On Tuesday 16th June 2026 Downtown in Business hosted an exclusive Leaders Lunch with Paul Dennett, Mayor of Salford, and Stephen Young, Chief Executive of Salford City Council, at the wonderful Banyan, bringing together key voices from across the city region to discuss development, regeneration and long-term growth.
The conversation explored the opportunities and challenges shaping Salford’s future, with a clear emphasis on how stronger collaboration between the public and private sectors can continue to drive meaningful investment and sustainable economic growth.
Huge thank you to our sponsors Krol Corlett and Sutcliffe.
A valuable discussion with city leaders committed to shaping a stronger, more resilient Salford and wider city region economy.
