The Night-time Economy Czar for Greater Manchester, Sacha Lord, treated Downtown in Business members to a barnstorming performance at a ‘Leaders Lunch’ hosted at the city’s outstanding Hyatt Regency Hotel earlier this week (Tuesday 25 April 2023).

Sacha spoke about his own fascinating career journey, MADchester, city centre living, and the Warehouse Project, before addressing the challenges that the hospitality sector has been grappling with in recent times, including Brexit, recruitment, and energy prices.

He also spoke about his passion for helping future budding hospitality leaders and entrepreneurs through a charitable foundation he is establishing later in the year and the work he is doing with Wythenshawe Amateurs Football Club.
