Team Member Spotlight: Jules Tunstall, Programmes & Events Manager, pro-manchester

Introduce yourself

Hello everyone, my name is Jules. I’ve been part of the pro-manchester network for almost three years now, and it’s been an incredible journey. As Programmes & Events Manager, I help plan and deliver the wide range of events that bring Manchester’s business community together.

3 words that describe pro-manchester

If I had to describe pro-manchester in three words, I’d say inclusive, friendly and bonkers!

One thing people don’t realise about what we do

There’s such a welcoming energy to everything we do, but what many people don’t see is the level of detail happening behind the scenes. We truly plan within an inch of our lives to make sure every event runs smoothly.

Best part of working with the Manchester business community?

The best part of my role is seeing meaningful connections happen in real time. Watching people meet the right contacts and start conversations that could grow into partnerships or opportunities is incredibly rewarding.

Favourite pro-manchester event and why? 

Ohh tough one. CF lunch when I stand at the back of the room and see 500 delegates engaged. The most meaningful to me though is Healthtech.

What excites you most about the future of pro-manchester? 

The organisation is going from strength to strength, and I genuinely love being part of that journey.
