Revolution Man

The outdoor poster is dead and Manchester is hammering the last nail in its coffin, according to James Burrows, Group CEO of Litelogic, who claims an outdoor digital revolution is being launched on our doorstep. We catch up with the straight-talking Londoner to find out what all the fuss is about.

The WOW factor

Manchester boasts some fantastic corporate hospitality venues, from world-famous football stadiums to charming boutique hotels and everything in between. We pick three of the best for dramatic effect.

The Dutch Way

How many Dutchmen does it take to put Trafford Park on the radar of every alcoholic beverage producer in Europe? Well, apparently one is enough. His name is Hans van Gurp and he is doing great... with a little help from his Mancunian friends.

Sweet Oriental Dreams

Just when we thought you could not possibly squeeze another hotel bedroom into Manchester, local entrepreneur Gerry Yeung unveils the Yang Sing Oriental and predicts a growing market for years to come.

Digital Ace

If you want to be at the forefront of the digital wave, you'd better be in Manchester. Bold statement indeed, but considering the fact that it belongs to Michael Flynn, chief executive of Fast Web Media, whose Manchester-based company counts Carling, Nationwide, UEFA and the Premier League among its clients, dismissing it is not advisable.

The Swedish connection

When Anders Bouvin moved to the UK to establish the new regional head office for Handelsbanken in the North, he knew he might have some tough decisions to make. Luckily, choosing the location wasn't one of them.

Rebel with a cause

As he embarks on a crusade to revive independent retailing across England, David Mallon explains to All About Manchester editor Evie Lucas why it all had to start in Manchester.

Corporate Hospitality

With its majestic hotels, opulent restaurants and glamorous nightclubs, Manchester is the capital of corporate hospitality. We pick three of the city's most exciting venues for corporate dos with added oomph.

Science city

The atomic theory, the splitting of the atom, the Lovell Telescope, the world's first computer - just a few of the things that were made in Manchester. Evie Lucas meets Prof. Mark Ferguson, CEO of Manchester-based biotechnology company Renovo, and discovers that the original modern city is still at the forefront of innovation.

Tom Bloxham

Manchester has a proud heritage as the world's first industrial city, the birthplace of the modern world, but does it have what it takes to re-emerge as a global city to watch or has it run out of steam? Property and regeneration guru Tom Bloxham tells Evie Lucas he is doing his bit.

Tourism Awards

Ever more tourists are visiting Manchester. We find out what is attracting them to the city.

Designer city

As a national exhibition celebrates innovative architecture in Manchester, we take a look at some of the new buildings that are turning heads.

Size matters

With so many buildings going up in Manchester at an astonishing rate, it is difficult to get excited about a single development project. Until you take a look at Spinningfields, that is.
