Welcome from our Chairman Paul Lupton

Manchester is undoubtedly the UK’s second city and one of the reasons for its strength is the financial and professional services sector – we bring a lot of business to the region.  The city is a beacon for high quality, deep sector expertise. 
 
When Pro Manchester was founded 25 years ago, the mission was to connect individuals within the financial and professional sector in the city.  As the organisation has changed, so have the members and their needs. 
 
As Chairman of Pro Manchester, my aim is to establish a strong and lasting connection between our financial and professional community and key corporate sector organisations, as well as developing an innovative offering for businesses in the SME sector.  
 
You have my commitment to ensuring Pro Manchester runs as a successful self funded organisation whilst increasing our members access to key privately owned and plc businesses in the region.
