Manc 42: Simon Wood - Manchester’s MasterChef
“I want to be the best at anything that I do. And if you're not doing it to be the best at it, then let someone else do it and do something that you're better at.”
Founder of Wood Restaurants and 2015 winner of MasterChef, Simon Wood, began his love affair with food with his nan’s tripe and cow heel - and now he’s celebrated in the Michelin Guide.
Discover alongside Lisa Morton the importance of pursuing your dreams, the value of timing your successes and not jumping the gun, and how to be a voice for the people when the world’s turned upside down.
There are conversations with fellow Manchester foodies Corin Bell and Mary Ellen McTauge available on the We Built This City feed for you to listen to now. Also, Simon talks about the work Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has done, you can hear the episode with Andy on the feed too.
We Built This City is a series of conversations with some of the amazing Mancunians - born, bred or adopted – who put the heart into modern Manchester. A celebration of the human grit, determination and love found throughout the city, these episodes will lift you up, make you laugh and inspire you to leave our city in a better place.

Your host, Lisa Morton, started PR company Roland Dransfield in 1996, one month after the fateful IRA bomb that tore apart the city centre. From that point, the business, and its team members, have been involved in helping to support the creation of Modern Manchester – across regeneration, business, charity, leisure and hospitality, sport and culture.
To celebrate the 24 years that Roland Dransfield has spent creating these bonds, Lisa is gathering together some of her Greater Mancunian ‘family’ and will be exploring how they have created their own purposeful relationships with the best place in the world.
