Airport City Manchester was held up as an exemplar of inclusivity within the Northern Powerhouse at a recent speech by the North East Regional Chairman of the Institute of Directors.

Addressing delegates at the recent Northern Powerhouse conference in Manchester, Graham Robb highlighted how the city has taken a multi-faceted approach and is looking beyond its borders to deliver upon its future ambitions.

He said: “The approach of Manchester itself is proof that the Northern Powerhouse is not all about Manchester.  Its thinking has been broad minded and inclusive. Take just one example, Airport City Manchester.

“It has actively sought partners from across the UK and beyond. Its ownership includes Carillion, which is active across the entire North, and the Beijing Construction Engineering Group who have established a UK presence and development of their business around their investment in Airport City Manchester. 

"And, when it hosts an important discussion forum at the MIPIM international property conference in Cannes, it has actively included representatives from across the North on its panel.”
