Andy Burnham to delve into Greater Manchester’s Economy at upcoming conference

Mayor Andy Burnham will face questions and share his opinion on Greater Manchester’s economy at The Lowry Hotel next month.

Speaking at pro-manchester’s Economics Conference, Andy Burnham will be discussing how he believes our region’s economy has evolved in the past year and his predictions for the year ahead.

Now in its fourth year, after the success of last year’s theme, the pro-manchester Economics Conference is solely focusing on the economics of Greater Manchester, with fascinating themes to drive the agenda.

These themes include Brexit, employment, inclusive growth, housing, commercial real estate and much more.

pro-manchester’s chief executive, Dr John Ashcroft said: “I am delighted to have Greater Manchester’s Mayor taking to the stage at our Economics Conference to discuss his opinion on our region’s economy.

“I believe Mayor Andy Burnham will add great value to the topics we will be discussing throughout the day and look forward to hearing his insight.”
