“Creating a world where people are free to love who they want.”
Mark Fletcher, CEO of Manchester Pride, brought Ariana Grande to the Pride stage in 2019, cementing it as an event that attracts global attention. Closer to home, Lisa Morton discovers how his fight for a more inclusive world is helping to break down barriers for Manchester’s LGBTQ+ community
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.
