pro.manchester is strengthening its team with the appointments of Robina Williams and Nicola Mortimer.

Robina, who previously worked at property company Property North West, has joined as business development executive.  She is tasked with building on the organisation’s growing membership base and will be working closely with key decision makers in the region to promote the benefits of the organisation.

Nicola, formerly events manager at Bolton-based luxury global travel company Travel Counsellors, has joined as events and conference manager.  She will focus on raising the profile of new headline initiatives including the Gateway Group, a breakfast programme which brings together the most influential individuals from the City Region. 

Nicola will also manage pro.manchester’s debut financial and professional conference next March in partnership with key stakeholder organisations in the City Region.  This will bring to the fore the core issues affecting the sector.

Working with the pro.manchester team, Nicola will be heavily involved in co-ordinating the existing programme of events, which includes the chairman’s reception, the annual lecture, city walks and headline business lunches with heavyweight speakers such as Marcus Agius from Barclays, Sir Howard Bernstein, Peter Salmon, head of BBC North and Alex Connock.

Speaking of the new additions to the team, John Ashcroft, chief executive of pro.manchester, said:

“Nicola and Robina bring a wealth of experience to their roles and will continue to build on our offering to members.  They will both be involved in our strategic approach to bring new members on board.
 
“Nicola will be drawing on the success of our events programme, which has established an enviable reputation for connecting professionals in the region, to raise the profile of new initiatives which aim to bring more business opportunities to members.

“Robina will also be an invaluable asset and, with her experience in generating new business, is well placed to increase our membership in the next 12 months

pro.manchester would like to thank Peter Rapaport of Marketing Search for his assistance with our new appointments
