Sponsorship with pro-manchester can help you to increase brand exposure and awareness with a great variety of opportunities to suit all businesses.

pro-manchester is the largest business development organisation in the north west. Based in the heart of Manchester, it represents the business community across the region and supports growth and development to promote the north as the place to do business. Governed by a non-executive Board of directors made up of senior individuals from within our membership, we increase professional excellence through knowledge sharing, creating partnerships and staying ahead of the ever-changing business environment. pro-manchester organises circa 150 events per year, focusing on the 12 key sectors of growth identified by the Greater Manchester Strategy in 2013. With strategic partners across our region, our events offer unrivalled networking opportunities in the city and include dinners, lunches, seminars, workshops and more. We also host events that welcome hundreds of business leaders, including our Annual Dinner, conferences and the Made in Manchester Awards. Read on for more information on how you can align your business with the events Greater Manchester's leading professionals are attending.
