“We're finding our feet again as a city.”

Lisa Morton is in the process of talking to one hundred born, bred and adopted Mancunians that have been -  and are - the building blocks of Greater Manchester.

 At the start of a new year it’s time to both reflect and look forward. 

Who’s going to be running the city?

What are the events we'll be looking forward to?

And how is Manchester’s skyline going to change? 

Lisa’s joined by Chief Executive of Manchester City Council, Joanne Roney OBE CBE; Entrepreneur and Business owner Karina Jadhav, Broadcaster Anna Jameson and 

the Co Founder of OBI property Will Lewis, to look at these issues and more.  

This episode is a celebration of Greater Manchester's spirit and a look ahead to its bright and promising horizon.

------

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 26 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.
