Manchester Central reposted this
Honoured to be on the front cover of the August issue of North West Business Insider, out this week. There is so much opportunity and possibility for Manchester Central. We are seeing a real surge in businesses and delegates wanting to be out and about, meeting and negotiating deals in person rather than virtually on Teams and Zoom, and I loved discussing the various ways we can position ourselves as the facilitators of those meetings and events for this piece. Please do let me know your thoughts if you read the interview and many thanks to Simon Keegan and the team at Insider Media for their interest and time.
