Manchester Central has partnered with the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce to boost the region’s business opportunities.
The new partnership has grown from a collaboration which began in 2019 with the launch of the Destination for Business event series, which covers topical themes for Manchester business leaders and helps to put the events sector at the centre of conversations.
Partnership aims
As part of the agreement, Chamber members will have the chance to get involved with events hosted at Manchester Central, while event organisers will also be able to list events on the Chamber’s website, promoting them across the region, and get complimentary access to members’ lounges and workspace at Chamber HQ in the city.
Throughout the partnership, there will be joint promotion of events and ongoing collaborations to ensure as many businesses in the city as possible have the opportunity to connect with each other.
Kickstarting the partnership, the fifth Destination for Business event will take place 9 February, discussing sustainable growth within the city-region. Panellists will include Nick Richardson, founder of The Insights Family; leadership coach and business owner Maria Brycleland, Melanie Yeomans, partner at Ward Hadaway, Patrick Molyneux, co-founding partner at Acceleris Capital and Sharon Amesu, co-founder of She Leads for Legacy.
Shaun Hinds, CEO at Manchester Central, said: “Businesses of all sizes are the lifeblood of our regional economy and mutually benefit from connecting with others to grow and develop. We are resolute in our commitment to helping the city’s businesses to thrive.
“Our partnership facilitates this by creating valuable conversations, opportunities and collaborations which we hope will generate transactions for Manchester and North West businesses.”
