Dr John Ashcroft, pro-manchester Chief Executive and author of The Saturday Economist said: “We are really looking forward to seeing how well the Greater Manchester devolution has benefitted our region.

We expect even more success this year, with the introduction of the ‘Greater Manchester Balanced Scorecard’. It is going to be of huge interest to businesses and to the Greater Manchester community.”
