Dianne Bourne goes to the party so you don’t have to: “Manchester’s full of great people with stories to tell."
As Showbiz Editor for the Manchester Evening News Diary page for 13 years, Dianne is no stranger to fame. She’s interviewed global superstars including Rihanna, at the Trafford Centre, Lady Gaga, in Whalley Range and Snoop Dogg, in Ordsall. Lisa Morton discovers how this gossip columnist learnt how to gossip in the right way, and created the buzz around Manchester’s celebrity culture.
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.
