On Tuesday 31st March, Downtown in Business hosted an exclusive Leaders Lunch with Michael Cullen, Chief Executive of Stockport Council, at Gusto in Manchester.
The event brought together senior business leaders from across the city region for an engaging and insightful discussion on the ambitious regeneration of Stockport and the significant opportunities it presents for investors, developers, and the wider business community.
During the session, Michael shared valuable insight into Stockport’s ongoing transformation. From major town centre redevelopment schemes and infrastructure improvements to the delivery of vibrant new neighbourhoods, the borough is rapidly establishing itself as one of the North West’s most exciting locations for growth and investment.
With strong public-private collaboration at the heart of its strategy, Stockport is building real momentum. The discussion highlighted how this collaborative approach is helping to unlock new opportunities, attract inward investment, and deliver sustainable, long-term economic growth.
Downtown in Business would like to extend a sincere thank you to Michael for his time and openness in sharing his vision and expertise. Thanks also go to Roxy Macalet and the team at Gusto for their excellent hospitality in hosting the event.
Leaders Lunch events are a key part of the Downtown in Business programme, offering members the opportunity to connect with key decision-makers and gain first-hand insight into the policies and projects shaping our city regions.
