Episode Synopsis

What values drive a CEO with integrity like Sir Howard Bernstein?  As the Chief Executive of Manchester City Council for nearly 20 years, Sir Howard got the city back on its feet after the IRA bomb in 1996. He then carried on his regeneration mission for almost two decades, galvanising public and private partnerships, changing the skyline and creating new communities in addition to bringing The Commonwealth Games to Manchester.Lisa Morton finds out how you rebuild a city, the values that drove Sir Howard to grow the community, and the legacy he wants to leave. Sir Howard also has some warm words of advice and support for Greater Manchester as we rebuild out of a pandemic.We Built This City is a series of conversations with some of the amazing Mancunians - born, bred or adopted – who put the heart into modern Manchester. A celebration of the human grit, determination and love found throughout the city, these episodes will lift you up, make you laugh and inspire you to leave our city in a better place.Your host, Lisa Morton, started PR company Roland Dransfield in 1996, one month after the fateful IRA bomb that tore apart the city centre. From that point, the business, and its team members, have been involved in helping to support the creation of Modern Manchester – across regeneration, business, charity, leisure and hospitality, sport and culture. To celebrate the 24 years that Roland Dransfield has spent creating these bonds, Lisa is gathering together some of her Greater Mancunian ‘family’ and will be exploring how they have created their own purposeful relationships with the best place in the world.Connect with Lisa and Roland Dransfield:Via Phone: 01612361122Via their websiteOn InstagramOn Twitter On Spotify Connect with Howard:Via DeloitteMentioned in this episode: We Built This City's partnership with Manchester Metropolitan UniversityOn this episode, We Built This City has partnered with Manchester Metropolitan University.
