Manchester · Lead generation agency
Lead generation agency in Manchester, done for you.
Inboxx is a B2B lead generation agency based on Lloyd Street in Manchester city centre. We build the list, write the emails, handle the replies and book qualified sales meetings into your calendar, so your team spends its time closing rather than prospecting. Clients across Greater Manchester, the North West and the rest of the UK.
Why Inboxx
Why Manchester businesses choose Inboxx for lead generation
Plenty of agencies in Manchester will sell you traffic. We do something more direct: we start conversations with the exact people who can buy from you, and we turn those conversations into meetings.
Done for you, not a login
You are not buying software or a list. A dedicated Inboxx team researches, writes, sends, replies and reports on your behalf. Nothing to learn, nothing to manage, no SDR to hire.
Plain-text emails people answer
No banners, no templates, no marketing gloss. Personal emails written to sound like you, sent from warmed domains so they land in the primary inbox and read like a note from a colleague.
Qualified meetings in your diary
We work every reply until there is a real conversation booked with the right person at a company that fits. You get the meeting, with context, and you close it.
Reporting you can actually read
Every month: what went out, what opened, what replied, what it cost and what to change next. Real numbers in plain English, with nothing hidden and no vague promises.
Honest packages, no long lock-ins
Three and six-month campaign packages with a clear monthly fee. You see the cost before you start, and you decide whether to scale once the data is in.
What is included
What our Manchester lead generation service covers
01
Discovery and your ideal customer
We learn your offer, your market and what a genuinely good customer looks like, whether that is a Spinningfields law firm, a Trafford Park manufacturer or a SaaS company anywhere in the UK. Every email is aimed at the right person for the right reason.
02
Prospect list building
We build and verify a fresh list of decision-makers at companies that fit, locally across Greater Manchester or nationally. No bought databases shared with every other agency, no scattergun.

Cold email outreach and deliverability
Personalised plain-text sequences go out under your name from dedicated, authenticated and warmed sending domains. We watch deliverability every day and test copy, angles and audiences every week.
04
Appointment setting and reporting
We handle replies, qualify interest, book meetings into your calendar, send reminders and rebook anything that slips. You get a clear monthly report and a campaign that sharpens the longer it runs.

Who we work with
Sectors we generate leads for across Greater Manchester
Manchester has one of the UK's largest business economies outside London, and its mix of tech, professional services and industry suits outbound well. If your customers are businesses and a decision-maker reads email, the approach works.
Technology and SaaS
From MediaCity and Ancoats startups to scaling software firms, we book demos with the buyers who own the budget, not just the people who are curious.
Professional services
Law, accountancy, consultancy and financial advice. We reach finance directors, founders and managing partners with a relevant, credible message that earns a meeting.
Manufacturing and engineering
Trafford Park to Bolton and beyond. We open doors with procurement, operations and engineering leads who rarely answer the phone but do read a good email.
Recruitment and staffing
New client wins, not candidates. We put your consultants in front of hiring managers and HR leads at the companies you want on your books.
Financial services and fintech
Spinningfields and beyond. Compliant, precise outreach to the decision-makers at firms that fit your criteria, with every unsubscribe honoured.
Creative and digital agencies
Agencies are great at marketing everyone but themselves. We run your new business pipeline so your team can stay billable.
Where we work
Areas we cover from our Manchester office
We are based in the city centre and work with companies across every M postcode and the wider North West, and we run national and international campaigns from here too.
Manchester city centre (Spinningfields, Deansgate, the Northern Quarter, Ancoats and Piccadilly), Salford and MediaCity, Trafford including Old Trafford and Trafford Park, Stockport, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Tameside, Wigan, and Cheshire towns such as Altrincham, Wilmslow, Knutsford and Warrington. Because cold email is not limited by geography, many of our Manchester clients target prospects across the UK, Europe and the United States.

Choosing well
How to choose a lead generation agency in Manchester
Six questions worth asking before you sign with anyone, including us.
01
Do they generate leads, or traffic?
Many Manchester agencies that rank for "lead generation" are SEO, paid media or social specialists. Traffic is useful, but it is not a booked meeting with a buyer. Be clear about which one you are paying for.
02
Who actually does the work?
Ask whether a named team writes and sends your campaigns or whether you are being handed a tool and a template. Personalisation and reply handling are where results are won or lost.
03
Where does the data come from?
A stale, shared database produces stale, shared results. Insist on a list built around your ideal customer and verified before a single email goes out.
04
How do they protect deliverability?
Dedicated sending domains, SPF, DKIM and DMARC, gradual warm-up and sensible volumes. If an agency cannot explain this, your main domain is at risk.
05
What will the reporting show?
Sent, opened, replied, meetings booked and cost per meeting, every month, in language you can share with your board. Anything vaguer than that is a warning sign.
06
What are the contract terms?
Look for a defined campaign length and a clear fee, not an open-ended retainer. A good agency is happy to prove the channel over three months and let the numbers argue for more.
Channels compared
Cold email against the other lead generation channels in Manchester
Paid search and social ads reach people who are already looking, which is valuable, but budgets rise every year and the leads are often researchers rather than buyers. SEO compounds over time and we invest in it ourselves, but it takes months and cannot target a specific company. LinkedIn outreach works for some markets, though inboxes there are crowded and connection limits cap the volume. Telemarketing can book meetings, but most decision-makers no longer answer unknown numbers.
Personalised cold email reaches a named decision-maker in the one place they check every day, at a cost per lead that is hard to match. It scales without ad spend, it can be aimed at exact companies and job titles, and every reply is a warm conversation for your sales team. That is why it is the core of what Inboxx does, and why we combine it with careful deliverability work and hands-on appointment setting rather than treating it as a numbers game.
Packages
Clear packages for a Manchester lead generation campaign
Launch runs for three months and is designed to prove the channel. Scale runs for six months and is where most clients see the strongest return. Bespoke covers multi-market and enterprise programmes. Every package includes list building, copy, sending infrastructure, reply handling, appointment setting and monthly reporting.
Questions
Lead generation agency Manchester: your questions answered
Is Inboxx actually based in Manchester?
Yes. Inboxx Limited is registered and based at Lloyds House, 18 Lloyd Street, Manchester M2 5WA, in the city centre. Campaigns are planned and run from here, and clients across Greater Manchester are welcome to meet us in person.
Do you only work with Manchester companies?
No. Most of our clients are in Greater Manchester and the North West, but cold email works anywhere, so we run campaigns for companies across the UK and internationally from our Manchester base. Your prospects can be local, national or global.
What does a lead generation agency in Manchester cost?
We work on clear monthly packages over three or six months rather than open-ended retainers, so you know the cost up front. Pricing depends on the size and complexity of your target market, and we publish our package structure on the site. A recent managed campaign delivered leads at £22 each.
How is Inboxx different from other Manchester lead generation agencies?
Most agencies in Manchester sell traffic: SEO, paid ads or social. We do outbound. We build a verified list of your ideal decision-makers, write plain-text emails that read like a colleague sent them, handle the replies and book qualified meetings into your calendar. You get conversations, not clicks.
Which channels do you use?
Personalised plain-text cold email is our core channel because it reaches decision-makers directly in the place they check every day. We manage the deliverability side too: dedicated sending domains, authentication and warm-up. Where it helps, we support outreach with follow-up calls to confirm meetings.
How quickly will we see qualified meetings?
The first few weeks go on research, list building and warming up sending domains, so the campaign starts on solid ground. Most clients see replies and the first booked meetings inside the first month, with a clear read on what is working by the end of the first three-month cycle.
Can we meet in person?
Of course. We are a short walk from St Peter's Square and Deansgate, so kick-off meetings and quarterly reviews at our office, or at yours anywhere in Greater Manchester, are easy to arrange.
Do you work with our industry?
We run campaigns for B2B companies across technology and SaaS, professional services, manufacturing and engineering, recruitment, financial services and creative agencies. If your customers are businesses and a decision-maker can be reached by email, the approach works.
Is cold email compliant with UK GDPR?
Business-to-business cold email is permitted in the UK when it is relevant, sent to appropriate business contacts and offers a clear way to opt out. We work on a legitimate-interest basis, keep targeting tight, use business rather than personal addresses and honour every unsubscribe.
What do we need to provide to get started?
An hour of your time for a discovery session, a clear picture of who your best customers are, and your calendar availability for meetings. We handle the list, the copy, the sending infrastructure, the replies and the reporting.
