Tim Newns, CEO of MIDAS, joins us in the studio for our second PSE podcast, giving a deep dive into Greater Manchester’s thriving economy, and how it has benefitted from international investment.

Covering Northern Powerhouse, health innovation and the exciting things we can expect from Manchester in 2020.
 
 

With hosts Emily Rodgers and Ailsa Cowen, the conversation kept flowing here in the PSE podcast room in Manchester as we challenge Tim to the common question of ‘Is international investment hurting local people?’

Jobs and skills are a central theme to the podcast, with insight into the staggering number of career opportunities MIDAS are contributing to the region by bringing successful companies to our city. Amazon, BA systems, Boohoo, Social Chain and the BBC are among the business giants choosing to operate from Manchester and Tim’s the man to tell us why.

We also ask Tim what Manchester is hoping to attract in 2020, which, whether you are public or private sector, is not an answer you can afford to ignore.

 
 Tim is a fountain of business knowledge, with facts, figures and reasoning that make you extremely hopeful for the future, and to quote him “I absolutely believe in the international nature of this city.”
