This appears in the AIP for Manchester: 0161-499 5336 (Airport Watch Manager). Now whether that is the ATC Manager I don't know but you could try. If it's the wrong department I'm sure they could help. Alternatively, telephone Manchester Airport and ask for ATC.
I don't know what your motive is for visiting but it's often very difficult nowadays to visit an ATC unit unless you are a pilot ot ATCO.

Oh no HD, oh no 
You seem to have let slip your MA in grammar and spelling. Watch out, the grammar police may be on to you and you may also not give the 'correct' image to any aspiring ATCO's because last time i checked.... it was 'or'.
Anyone who thought of becoming an ATCO who got shot down by yourself and the fellow English faculty on here as they missed a spelling or any punctuations is now free to apply to their nearest ANSP quick smart.
It gets us all in the end.
Pot kettle and black dear chap, time to trade in those bi focals

Calm down Barbie.
I was merely pointing out that the holier than thou HD prowls these forums criticising anyone, especially folk who are interested in a career in ATC who do not live up to his grammatical perfection.... apparantly a must for ATC.
This is an internet forum, not a CV so odd mistakes on the use of capitals etc are not really an issue, or a true reflection of the person.
We all make mistakes, even i

King,
You wouldn't be wasting as much time if you actually attempted to help the original poster instead of moaning at HD.
Ross: Do as HD said or write a letter to them - I've always found letter writing easier, personally. Their address should be around somewhere if you try a Google/AIP search.
