We have the great privilege of welcoming Sir Richard Leese as today’s Leader Keynote guest. Richard was the Leader of Manchester City Council from 1996 to 2021. He is now the Chair of NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care and he is the co-Chair of the Greater Manchester Integrated Care Partnership.

We heard from Richard in our three-part exploration into The DNA of Manchester but he has generously given us permission to share the full interview with our listeners.
