Annual Dinner makes a good impression

Over 500 professionals gathered at the Hilton Hotel on Thursday for the pro.manchester Annual Dinner.

The black tie event which was also sponsored by the Hilton Hotel Manchester, was an opportunity for members old and new and their guests to gather for an evening of relaxation, entertainment and celebration, as pro.manchester enters it’s 25th year of representing the city’s financial and professional sector.

Man of a thousand voices Jon Culshaw provided the entertainment for the evening with an array of famous voices making an appearance, Culshaw even risked an impression of pro.manchester’s own Chief Executive John Ashcroft much to the delight of the audience.

It was also a chance for outgoing Chairman Chris Baguley to address pro.manchester members for almost the last time and reflect on his year in office,  a year in which pro.manchester has increased it’s membership and it’s business development programme as well as hosting key events including the Business and Professional Services Conference and taking part in key projects such as The Innovation and Enterprise Research Project. Chris also highlighted the key role of the membership organisation in the promotion of the business and professional services sector in the Manchester city region and beyond.

He said ‘  it has been a transformational year’ for pro?manchester in which I have been truly honoured to have served as Chairman’
