaining your car. Their aim is to regulate the entire service, maintenance and repair supply chain. As part of app testing they are offering you £150 off car servicing. Download this great offer here! This is only available to the first 150 customers.  Please note that the app is only available on Play store (only for Android devices). However, Driven also has a contact centre in Manchester that can do bookings for those customers that either don't have an Android phone or simply don't want to download the app. The contact centre is open from 9 am to 5 pm Mon-Fri and the landline is 01614570325 (the coupon code DSMR39 is valid also for bookings through the call centre). Halfords also continues to offer significant savings on MOTs and servicing.
