We were PROPA buzzing to attend the pro-manchester Property and Regeneration Lunch at the Royal Nawaab Pyramid last week, and as always, the food did not disappoint! 🍽️
The highlight of the afternoon was an incredible fireside chat hosted by Euan Kellie with Sir Alan Cockshaw, reflecting on the regeneration of Manchester following the 1996 bombing, 30 years on. It was inspiring to hear how far the city has come and the vision and determination that got it there.
The panel discussion on what’s next for Manchester - with Tom Bloxham, Karen Hirst, Tom Webber and Miri Thomas - gave us plenty to think about. The ambition for this city is something else!!
Lovely to see Sally Ann Smith, Helen Capiter, Becki Petrondas, Kate Pexton and Rachel Tetlow, and wonderful to meet so many new faces too.
A huge well done to Tasmin Wallaston and the whole pro-manchester team for pulling together such a brilliant event. 👏
